The day-to-day operations of an NHL team go far beyond what you see on FSN.

If theres one thing i hate more than the ducks its the constant excuses that people make about the kings. People who say the kings are rebuilding are idiots! They are alraedy rebuilt we have players like cammy, fro, kopi, brown, osullivan, handzus, jmfj, visnovsky, etc... Our only problem is obviously the coaching staff *looks at crawford*. Rebuilding has already happened, now its a matter of if the Kings can step up and become playoff material, because with offensive talent, and an average defense like ours we should be able to make the playoffs!

So basically, the rest of the league has gotten better than the Kings. But you keep holding onto that two point improvement! I'm sure they can keep it up and get above .500 before Kopitar retires.

So because the rest of the league sucked more last year that means the Kings were better? This team has won more games, period. Just because other teams have ALSO improved does not somehow negate the Kings' improvement. I've been looking for a new place to stock up on crazy. It seems like you've got a good connection...

Leave the insults to the professionals son, you suck at it.
