LA Kings Thread '14-'15

Mitchell signs with Florida

Enjoying retirement in Florida early making 8+m over 2 seasons. Not bad

 

And no state income tax.

gonna miss him an awful lot. 

 

Kings also signed a pair of free agents. definitely second tier players, one from the ave and one from the blues. don't remember either of their names.

In the summer of 2012, The NHL Network filmed various Kings taking The Cup to their hometowns.  It was amazing.  Most of those guys come from such small proud towns. 

 

I hope they do the same in 2014.

they played those 'day with the cup' videos on Kings vision. they were so much fun to watch. i wish there was a way to buy them on dvd.

 

i'm really looking forward to seeing the videos they make this summer.  has to be so much fun to take the cup home and to your home rink from when you grew up and share it with the people who helped you on your way.

 

what would you do with the cup if you had it for a day?

The way he stepped up in the Anaheim series was huge.

Hopefully he takes another step this off season/season.

Amazing video as always by jmsalsa. If you haven't seen his 2012 videos you need to stop what you are doing and watch those too.

[nando714]

His vids are epic

The job is wide open for him with the loss of willie Mitchell.

I'm still on such a high from last season.  Could it be that the team peaked and that it won't ever be as good as this?  2 Cups in 3 years will be tough to top.

 

It's kind of is strange to think that being a Kings fan may never be better than right now.  The epic comeback against The Sharks, beating up on The Quackers who didn't even show up for

game 7 on THEIR OWN HOME ICE?  Heck, the season was already a rousing success just based on the first two rounds.  The rest was gravy -- served, of course from The Stanley Cup. 

 

 

Let's hope for more glory, certainly, but I couldn't feel better than I do right now. GKG.

The Stanley Cup Championship DVD comes out next week!

 

if you follow any of the Kings sites on Facebook, they've been showing a few clips this week. great stuff!

[Thomas]

You know what's awesome? Being able to use the adjective "the first" when talking about Cups.

[Thomas]

Kings 3 years/5.85 milion (1.95 AAV)

 

Not a flashy deal but a solid move considering King's improved performance.

[gotbeer]

Did Ticketmaster spoil details for Sharks, Kings NHL Stadium Series game?

[Punk]

Interesting.

LOL at the Sens being hated anywhere in America.

[Thomas]

We hate the Bruins in NM? /shrug

 

Man Texas just doesn't like Anaheim.

The list:
