You only hear that from San Jose fans who think making the playoffs 500 years in a row and winning f***ing nothing is “success”.

Year in year out competitiveness is underrated. Easy to laugh because we saw the Cup, and they went through SJ once to do it. There aren't that many teams, especially with 26, 28, 30, 32 teams, that are in the conversation every year for a decade and a half. That's just simply not nothing. When you see how the vets on the Kings have just not given a damn after winning, to keep coming back after losing is damn impressive.

Not really, that's the flipside; it's easy to stay hungry when you haven't won.

Not that being good for a long time isn't impressive. there just aren't many championship teams that simply stayed that good and for good reason, winning takes a lot out of you.


I remember playing the NHL games, I'd deliberately commit penalties when losing this bad.

Seriously, just run around headhunting after the whistle :laugh:

I’d say it’s harder to stay hungry after you’ve won. Either way I don’t consider never winning success, don’t care how close they got.

Can the Vilardi people plz step up and say he's not a centre but RWinger already...Will enjoy seeing Turcotte's speed rather than a slow plodding Vilardi

I mean at least put AK34 in the game so we can have someone to watch win or lose.

I think it's important that they show improvement this year but if they don't it's not the end of the world because yay lottery picks and then TM would have to be on thin ice.

however, it's a little worrisome that basically every King that left is thriving--at some point, you have to question what's in the air. Muzzin in TO, Martinez in Vegas. Even Forbort and Lewis. TT was leading the league in goal scoring last I looked. Van sucks but Pearson is crushing it. Obviously those guys are better and more experienced than the Amadios of the world, but Martinez could barely hang on 2nd pairing here, for example. Who's next?

Yeah, Forbort led the Jets in ice time last night and he doesn't even play on the PP.

Apparently so does losing. There aren't many teams doing what the Sharks did either.
