Kings Gameday: Go Kings Go




 

I don't really have time to do a big update because hey, I have a job.  (They want me to like, work and stuff.  Dicks, man.)  Anyway, the Kings play Nashville tonight, Fredrik Modin and Jeff Halpern are both playing, I hope Richard Clune fights Jordin Tootoo, go Kings go.

Prediction: Hey, what do you think you're doing?  Get back to work, asshole!

Ducks fans think we’re upset, think about poor Visnovsky. Most of the time if you’re gonna get traded at the deadline, you’re going to a playoff-bound team. Poor guy.

Well, most of the time when you get traded days before your no-trade-clause kicks in, it’s because you’ve done something wrong. Besides, Lubo probably doesn’t even remember that there is a postseason.

Well, they did have a ceremony right before the tournament — honored all the Duck Olympians, including Whitney, plus Grebeshkov, Visnovsky, and some braintrust guys like Kevin Lowe.

Then once the tournament ended they traded away their two Olympic athletes, picked up the worst of Anaheim’s, and for some reason kept the braintrust.

He did do something wrong. He made too much money and then had a sub-par season. Wish he didn’t, as he was my favorite player at the time, but them’s the breaks.

by Nut on Mar 4, 2010 3:57 PM PST up reply actions  

Well…they still didn’t have to lie to him and say he’d never be traded. No one forces you to say stuff like that.

In Dinglebarn We Trust

by Niesy on Mar 4, 2010 4:27 PM PST up reply actions  

Very true. That’s no way to treat a Lubo. But there is no denying he didn’t have a good season the year before he was traded. And I doubt you find very many who don’t think we won that trade.

by Nut on Mar 4, 2010 4:40 PM PST up reply actions  

Oh yeah; I understand why they did it. It’s just…(sob) so hard.

In Dinglebarn We Trust

by Niesy on Mar 4, 2010 5:33 PM PST up reply actions  

They didn't lie to him and say he'd never be traded (unless I'm forgetting something)

They gave him a no-trade, which hadn’t kicked in yet. He’s got an agent to explain what that means, and what might happen if, for example, he sucked for the entire year before the contract took effect. The ironic thing about the Lubo situation is that by sucking he literally made it possible for us to pick Doughty, which is the very thing that made him expendable. There is an alternate reality in which Lombardi does not get Lubo signed early, Lubo has a great year, the Kings don’t finish tied for dead last in the league, but, say, 26th. Lubo and Lombardi don’t agree on a contract and he gets dealt at the deadline, and the Kings pick Pietrangelo with the 4th pick. And Doughty ends up in Atlanta.

Wait till this year.

by Quisp on Mar 4, 2010 8:19 PM PST up reply actions  

There was some interview where Lubo said they did — who knows if that’s true. I’m sure it hurt either way. But yeah, it’s a business, etc. etc.

avoiding both will be tricky

one of vancouver and colorado will be 3rd, and the other will be 4th-7th, but most likely (in my opinion) 5th or 6th. Ideally, vancouver is either 3 or 6, and nashville is 7, and we avoid them. that means we will be tucked into 4 or 5 playing phoenix or colorado. the problem is vancouver. do we root for them to do well, finishing 3rd? but if colorado passes them, we then have to root against Vancouver, to push them down to 6th. just to be safe, i’m going to continue to root for everyone but the kings to lose.

Wait till this year.
