Have already downloaded the game, and have been rewatching the GW goal repeatedly. Love seeing all the Oilers fans throw their hands in the air in disbelief at moment the goal is scored. Is fun watching the instant fan reaction in the stands while the broadcast team scrolls through the various...

There's also a decent one on The Night Stalker, Richard Ramirez. If you're old enough to remember that summer, and how he had all of SoCal on edge. One of his victims was a couple that lived a few doors down the street from a friend of mine in Diamond Bar. I specifically remember watching the...

I believe that was the series that ESPN produced 5(?) years ago....I watched it then, and the security cam footage of him storming into the hotel to retrieve his stolen memorabilia was gripping. I actually worked at a bank in Rialto that Rodney King came in occasionally per the other Bankers...

Englund MUST fight someone (anyone) within the first 5 min as well, just to say the Kings aren't going away.

Team simply has no balls...

Think Futa working in tandem with Yanetti kept Yank's perspective more in check, maybe? But the general philosophy (which comes from Blake's "leadership") is the reasoning behind players like Kupari, Turcotte, Fagemo, Kaliyev have been chosen over grittier, thicker more character-type prospects...

Yep, Blake took his word over Yanetti & Co. (they were pushing for Zegras - which wouldn't have been better), which has led me to believe that Blake's philosophy to identify certain types of players in the draft has caused the team to Butt-F*** the draft repeatedly since Blake took over...

Sadly, I've given up having faith in any sentiment that Granato brings to the table with regards to the Kings. He's Blake's boy, so your concern over sentimentality persuading his decision is logical. Ever since his voice was the determining factor when came to drafting Turcotte, coupled with...

At this point I'm hoping Jon Hovan is the one escorting him (Blake) & Yank out the door, only for Hovan to find out the door was locked behind him leaving him out there with them....

Just thought I'd add this on this thread.... Is the "anniversary" of JMFJ debuting at Staples years ago. I remember him getting upended vividly, and should have been Clue #1 as to what type of player he was...enjoy? https://www.instagram.com/reel/C5GuzvxJPjj/?igsh=NzBmMjdhZWRiYQ==

I feel your pain with regards to something on the docket every night of the week, seemingly. I only have one daughter, but she is on 2 separate club soccer teams currently, as well as co-captaining her 8th grade school soccer team. Has practice M-Th nights for the clubs, on top of the...

Nice to see them get a little bit of revenge against the team that more or less derailed their season. If they could have taken Anders Lee out like he did Gavy & the slewfoot on Kaliyev, would have been an added + , but a win is a win...

Starting with the 2001 Draft, you can look back and see that the scouting department Taylor had in place for the Kings (Al Murray) really wasn't up to par on making selections. But 2003-2005, when compared to the overall depth of those specific drafts, looks especially bad. While the Kings did...

https://www.instagram.com/reel/C4QuXHTRg6z/?igsh=NzBmMjdhZWRiYQ== There is a Kings History page on the 'Gram, and posts a regular "This Date in Kings History" moment. Got a chuckle out of this one, as turned out to be one bomb of a trade. Anson scored one measly assist for his time here. Was...

Actually, Roy was a Deano pick in 2015 (nitpicking) The 2019 Draft in hindsight was a complete screw up. Maybe Turcotte, if he can stay healthy, might become serviceable, but rom a 5OA to not have an impact is embarrassing. The 2018 Draft didn't help either. Taking Kupari, who sure can skate...

Kuznetsov was more or less a throw in for the Schneider trade. If I recall correctly, think Schneider was going to be a UFA at the end of 2003, and probably had priced himself out of the self-imposed salary cap the Kings operated under during that period. Think Taylor was trying to model the...

Kelly Buchberger, while towards the twilight of his career, was a decent player. Wasn't flashy, just showed up every day, and was willing to drop the gloves when needed. Charlie Huddy......this video (that Puck found if I recall)....says it all

His coaching is only good enough to a point, per history. Wasn't entirely his fault, but wasn't going to take them much farther. Luc & Blake should be next. Move Luc to some ambassadorship role, or back to the business side of the club, so he still a part. But Blake & his aura over this club...

Jere Karalahti Mr. Heroin himself. Had one decent stretch in late 2001 and into the series against Detroit. Then fell off the wagon, and was never seen again. Did continue to play professionally in Europe into 2016 according to hockeydb.com

Feel if this team fails to make the playoffs, let alone win 1 round, Blake's tenure should be heavily scrutinized by the organization, media, etc. From poor overall drafts (considering their drafting positions - and lofty analysis of organizational pipeline quality), to splash trades/signings...

They're done. Great job Blake & Robitaille

Aki-Petteri Berg. Was early in the Al Murray, Director of Scouting tenure. 3OA pick in 1995, and was supposed to be a cornerstone Defenseman for the franchise. Was a complete waste of space.

I remember watching his first game (I think), and all he could do was barely skate a straight line, right through the middle of the ice. Was pretty obvious he was learning to skate on the fly. From the pregame shows back then, they did use him for various comic relief situations. So, seemed...

Don't know what was up with Moore the last 5 min of the entire game....couldn't control a puck to save his life

What the hell kind of D was that?
