I guess he has never been to a game at staples with the red wings, blackhawks or the ducks are in town! hahahahah its the same damn thing there.

I have a couple friends that are die hard King fans. They'll go to the Honda Center, but not Staples so much. Parking, freeway access, even seat comfort seem to favor the Honda Center. I went to a few Laker playoff games, but never again. Too much of a hassle, and the seats weren't nearly as comfortable (and I was always lower level). Even as a die hard Duck fan, haven't traveled to Staples to watch them.

Been told the upper level at Honda Center, the feel is you're closer to the action than at Staples. I don't know though.

yea, right after a goal is taken away unjustly. Clear B.S. Good luck with the App! Your fan base is a disgrace if you have to use an App to get your fans to clap and cheer.

EXCUSE ME....BITTER party of 1....your table is ready!

That play was off sides. I don't know how anyone would even argue that?

When your argument after a loss is that your fans are better, you're not really a hockey fan. I mean, even if you win the argument, who cares? Have some self respect. The Kings have finally stopped sucking after years of ineptitude. They boast one of the best goalies, one of the best defensemen, and one of the best forwards in the league. They have won two Cups.

The rivalry is strong. The fans hate each other. The games between the teams are epic. But to argue what goes on in the stands over what happens on the ice is juvenile.

That said, since your last Cup, it looks like the Ducks are 6-0-2 against the Kings over the past two regular seasons. The Kings couldn't even pull it together to meet the Ducks in the playoffs last season, so we don't have anything to go on there. Hopefully the Ducks and Kings finish 2nd and 3rd so the Kings can have another long summer to brush up on their golf games...or their drug taking....or their wife beating. Ya know, whatever it is they like to do. Hey, maybe Lucic can even give a Duck a death threat in the typically gentlemanly handshake line after his defeat. Is there a dumber player in the league?

Love the deals -
Pirri - always liked his game - going to fit like a glove I believe -
McGinn - what's not to like - tough- can score - hard to play against and not slow .. or as slow as Patty - good luck to Pat - was solid Duck -

- dozerD10


McGinn is a great add. As for Pirri, you better he only starts his shifts in the o-zone. No defensive awareness. There is a reason he was moved for almost nothing, and that wasn't just to make room for Hudler.

Show me a video that conclusively show it was offsides. I haven't seen it yet! Not enough evidence to overturn it. No worries though, on to Saturday.

Regardless......6" tablet they are making calls on. Why not give it to Toronto like everything else? I guess they will have to put blue line cameras in the boards and have better angles next year.

Agreed, I heard they're considering the cameras. Do something other than a 6" pad.

McGinn is a good addition, he fits the Ducks style of play.

If Pirri can keep playing like he did last year this deal will be a steal. He's never put up more than 30 points in a season, so assuming he'll hop right into a top 6 role I'm not so sure about. Could be our next version of Sekac, or more optimistically Belleskey. His 22 G 2 A last year are Matt Beleseky like numbers.

Sad to see Maroon leave, but glad to see the depth Anaheim has added. He dropped the mits, contributed offensively, and would play multiple roles for the Ducks on any given night. Hope he does well in Edmonton, but not sure how I feel about dealing him within the Pacific Division.

Well I did not know that - perhaps that is manageable - I was just transfixed with his goals -

I go to ever Kings and Ducks game at staples. Playoffs or regular season... Its the same environment regardless. Only difference is, you score first or have a 2 goal lead, its crickets in there.
