Like I said, if they actually started at 8 or a little before (anywhere between 7-8), hell just 7:45 would make a difference, the game would've been over by 11.

 

Do you realize how difficult it would be for people to get to the Staples Center in time for a 7:45 puck drop?

No different than taking off early from work and rushing at 5 pm drop (8pm EST). It's just a 15 minute difference. The 8 pm games, which really start at 8:30, is too late. If they had the puck drop at 7:45, instead of 8:30, it would be better for everyone.

Puck didn't drop at 5 though like you said. That 30 minute difference is huge when it's a city that size. It would be better for you and anyone else who can't stay up till 11:15. It would be hell for the actual Kings fans attending the game.

Matt Cullen and Aaron Ward followed the money to the Rangers after the cup. Recchi and Weight were acquired during the season and were never going to be more than rentals. The rest played at least two more years before leaving the Canes?

Also everyone bolded played at least two years for the canes after the cup year

(Maybe we should start a new thread? I dont want to keep derailing this one but I kind of wanted to point this out.)

I'm aware but you can't lose 5 guys that were integral to your team winning the Stanley Cup and expect to be good next year.

That team had no Anze Kopitar, Marian Gaborik, Jonathan Toews, Patrick Kane, or Patrick Sharp.

It was just a top to bottom solid roster and when you start trying to plug and replace players it's going to hurt your team.

      Chiefs vs Panthers

      By strato · Posted

      For the silly people that worship her it will be that.  The Coleman 'legend' thing, they did that with another fairly average player that was here and I sort of mocked or questioned the 'legend' status. Instantly caught crap for insulting someone's favorite Panther. So okay, Kurt Coleman is a Legend.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      You allow him to compete--you all are talking as if I am proposing making him the starter. Give him a new coach, new weapons, good OL, etc. and see what happens. You are saying, "Well Damn.  It did not work for 3 guys..."  Right now, our C is injured, we lost our top 2 WRs.  Better question:  If you need a QB, Why would you not take a chance on bringing in a QB who was a former first rounder, a good arm, intelligence, mobility, youth, etc.  and see how he does out of NY--with a better OL, better running game, better receivers.  I am not saying give him a 10-year contract, I am saying give him a chance. You act like there is no improvement on offense here--it was a 2 year process, and next year is year 2.  To me, how can you sit there with Bryce and an opportunity to sign a veteran QB on the cheap comes available and you say--"Not us. We're good.  We are waiting for Patrick Mahommes."  Jone's problem is obviously mental--and he has little support.  Why is this so frigging hard to comprehend.  It is called "bottom fishing" and it is better than sitting in the boat.

      Predictions for Brooks debut

      I think we're going to fall from behind quite early and be forced to abandon the run game.  3 rushes -2 yards 1 catch -10 yards
