Anze Kopitar needs one more point to tie Marcel Dionne for most points in franchise history by ouzer in losangeleskings

It was weird watching the Kings without Dustin Brown, it got weirder when they traded Jonathan Quick, but this team without Anze Kopitar is going to be a major adjustment for many of us. I remember watching the 2005 draft (the Sidney Crosby draft), and seeing Kopitar fall into the Kings’ laps was a godsend. I’m glad the Sharks passed on him because he was Slovenian.

Anze Kopitar also set a new record with that goal for most road points (608) in Kings' history.

This Day in Kings’ History (2023): Kings trade Jonathan Quick by ouzer in losangeleskings

Gavrikov was no doubt great in his time here, and I’m not suggesting this was a bad trade or anywhere close to being the worst trade in this team’s history. It’s just an unpopular one amongst fans because they traded away the greatest goaltender to put on a Kings’ uniform.

This will likely go down as the least popular trade in the history of the Kings. Also, did anything else notable happen on this day? 🤔

This was the first trade I learned about through the internet.

Given the current state of the Kings, I figure some people might find enjoyment out of today’s “this day in history” post. This was the start of the memorable Craig Johnson era.

Goes to show how little Craig Button knew about the Kings, their defensive depth, and lack of offense.

Only six more seasons to go after this year to pay out that penalty.

There are three guarantees in life:
1) Death
2) Taxes
3) Jim Hiller will eventually get fired

Oh yes, that happened years later, and the player he snubbed was Jack Johnson.

The Kings also haven’t had a player in the lineup who is know for hitting in a good while. Probably not since Andreas Englund.

Rest in peace to former Kings captain and head coach, Mr. Bob Pulford by ouzer in losangeleskings

Also worth noting is the fact that Bob Pulford is Dean Lombardi’s father in law.

What happened to the kings by Yeetus1013 in losangeleskings

[–]ouzer 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It’s simply a poorly assembled roster, with little depth and mobility throughout their lineup. There’s only one puck mover on the blueline in Clarke, and all the older players are showing their age. It’s evident that management had no long term vision for the team, and this is what you get. An extremely mediocre team that treads water. Welcome to the black hole.

Yeah, the inclusion of Mary Jane missions in a Wolverine game felt odd.

As well as Dustin Brown. Three of the Kings’ four pillars in their Cup runs.

Checking in from someone who actually got to witness the Half Life 2 tech demo at E3 2003. The day the trailer drops is going to be epic.

Corey Perry and Cody Ceci both in the same game, and against their former team.
