Jason Lewis: Darryl Sutter Signs Extension with the Los Angeles Kings

Good deal!

Changes are definitely coming to the Kings.

Boo! (Hopefully Kings fans understand that what I really mean is that is a freakin' great signing, and I'm bummed about it.) I was hoping against hope that the Ducks would sign Mr. Personality. I remember being at a Kings game sitting right behind the bench when Sutter coached the Sharks. The Sharks were getting killed. In the third period I yelled, "If you can't skate, fight!" Sutter kind of half turned my way and almost immediately sent his tough guys out. All hell broke loose. I love that guy.

Gulls/Ducks fans will be out in force in Ontario Saturday night. A lot of fans are making the road trip. I'd steer clear of section 119 if you want to watch the game in peace and quiet, which is how Ontario fans seem to like it. I wonder if Kings fans will support their prospects in a manner similar to what the Gulls/Ducks fans do. So far they have not. I challenge Kings fans to show up and try to keep us from drowning you out like we did in games 1 and 3. Of course, it's all for naught if the Reign close out the series tonight and tomorrow.

I don't think the complacency is all on the coach...yet.

I'm thinking it'll be the few that got their feet wet this past season: Mersche, Dowd, Gravel and Forbert. One, if not both of those Dmen will need to step in 2017 when Scuds and Greene are officially sent out to pasture.

they should be sent out to pasture now. if we have to have them significant minutes again, that does not bode well.

Let's



Go



Reign!

I think they each have another year left, Greene maybe 2

Great to have him back. I've found that so long as I purposely tune out of any and all post game interviews he does, my perception of him is significantly more positive. I like him a lot personally, but his interactions with the media has gotten a bit tired and too angst-ridden (outside of the occasional, surprisingly insightful comment he can provide) to continually watch. I understand his reasons for being so short with the press, but he takes it a little too far to merit listening to it. Everything else about him is golden in my book. Welcome back Champ (X2)

REIGN WIN!!

Why has Lucic not signed yet?

At the beginning of the season all reports were he was going to Vancouver once he was a UFA.

This delay in signing him seems odd.

I think until he signs a contact with LA, consider him a Canuck.

Doesn't seem to help, though

What's the rush?

Goes to show how knowlegble Vancouver media is

This delay in signing him seems odd.

When is July 1 in Canada? Here it's on July 1.

I think until he signs a contact with LA, consider him a Canuck.

Should we also considering Canucks as Stanley Cup Champions? What about Toronto? They claim to be champs as well.
