I’m not arguing the entertainment value of the on-ice product in a vacuum.

Those teams always had some sort of beacon of hope to focus on, where they punched above their weight class on occasion, whereas this current iteration has nearly nothing. This is an overpaid, underachieving, pit of misery to watch.

Yeah, they definitely punched above their weight in the form of Raitis Ivanan and Kip Brennan.
Raitis had that real scary look when he was about to punch your face.

In reflection I think Levy was playing the Super Troopers “meow” game with “Faber”



It’s true. Wild are getting a free pass for being as fun to watch as paint dry because the Kings are as fun to watch as watching grass grow. Not in vogue to complain about Minnesota though, they’re currently even more irrelevant than us, we are at least some Canadian teams colostomy bag for another week.

"chicken flavored ramen" ?

Would have been the highlight of the season this year.

It's a shame we got rid of Ivanans and replaced him with the human punching bag that was Kevin Westgarth.

It was always funny to me that the Kings somehow managed to turn two Princeton graduates into NHL players that got punched for a living in Parros and Westgarth.
