The Wilshire store is 3 blocks from my apartment. I can easily walk there. Why does it have to be Derek F'ing Armstrong!?

They should put them in red Staples vests and have them ignore everyone just like real Staples employees.

Fan- Mr. Frolov, can I get you to autograph my jersey?
Fro- Let me see if we have any sharpies in the back (leaves and doesn't come back)

I might just go by the store Armstrong is at to flip him off.

My car got destroyed (dented by idiots on both sides) at the Laperriere signing they had at the Santa Monica store awhile back. Plan on parking on the street guys.

No, I just despise him as a hockey player and every time I see him on the ice I want to cry.

Personally, I separate talent and effort/ego/character when deciding which players to like or not. Armstrong isn't overly talented but is known for being a team 1st guy who won't bitch when given 4th line time. Sit behind the Kings bench one time and tell me who is a more vocal leader than Army. Blake may be the C but he doesn't talk to the team much on the bench other than to his pairing linemate. I may not love the Army skill, but I love the Army character.
