DeNiro Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 I'm not even slightly bitter honestly. I'm happy for them. The emotion gives me chills. But it's nothing compared to how friggin amazing it would be if it was the Canucks standing there hoisting the cup. I have some envy, for sure. But I'm not bitter, they deserve it and right now, we dont. It's not about being bitter towards them. It's about being bitter about the Canucks squandering opportunities to win the cup over the years and wondering what if. But I guess the dream continues.

BI3KSA- Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 What part of I live here don't you get. Yeah, so I'm ignorant talking about where I live... that's a good one. I hadn't seen you state you actually lived there until now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1-d Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 The KIngs core is getting old and stale. Kopitar - one goal in 18 games. Richards - relegated to the fourth line. Willie - can't have that many more miles in that punished body of his. Doughty - is an annoying whiner. Why wait? Start the rebuild now. Adding to your list... Quick - a bitch pretending to be a tough guy Brown - king rat of rats; brad marchand 2.0 Nolan, King, Clifford - freakin' freaks Garborik - think he drank from the fountain of youth? Watch him signing a new fat contract with a lesser team in the off season and then fizzling into retirement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mustapha Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 People just find any reason they can to be bitter, hateful and jealous instead of just appreciating the emotion and passion of the moment and the quality hockey LA plays. So basically you are saying 'haters gonna hate' I think if you are invested emotionally in a team, it's acceptable to be annoyed if a rival team wins something major like a championship. (Or two championships in three seasons) I have thought a lot about it, and I think it's easier to assemble a championship team in the US. Players who play in Canada are under so much scrutiny from media and fans, it makes it much harder to attract quality players and for them to succeed long term. Even in American Original Six markets, there are other sports that take precedence over hockey. Ironically, passion and fervor for Canadian teams does seem to have an effect on reducing their chances of winning championships. I mean, Montreal managed to get to round 3 and Vanek (who was an acquisition who never asked to go to Montreal) got crucified and mocked by the media (Thomas "Vanish") for underperforming. Do you think he would want to play for them again given the chance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownky Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Sour grapes for Apples? Awwwwww.NYR were out of their depth here. Any other goalie for NYR and this was a nasty sweep.LA had a 48 shot advantage over only 5 games. And that's not counting blocks or misses, that's shots on target.And you're still thinking AV wasn't out of his league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Vintage Canuck- Posted June 14, 2014 Author Share Posted June 14, 2014 Bad news for the Canucks - the Kings can easily return essentially their entire team again next year. http://www.capgeek.com/armchair-gm/roster/23785 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BI3KSA- Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 So basically you are saying 'haters gonna hate' Thats definitely not what I was saying. "Haters gonna hate" is like a defense phrase for people getting "hated" on. I said exactly what I meant. That people find a reason to be hateful towards teams who beat us/are better than us. Edit: I like your profile pic, Hamburgler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostsof1915 Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 That's great to see. Mitchell and the Nolan Family. I bet Mitchell will be a coach someday in the NHL. He's so well spoken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldnews Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Congrats to L.A. Can't really say I like them, but at the same time, there are a lot of things about that club that are hard not to like. Gotta hand it to players like Greene, Stoll, Mitchell, Williams - who I think make the difference in the end. They're just relentless and have the collective mindset of champions.

DeNiro Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Jonathon Quick - 72nd overall Anze Kopitar - 11th overall Dustin Brown - 13th overall Drew Doughty - 2nd overall Tyler Toffoli - 47th overall Tanner Pearson - 30th overall Slava Voynov - 32nd overall Trevor Lewis - 17th overall Kyle Clifford - 35th overall Alec Martinez - 95th overall Dwight King - 109th overall Jordan Nolan - 186th overall The answer is quite simple. Draft and develop your own players and teach them to play the right way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's ok. I don't really like the Kings that much, and I hate seeing Kopitar lift the Cup because I was one of those fans who wanted the Canucks to draft him 9 years ago. Although if you really want to see hate on this board, science help us if the Flames win another championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
