Hey, remember when they called Pittsburgh "Flyers West PA" in 1992 when Rick Tocchet, Kjell Samuelsson, and Ken Wregget won the Cup there like they do with LA and "Flyers West"? No. Because it's fornicating stupid, that's why.

He's the only King I am really rooting for, aside from Hextall. J-Willy already won his Cup with "Flyers South" in 2006.

With a 4-0 lead the fans can just basically count down without any stress. Not that there are many hard core hockey fans there.

Al Michaels is probably the Kings most legit fan.

the devils have been rendered completely useless. amazing that this is the same team that forechecked the flyers into oblivion scoring 5 goals a game.

Me too, but if that's all you're in for, then expect disappointment. Why bother following when you can just latch on every spring and save the embarrassment of the months of September to April when you could be doing other things with the energy spent on griping online?

They always tell us to wave the towels before the network comes back from a commercial break a couple of times in each playoff game. And the video board is constantly exhorting you to MAKE SOME NOISE. All this while playing music so loud you can't hear the crowd anyway. I'd love to go back to the days when you responded to the organ if you cared to and people chanted or didn't based on what was going on.

Ah, well that sucks.

I stopped going to AHL games in part because it just became a big teen dance party with a hockey game going on below.

We used to have pretty loud crowds in Rochester but we became obsolete.

you should know better than to think that's all i'm in for. after 32 years of close but no cigar, i don't think it's unreasonable to want your team to win, and not continue to watch discarded home grown players win elsewhere.

Carter going to LA pretty much assured the Kings would win the Cup.

If Fate were truly cruel, they'd be beating the Flyers.

The refs missed a minor on Stoll right before the major on Bernier, and the linesman really screwed the pooch right before Carter's second goal

I'm impressed they've resisted the urge to make even up calls.

Very un-NHL-like.
