Thank you for everything. One of the toughest players in Kings history and a large catalyst for the culture change. I'm sorry you were treated so poorly toward the end of your time as a King. You'll always be remembered as a key piece that brought a Stanley Cup to LA!

Thanks for everything Matt! ****ing Viking...

Still don't get this move to save peanuts this year and then cost us next year on top of that. Maybe they're doing him a solid since he doesn't figure into our plans and wouldn't actually play here this year? one could only hope...

Hope we can find another warrior like him to anchor our 3rd pair for the next decade.
Happy retirement Greener

Sportsnet reporting he'll get a front office deal with LA.

Thanks for everything Greener.

Sportsnet reporting he'll get a front office deal with LA.

Thanks for everything Greener.

Glad to hear he's sticking around. Seems to be very popular with his teammates, and he was one of the most selfless players who sacrificed his body to help the team. Hope he enjoys a successful post playing career with the organization.

ty for everything Matt

 

[Ollie Weeks]

Thanks, Matt. You were a beauty.

 

[Fat Elvis]

Dude will make an excellent coach. Loved him as a player, always gave 100%. His reaction to a goal he scored (may have been his last) was priceless. Just shrugged his shoulders almost apologetically, true gamer.

Goodbye sweet prince, welcome to the front office.

Thanks for being a warrior. Two cups, spilled blood and a great teammate. I really hope the front office move is true. Congrats on a great career.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Man, what a beauty. Hope that report that he's sticking around is true. Really one of the guys who laid it all on the line for this org. We were never going to 'outskill' the top teams, and he was emblematic of the group of guys who played with enough heart to overcome that--Regehr, Mitchell, Greene, so many guys who ground out their last hockey years beating the snot out of the opposition en route to success. Thanks for everything, Greener!

 

[kingsholygrail]

Gonna miss the guy. Seemed like a very positive force in the lockerroom. Hope the front office speculation is true.

 

[SettlementRichie10]

The picture of Quick gawking at Greene's busted, bloody forehead is one of the most iconic images in Kings history. Really signified a culture change in the team and organization as they were ramping up toward contender status.

Hope Greener sticks around the front office until he's an old man.

 

[Sacha Baron Corbin]

Dude was an absolute warrior and is just a great guy in general. He'll be behind and NHL bench one day

 

[CTKingsFan]

One of my favorite Kings! Blood, sweat, but no tears, too tough type of guy!

Hope he sticks around in a fo job. Perhaps the eye in the sky spot could be for him. Keep him in the locker room and around the team.

 

[KingTrouty]

Thanks for everything, Matt!! As another posted, hope we're able to replace a warrior like you

 

[Fishhead]

He blocked pucks with his face. He got hit by a car, then suited up. He was intimidating on the ice, and silly off of it. Hardworking and humble. He epitomized the culture change that brought cups to LA.

So glad he's sticking around, now we have a warrior in the front office.

 

[AlphaBravo]

Maybe Blake as a deal in works if he needs Greene's cap space?

 

[BigKing]

Should go down as one of the greatest Kings of all-time from those of us that were there from start to finish.

Before I get piled on, I don't mean greatest in term of skill but just for his role in leadership, the example he set and for his extreme likeability. Belongs in that Wells/McSorley/Lappy category while being elevated due to the two Cups.

 

[goosh]

Love you now and forever Greener. Thanks for setting the bar.

These posts sound like someone who just passed away. All compliments for a guy who was probably blasted on this forum more than anyone except D. Brown.
