LedZeppfan77 Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 So Strider, what are the LA papers like these days? Did you ever think you would live to see a time when the Kings were better than the Lakers? It took about 40 years. And it likely will not last more than 3 or 4 years if that. Any Jack Nicholson sightings at a Kings game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any Jack Nicholson sightings at a Kings game? Never seen Jack at a Kings game. Have seen Sylvester Stallone, Tom Hanks and his wife Rita Wilson, and Tom Cruise. Win or lose, the Lakers always get more coverage in the press than the Clippers or Kings. That's just the way the pecking order is among the local teams...as follows: Lakers Dodgers USC football/UCLA basketball Clippers Angels Kings UCLA football/USC basketball Ducks Galaxy/soccer Santa Anita/horse racing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ally Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Let's see, the Canucks look terrible and lose to Dallas, the next night, they comeback from 2 goals down and beat Chicago in Chicago ! Me thinks Torts will have torn out all of his hair by seasons end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Ally this Vancouver team is strange. And so is the entire damn season. I cant wait until its over and my boys can start cashing in those 17 first and second round picks they have coming.

Well. a lot of this season in the west has been predictable ie Hawks, Kings, Blues , Sharks but I'm totally dumb founded when it come's to the Canucks. Not that I expect them to even make the playoffs but this horrible one night and then world beater the next act they're putting on just doesn't sit well with me. Can't blame Torts for that. It's the players and I'm thinking that we could be in major off loading mode fairly soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one thing I noticed w/ the Rangers, is that it took a toll on their bodies, later in the season and in the post season it showed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the players and I'm thinking that we could be in major off loading mode fairly soon You certainly are going to be in the playoffs. I mean, I have to go look but I think you are pretty much in are you not? Vancouver is a dangerous team. They have a battle tested goalie in Luongo. The Sedin's have to dig in and play great and so does Kesler. Higgins is great. You guys are not without a shot. I just think the others you mention are a touch better right now. I would love to see the Blues or Canucks win it. I do not want the Sharks to win one just yet, because in my mind the Sabres deserve to win one before they do. We have been around and had alot of great teams. With these 17 number one and two picks, we should be able to make a real big run within 3-4 years. Maybe even 2 if they handle things correctly. I am hoping Wayne Gretsky gets the nod for GM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's something we should have been doing a lot more of during the last two playoff years but I agree with you, too much of it during the regular season will eventually start taking a toll.

zepscoda Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Stars looked good last night vs your Kings Strider. What was the deal with the lazer show after the game ? They ( fox sports southwest ) shows a snipit on the stars post game show, , but had no audio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it stands, we're presently hanging on to a wild card spot so I wouldn't say we're a lock for a playoff spot at all. Luongo suffered an undisclosed " lower body injury " against the Jets on Sunday so if he's out indefinitely, it'll remain to be seen if our back up Eddie Lack can shoulder the burden.

Huge loss. Did anyone see Buffalo's winning goal last night? It made national news. The Phoenix goalie wound up with the puck in the back of his pants after it was in mid air in OT. He then skated into his own net and the Sabres were awarded the win. About the only way we can win these days. Tick tock. Cannot wait to cash in those 17 number one and two picks.

Bong-Man Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 It's about 15 degrees out, and I'm sitting on the couch watching 20,000 people sitting outside at Comerica Park watching a reunion game between the Red Wings & the Maple Leafs.

zepscoda Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 What say ye about the snub of Bobby Ryan? Here some good analysis, and they made a good point on the perception on being snubbed, it's not about putting all the best players out there, ie an all star team, but it's about putting the best collection of talent that will work together as a team.

To me their take is insignificant. They do not justify it and the dude on the far right says he should have been picked. But you cannot make everyone happy and Team Canada likely has more complaints as they have more depth. Not as in the past when we could not even come close to their talent level, but still, they do have more quality players and probably always will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ally Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 I think your boys will win tonight. We're not quite at at he Kings level Rick. I think we can be but, we're also very close to the last hurrah with the core of this group. I'm sure the Canuck ney sayer's will be happy about that but I still feel, providing we're healthy come the end of the regular season, we've got the body's to get it done in the playoff's. Personally, I'd be happy if one of the Sedin's stuffed his fist down Brad Marchant's throat but hey, that's just me ! Call me bitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
