I wish I could be a positive thinker...

[USCKingsFan31]

I wish I could be happy with a top defensive prospect and overlook the fact that we just missed out on our own

Sundin
Modano
Nash
Kovalchuk
Lecavlier
Crosby
Ovechkin
Thornton
Kane

The kind of guy that you can't sign because he stays with the team that drafted him for his career, because he puts fans in the seats and is an absolute franchise player.

"Great another thread like this"... whatever. I'm heartbroken. Ducks winning the cup and now this.

[HeShootsNScores]

Anze Kopitar.

[colorfinger]

Kopitar

[The Natural]

Cry cry, Pout pout

[ShattStar03]

I'm in totally agreement...

I picked a ****ed up team to be loyal to.. Pretty damn discouraging..

[quix]

Patrick O'Sullivan
Dustin Brown
Alexander Frolov
Jack Johnson
Jonathan Bernier
Erik Ersberg
Teddy Purcell
Brian Boyle

... Just to name a few.

If that doesn't give you a semi, I don't know what will.

[Bogey Man]

There's a team in the playoffs this season with a pretty much nameless bunch of forwards but a backline of great young defensemen.

Name that team.

Now think of a team like that with forwards like Kopitar, Brown, Frolov, O'Sullivan, etc.

[236nOT]

Nashville has some good forwards.


Let's think long term. In order to win the Stanley Cup you have to beat the best teams. The best team in the near future should be Pittsburgh.

The Kings were never going to beat Pittsburgh by outscoring them, Stamkos or no Stamkos. The only hope of the Kings beating the Pens in the 2011 finals is to be deeper and have better defensemen.

Between Johnson, Hickey and Bogosian, the Kings should have a chance. Plus, the second pick won't get a ridiculous financial package, so the Kings should have plenty of money to keep all the young player we have now.
