You forgot one:

“Next season, the Kings will win the Stanley Cup, sweep every round, and Anze Kopitar will be a savior. It won’t matter, since they’ll probably move to Kansas City in the offseason.”

Fuck you, Denis Gauthier. You deserved that 5-game suspension.

Dude

Man, I was going to write this EXACT post in September.

Asshole.

Sounds about right, but I’d save the post in case you need to dust it off about a year from now (with a few name edits.) Having been a Kings fan since 1974 I reserve my right to be cynical.

Next season, Derek Armstrong, Kyle Calder and Denis Gauthier won’t be on the team.

I can’t wait to find out who the next generation of scapegoats will be.

Might want to pass this around to others that might need to start looking at “next season”.

Ever get the feeling we are on a collision course with reality?

I would but the Ducks aren’t going to make the playoffs next season either so it wouldn’t help them.

The West Coast is the Best Coast.

Our feel-good pep talk isn’t about next season, it’s about two seasons ago.

But yeah, give it to those Sharks guys at the end of round two.

ha! we are passing up round two this year and going all the way baby!

Ever get the feeling we are on a collision course with reality?

AHA!

So that’s the Sharks’ plan this year. In order to make it to Round 3: just pass up Round 2 altogether.

People who save up for a rainy day are like milk. And milk goes good with cookies, so you should have those people over for cookies.
