They handed out some really long contracts and stopped drafting well after those cups. Could get ugly.I especially like the part where Quick swings his stick out of frustration at an opposing forward behind the net, leaving him susceptible to the perfectly executed cross-ice pass that leads to a goal.

I don't think Rob Blake has a clue what to do
I don't see them being worse than Detroit or Ottawa over the whole season, but crazier things have happened.Yep, the only thing that scares me is that the Kings actually look like a player for Hughes/Lafreniere over the next couple seasons. I do not want them ending up with a top talent. Otherwise, they look old, tired and stale.
I love that Robitaille has seemingly orchestrated his own Boys Club up the 5. Blake seems to be struggling to get acclimated in every other area that's not signing high-profile college free agents; I would have thought he would have at least re-tooled and moved some of the guys from their Cup run out.
Is Kopitar hurt?While I normally enjoy watching the Kings lose, last night their performance was so pathetic that I eventually turned off the game. I think that the fans who paid money to see that game should get their money back. That was not professional hockey. I expect in the long run that the Kings will be significantly better than what they showed last night. But the way they played without Kopitar made me feel very much better about the way that the Ducks have played without Getzlaf
I think it was reported he felt sick and might be in next game. Can`t confirm thoIs Kopitar hurt?
That he's out of the frying pan and into the friar? I hate myself for making this pun.What am I missing with Tuch?
Ouch, that was bad.That he's out of the frying pan and into the friar? I hate myself for making this pun.

I hold a grudge on the Oilers since Brian Burke's days, when even while sucking, Edmonton fans were so arrogant to say that their management was bright and they were going to have a great future, trusting completely Kevin Lowe and pissing on BB... LMAO! The Schultz backstabbing signing and subsequent fiasco was the cherry on top.
Edit: BM for BB, was I drunk?
Vegas seemingly have a model of signing young RFA's to expensive deals in the present time but hoping the young players develop enough that it will be cheap in 3-4 years time. The bridge deal seems completely out of fashion right now - even for RFA's that aren't close to being top young players, pretty strange if you ask me.What am I missing with Tuch?
As you should.That he's out of the frying pan and into the friar? I hate myself for making this pun.
And merry Christmas, mr. Bugg.Don't forget the many summers where they were set to leapfrog the Ducks in the Pacific.
