I believe any playoff time gets him on the Cup. There is a minimum number of regular season games if you don't play in the playoffs.
His name will be on the Cup. And let's face it, he played well for them when he was in there. He was forced out of town by the coaching staff who didn't like that a guy that big was more aggressive. Bottom line is he is a good serviceable NHLer, but was never going to live up to expectations. We could have used him last year.
I am happy for Sarge. He'll be back in the NHL full-time next year with someone.

I believe the way it works is that you need to play 41 regular season games or 1 finals game to automatically get your name on the cup. But I think teams are allowed to make cases for others who don't meet that criteria. He played 7 playoff games so far, 1 game against the Hawks and the other 6 against the Ducks I believe. Is that enough for the Kings to want to try to get his name added and even if they do will whoever makes that decision agree? I have no idea but I think the case could be made they may not have even gotten passed the Ducks without his contribution.

Yeah but those are almost every time due to injuries. It's kind of different when player just isn't good enough to get dressed for that certain team when they are healthy enough.
They could make a case for it, but even if they did i highly doubt it will pass.
OT: Sucks for Matt Frattin that he got traded after playing 40 regular season games with the Kings.
I'm not saying you are likely correct or incorrect because I have no idea but does anyone have a list of all the players who have not met the current criteria but got their names on the cup anyway? I would doubt it would be possible to find out who a case was made for but was rejected by the powers that be.

I can't wait for Willie Mitchell to stub his toe, Jeff Schultz to dress for game 4, and then Schultzie to score the cup clinching OTGWG.

Green for Selke
Yeah hard to believe something like this could get in the way of all the other riveting discussions currently going on on this board...

Id take him back if it meant Mike Green reverting to form. Perhaps they were meant for each other

Isn't it? He will have had the "last laugh" against us. I personally never hated the guy, but wanted someone who contributed more.

To be fair, Dubi on CBus pulled off a nasty move against a Pens defender that led to a late goal this postseason. He's got hands - Sarge thought he was going up the boards! Once he went through him, it didn't matter that Sarge blew a tire.

At his first few games back in 2008, my then 4 year old son asked why #55 was so slow, played scared, and couldn't pass the puck very well. My brother and I knew that Schultz sucked, and it was obvious to even a 4 1/2 year old. Brandon Dubinsky opened even more eyes later in the playoffs. He is not an NHL regular unless he is surrounded by great players and sheltered.

Ahhh Kegger you stole my thunder I was going to say maybe we bring him back as an assistant one day It was such a random thought I didn't bother.
Of all the players on our roster, I thought it most bizarre of Bruce to label Sarge fearless. On a team ft. Ovi Brash Erskine Bradley etc.
