I still don't know why they aren't more popular? There are a lot of normal people in or around LA. Not just people in showbiz. Lakers were pretty popular. Hockey just isn't big or sports in general?

Sports teams draw, but there is so much to do - in LA, and Miami, and other glamorous warm weather cities - that they don't go crazy over them like we do here,mor in the cold cities of the northeast.

Plus - without a good public transportation system, how would 1,000,000 people get to a parade?

Don't forget - no NFL team in LA - and no one seems to be pining for one.

I think this thread needs a "Babe of the day" type of thing. Need to set up a system that gets a rotation going. When it's your day, you have to post a pic of your Babe of the Day.

Someone get on that.

Kings are actually very popular in LA and do sell out or are near capacity quite often.....they also compete against the ducks as well.

Safe travels.

Ridiculous trade proposals will likely be at your fingertips when you touch down.

That's what the LA fans were saying. They have other things to do unlike us yeah the fact that they don't have a big need for the NFL says a lot. I can see your reason for the parade, but their overall ratings aren't that great, either. This is a very good team and fun to watch (in the playoffs) I hope more people jump on the bandwagon

No where in your proposals are you asking the Islanders to retain at least half of Frans' cap hit. This is an essential component for all proposals meatball or otherwise.

It won't work for more than a season. Schenn is a RFA and Kadri has one year left on his deal. Both will want more than 3 per.

And your 3rd line will kill Q.

I'm sure a part of it is the problem Florida teams have, so many other things to do, competing for time and money, hockey in a warm climate, etc. Throw in that the L.A. fans are notorious for leaving early in every sport because of the traffic, I'm sure there are a lot of things.

Traffic sure does suck there no doubt about it

It may be the worst now, but remember seeing on the news a few years back top 3 in order for worst traffic:

1) Seattle
2) LA
3) Chicago

Later. Try thinking of trades where the Hawks give away 1st liners for 4th line plugs while you are up there.

Damn. That is the problem trading for younger players that have already been in the league awhile. But that is who I would want. Because you won't suffer now because they have expeerience and are young enough to help for a long time. We would have to lose a guy like bickell then or trade one of them to re-load I did think it would be hard to fit all that talent in

Extremely well said. Stay tuned. It will soon get worse. Name calling is the next logical phase, followed by a few banishments
