Whoever’s bringing up Dustin Brown, the Kings attempted to trade him at the 2012 deadline amid concerns that Richards came in and was splitting the room.

They also fired the coach.

Guy making those calls was very close to being fired. He’s also now working for us.

I've never in my life seen anything as weird as the cult of adoration that has grown in this fanbase over Chris F***ing Pronger. We have dozens and dozens of long-term servants of this organization who actually mattered. Learn your f***ing history.

I rank him lower on my list of franchise dmen because his impact was just f***ing tiny and declining compared to folks like Timonen, Desjardins, Howe, or Watson.

I just want to express my appreciation for off-handedly dismissing @Striiker as "skipper." I hope that one sticks.

You are totally right man...I should have realized you know more about hockey than a guy who coached two different teams to the cup finals.

So you can't answer my question about what he's won?

Is it because he's never won anything?


Pro tip! If you're gonna resort to appeals to authority, you should at least have a basic understanding of that authority.

I was born in 91 and became a fan fairly early on in the Richards/Carter era. So mid to early teens, Smith was still playing for us during my first encounters with the team.

Those five years or so are the only real success and joy I’ve encountered as a fan of this team. I’m 30 now.

So I simultaneously empathize with people like Striiker who have only known a revolving door of crap and am also horrified for them.
