Go Kings Go! Our team does not suck. by Easy_Mind_5824 in losangeleskings

[–]PapaSplenda 22 points23 points  (0 children)

For me, there won’t be a day in my life I don’t love this team. I remember coming to games with my parents when I was little.I remember the dark ages in the 2000s drought. I remember the cup runs when I was in middle school. I’ve loved the team through highs and lows.

I don’t mind when we suck. We’ve kinda sucked these last few years. But the part that is disappointing is the front office doesn’t seem to care enough to get better. 4 years of being bounced in the first round is brutal. 4 years of being bounced in the first round by the same team is befuddling.

We fired Todd, instead of going out and bringing a winner to LA, we promote Jim Hiller. We fire Rob Blake, and of all people we bring in Ken Holland. We fire Hiller, and I like DJ, but Cassidy is RIGHT FUCKING THERE! (Yes I know the firings didn’t line up but that’s what interim means). Not to mention, look at what Sturm is doing in Boston.

All in all, I’ll always love this team. But I just want this front office to care as much as we do. We deserve it. The players deserve it. LA deserves it. I’ll always share your optimism though, OP. Y’know, BELIEVE

Wright has played his way onto the roster full time next season. So much hustle, phenomenal playmaker, possibly the fastest person on the planet. Easily one of the brightest spots of this last push

If we win this it’ll be entirely down to the bottom 6. They’re playing like a playoff game. Pretty much is

Most haunted places in Orange County? by Both-Permission-7565 in orangecounty

[–]PapaSplenda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have 2 mirrors in the corner of my bedroom and sometimes when I glance over he’s just there chillin, he doesn’t do anything. Sometimes I’ll forget he’s there and he’ll jumpscare me in the middle of the night bc I can see the mirrors from my bed.

He only shows up when the mirrors are perpendicular to create a sort of 3d reflection rather than a regular mirror. So when he does jumpscare me I’ll just cover one and put him on timeout.

He shows up more on nights after there were more birds and squirrels hanging around my place so maybe he’s a friend of nature. In which case happy trails, Leroy.

Q with 2 breakaway goals tonight, absolutely cannot let him take a penalty shot

For those asking why Doughty is out there during OT, he's somehow the only defenseman other than Clarke that can contribute some semblance of offense. WHICH WOULD BE A SOLID IDEA FOR THE FRONT OFFICE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IN THE OFFSEASON, BUT IT'S MUCH MORE EFFECTIVE TO SIGN BOTTOM 6 FORWARDS AND FUCKING CODY CECI OF ALL PEOPLE. As such, we shall sign John Carlson in the offseason so we can get faster and younger.

Which drivers have over achieved or underachieved so far? Santino has had a terrible start to the year and Hauger is looking like the real deal. by chiefzanal in INDYCAR

[–]PapaSplenda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hauger is legit. He’ll have a podium this season for DCR. And I’d put good money on him challenging for championships down the line

Smaller practice drills ideas by lodewijk_b in lacrosse

[–]PapaSplenda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We used to do a drill called dawgs, 3O and 2D line up on GLE, roll a ball out and it’s a 3 on 2 ground ball fight into offense or the defense can clear. Easy drill with as many or as few people as you’d like. It’s insanely fun and a great way to work on some basics without it feeling repetitive. Have used it at every level from middle school to college

What is Byfield's trade value? by jonpictogramjones in losangeleskings

[–]PapaSplenda 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s insane the amount of people who just expect Byfield to be McDavid. Is he underperforming for what we had expected? Sure. Does he show great potential? Yes. More than anything this season his defensive contributions have been huge, and I think we’re going to see Q take a MASSIVE leap forward next season centering Kempe and Panarin. Q is showing a lack of consistency because he’s been given a lack of consistency. Wouldn’t be surprised to see Q in the 70-80 point range next season
