GO KINGS GO
You do a great job. Wish you covered our Mammoth.
Older defencemen, 👍🏼
Younger forwards Rock!
The kings management sucks
LA isn’t Palm Springs , older players shouldn’t come to LA to retire
So oldest roster and no chance to win a cup. Management hates the fans
They'll try a rebuild in a few years. When all the season seat holders age out and they can't sell out the arena.
Glad you put Ziggy in there. He wasn't with the Kings that long, but the guy was amazing while he was with LA.
I certainly would've understood if you would've skipped him, but personally he was one of my favorites.
Best starting lineup of all time for Kings. Gretzky, Dionne, Robitaille, Doughty, Blake and Quick. Behind the bench, Sutter.
No being the oldest team in NHL is indication needed to trade Drew Kopitar as not going to win. Edmonton won last Stanley Cup after fleeced LAK in Wayne trade like 2 years later maybe in 1990. Then Mark Messier wins in 94 as Wayne ruined hockey. His wife got hit by puck resulting in those horrible black nets. Rich entitled people who belong at home managed to ruin watching hockey before the digital ads. I think just trade Perry for 2nd Round pick again is worth bringing him back. When 4 teams in Pacific are drafting in top 7 its a sign. More worried how goalies will play thinking team is set at being Mediocre. Which to me is worse than being bad or good. They draft badly in 1st round along with 2nd too.
