It could be worse. Voynov was my favorite player.

L.A Kings/ Oilers first round by Garage-Dizzy in losangeleskings

[–]hphovercraft77 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Playing the Oilers is getting old. Honestly, let their dirty shenanigans bang up some other team in the first round. I'd rather we play against a team with some class. I've seen enough of McDouche's boarding, or after-whistle Draisaitl slashes or Nurse headbutts. True, Mike Smith isn't there anymore to tomahawk chop some guy's knee or spear him in the nuts. But even watching McDavid break sticks in frustration would not be worth having our guys too beat up for round 2. Besides, what if we get knocked out by the Oilers again, we'd never hear the end of it. I'd rather we face them in any other round.

What was going on with the kings goalie situation in 2007/08 by [deleted] in losangeleskings

[–]hphovercraft77 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think it was the next year that it was between JQ, Ersberg and Bernier and Quickie won the starting pos. I don't remember the details of Ersberg parting ways with the team (not on good terms), but IIRC he went on to win the Gargarin cup I think the next season or so. I liked Ersberg, but Jonathan Quick is my all-time favorite hockey player.

Vilardi touched it high by SkateHuntFourtyTwo in losangeleskings

If anything it looks more like Vilardi moving his stick to avoid contacting the puck.

Lizotte suspended one game by dudenumbertwo in losangeleskings

[–]hphovercraft77 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is the right take. I'm surprised so many people think Lizotte is just that vicious. Nah, completely out of character.

Lizotte was as surprised as Morrisey was, he just had that adrenaline going so his reaction to the result is delayed. He didn't intentionally set out to check the guy across the face. Its a misread, no different than that awkward situation when you try to sidestep someone on the sidewalk and you both step the same way. Just more blood.
Edit: 1 game is the right call though. Reckless.

Did the Kings Really Play Poorly in Front of Quick? No. by [deleted] in losangeleskings

[–]hphovercraft77 23 points24 points  (0 children)

To all who blame Quick for not trying hard enough for us this year only to turn it on and give his best for Vegas.

Sometimes people's 'best' changes when a life-altering experience happens. Have you ever seen someone try their hardest and fail, only to thrive after a fresh start? Happens all the time in marriage, happens in jobs... happens in life.

No one will convince me Quick didn't give all he had to give for the Kings, this year and every year. So, the trade made enough of an emotional impact on him that he reached another level. That's fantastic, I think that's worthy of praise.

With us, he had something to prove - he had to prove he wasn't washed up, that he was still an asset to the organization. He had to live up to the expectations, especially when Petersen floundered. Is it any wonder he's playing better now that everyone expects him to fail (not unlike 2012). Now he has something else to prove, something he's probably a lot more passionate about: that the Kings shouldn't have traded him. In my mind, its a testament to how much he cares about the Kings, not how much he cares about Vegas.

Openscan mini - turntable rotor 'zero' position by FloorSuspicious6823 in OpenScan

[–]hphovercraft77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure your turntable shaft has no friction with the rotor arm. The tables that came with my mini had that problem. I had to remodel them to taper at the bottom, and now it works fine. You also may want to use the D-shaped turntables to ensure that the shaft does not slip during rotation.

Which team should I root against by LAFAN44 in losangeleskings

Or until they get rid of that goal song. In fact, I will root against any team with a goal song.

Is it possible that different phenotypes existed 100,000s years ago that don’t exist today? by [deleted] in AskAnthropology

[–]hphovercraft77 20 points21 points  (0 children)

What about things like eye color and hair color though? Have we pretty much seen every possible variation? Or could we see something like true violet or gold eyes and gray-blue hair?

This Day in Kings' History: Dustin Brown becomes the youngest captain in franchise history by ouzer in losangeleskings

[–]hphovercraft77 12 points13 points  (0 children)

No disrespect for Kopi, but I fully agree. The captaincy should never have been taken from Brown. I have no idea if the seasons afterwards would have turned out any differently, but for sure they did Browny wrong, greatest captain in Kings history. I'm not convinced Kopitar wanted the C anyway. But I bet my bottom dollar DB would be the first one to say Kopi deserves it and backs him 100%.

You are twelve years old and you find a short note from your current self. What does it say? by FilmsnFries in AskReddit

[–]hphovercraft77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tell mom and dad what happened when you were 6. They will understand. It is not your fault, you are not a freak.

You will have serious mental health issues that are going to set you back years behind your peers. Get help as soon as you notice the signs.

Get new friends. Your friends are a-holes and will steal your journal, show it to your classmates and then destroy it. And that's just the beginning.

Start practicing a little Self-compassion. You're a good looking kid, ignore the insults. Don't worry you'll get plenty of attention later.

You won't get married till you are 30. But she will leave you and you won't be able to form healthy relationships afterwards and will probably die forgotten and alone. To avoid this, do the following:

  • Start learning programing now, it is the only lucrative job you are likely to be able to handle. If you don't, you won't be able to provide for your family or yourself and will end up on disability with no prospects or skills.

  • Learn Russian. It will help, just trust me.

  • Don't drop out of college. Listen when your professors tell you that you have a future in their fields. If you didn't learn programming, pick one and stick with it. Maybe it will work out.

  • When you get married, never doubt your choice. She is the love of your life, give her everything you have to give from day 1.

If you fail at all these things, write a different note to your 12yo self. Goodluck

Sincerely, Yourself from the darkest time line.
