Who scheduled this event opposite the Academy Awards?

Granted, many Kings fans could give a flying V about the awards, let alone tell you what films they were in, but your WIVES will prefer to see what outfit Jessica Biel is wearing rather than count how many teeth Dustin Brown is missing.

Instead of spending $170.00 per couple just to get IN to the event, another 50 to "tip" the Kings and probably another 25 to 50 bucks to buy one of those "mystery envelopes", I have a feeling many will opt to stay at home and watch what witty things will be coming out of Jon Stewart's mouth.

Bad planning dude.

Yeah, bad planning, but I won't be watching the Oscars either.

I saw Juno. It was good. You think that they might ever nominate some movies that people actually went to see.

Small potatoes-people that are diehard enough to still follow this pathetic franchise and attend tip a king no less probably aren't going to care when its scheduled and attend regardless. If it was Scheduled on the super bowl would be one thing but the oscars? Id rather watch I love Lucy reruns.

Even if most Kings fans aren't interested in the Oscars, it's still pretty bad planning. The Oscars are one of the most watched shows of the year and lots of people have parties that night.

Sure the die hards will be there. But if most don't bring their wives because of the Oscars, and others don't bring their kids because the autograph session is from 7-10 on a school night, then they haven't maximized the money they can bring in for their charity.

Stupid, stupid planning.

What next? Are you going to complain about Kings games being scheduled on the same nights as American Idol?

You might as well Tivo the awards as suggested, then you can watch it over and over and over... and keep wishing that they had "Best Casted Extra" category
