Thanks Stilts and Mario, It's appropriate that the "other leagues" suddenly notice our team...as if...the curse of montreal on all of them!!! I couldn't be more thrilled that articles on our Kings are drying up and the absolute morons who think we are their garbage can for trades like the bulin swamp )ya, right) are finally disappearing back into their armchairs. The less said about our guys, the better! It's fun to have a meeting place to talk, but the SI jinx is just sitting there waiting for it's next victim-let's not have it upon us anymore! As already mentioned, NO PRESSURE ON OUR GUYS/NOTHING TO LOSE. I can't imagine a better scenario...and as Mario said, the caps fans will crawl back into their toilet as soon as the Caps slip back into anonymity...they always have and will. You'd think with all the phony money they're printing there, the Caps could fill their seats every night? LOL And, ya, to bad for the Blues...my heart just bleeds for them...but Andy knows all about having teams decimated by injuries...I think a record was set while he coached our Kings...a who's who of the NHL way back when. Ya know, I was thrilled for the Mighty Ducks when they won the Stanley Cup, but I had no idea what a bunch of jerk-off fans they had. I guess they bought into the "man-made" rivalry crap. So remember the arrogance you folks created when the Kings reach the level the Ducks once had...of course, the CAP will take care of that situation soon enough...in fact, it's already begun to eat away at them. So keep that oxygen mask handy mike m...you'll need it when you lose both your GM and that top notch rating. Besides, the seats suck at the duck pond! Meanwhile, good luck to Stoll and Greene. I think it will be fun having some guys fresh in from Edmonton getting a chance to experience perfect weather and a city that is full of life and awesome beaches. just hope they don't forget about playing hockey LOL GO Kings!

Dean Sucks He moved Lubo for 2 simple reasons to cut pay roll and Lubo had a full no trade clasue kick in on July 1 of this year and he did not want to be on the hook for 7 mill for the next 4 years PLAIN AND SIMPLE John Tavaras start house hunting in the South bay Now FIRE DEAN AEG PLEASE SELL THE TEAM TO A OWNER WHO CARES

Stoll will earn that contract in front of his girly friend, and Greener is tough as nails.... good trade for both teams, just hope Lubo can still carry that puck...............................

MARIO SANCHEZ. I think we learned in kindergarten that words at the beginning of the sentence and proper nouns start with capital letters. Everything else is lower case. And I doubt Dean Lombardi will read your post. Notice how D and L are capitalized. Speaking of capitilization GO CAPITALS!!

Aside from money matters, Blake and Visnovsky would have been excellent groomers for our young defense. The Kings need a veteran D-man to take Johnson, Hickey, Doughty and Teubert under his wing and show them the way.

HEY LAKINGS, YOU FORGOT TO MENTION THAT OUR OWNERSHIP IS OUT OF JAIL AND NOT IN IT... SORRY QUACK BUT IT'S TRUE!!!!

$3.6 A SEASON OVER THE NEXT 4. NOT A BAD MOVE BY DEAN, ALSO THIS LOCKS HIM IN FOR THE NEXT FOUR. DON'T THINK THE KINGS ARE IN THE WORKS TO GET INTO THE PLAYOFFS THIS YEAR. BUT MAYBE JUST MAYBE NEXT YEAR. WITH STOLL IN PLACE TO COVER FOR CAMMY WHO WANTED 6 MILLION A YEAR. NOT BAD. PLUS WE ALSO GOT GREENE FOR LUBO... YES LUBO WAS A BELOVED KING AND A PROVEN VETERAN. HOWEVER THIS IS A BUSINESS DO YOU HONESTLY THINK DEAN WANTED TO GET RID OF LUBO HIS ONLY AND LAST VETERAN ON THE BLUE LINE. DON'T THINK SO. BUT HOCKEY IS ALWAYS TICKING IN THIS MANS HEAD. HE EATS, BREATHS AND SLEEPS HOCKEY. IF HIS WIFE IS OK WITH THAT THEN MAYBE JUST MAYBE KINGS FAN SHOULD GIVE HIM A CHANCE AS MANAGEMENT HAS. QUESTION SHOULD NOT BE DID HE OVER PAY HIM, RATHER THAN WHY HAVEN'T YOU PAID SULLY WHAT HE IS DUE? THE KINGS WENT YOUNG ON US (the fans) BUT THEN AGAIN SO DID THE PENGUINS A FEW YEARS BACK AND THEY HAD BACK TO BACK SEASONS GETTING HIGH PICKS IN THE DRAFT. SOON AFTER THAT THEY MADE THE PLAYOFFS. LOST AND THEN ONE MORE YEARS OLDER AND A BIT MORE MATURE GUESS WHAT THEY TOOK THE MIGHTY REDWINGS TO THE LIMIT. NOW IF THE KINGS CAN DO SO FROM WITH IN. LIKE DEAN IS DOING I WOULD JUST SIT BACK AND ENJOY THE ENERGY THE KIDS WILL BRING TO STAPLES CENTER THIS YEAR. YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER THEY ALL KNOW THEY HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE AND EVERYTHING TO GAIN. FROM PLAYING TIME TO CONTRACT EXTENSSIONS... END OF STORY AND NOW DEAN IF YOU READ THIS GET ON THE BALL AND SIGN THOSE THAT ARE LEFT BEFORE THEY GET AWAY...

Trading away Visnovsky was a mistake , he was a proven 50-60 point getter and one of the best puckhandling defenseman in the league . Letting Blake go was another goof . Are the Kings really serious about making the playoffs this year ? Thank God we always follow the Ducks which will have a strong team again this year.

How confusing it'll be when LA plays Phoenix, and Jarrett Stoll is playing against Jared Staal!

Dave (Posted 2008-09-05 00:34:58)
Maha you don't know what you're talking about. Edmonton has a lot of players who are paid more than $14M over 4 years. They also have a multi-billionaire owner

A bit pricey but could really payoff.

I think Stoll is capable of more than what he has accomplished. He's only making $100,000/season than Jeff Finger, I'd take the Stoll contract over that any day of the week!

daniel (Posted 2008-09-04 20:13:24)
they have a good signing in stoll who will definetly help on the powerplay point or as a center. glad they signed him to four years and that makes them a little closer to the cap minimum. now all we need is O'Sullivan to come around. i'm hoping a 4 year maybe 5 year deal with him also.
