Blip? I dunno, those dozen or so games he played with the Kings were ****ing traumatic for my young Kings fan self. Acquiring Carter during a playoff push was exciting until the Kings completely drove off the cliff, with Carter doing nothing to slow down the car. I was even at the last game in San Jose when they blew a two goal lead with 30 seconds left in the game before losing in OT.

Traumatic times, I say. Traumatic.

I am actually completely onboard with what you are saying. I actually never understood the CJ hatred because, as you said, his moment of infamy was purely accidental. Just wanted to stoke the flames!

I'm no fan of Carter's, but isn't this a bit much? How well do you know him, exactly?

Another thought....

Yes those of us who are rolling our eyes and shouting to the heavens "UGH!" are probably over reacting a tad.

But you know who else is over reacting?

All of you people going "Oh I don't get it... what's up negative nancies they won a cup so who cares get over it Go Kings every decision they ever make is always awesome GET OVER IT"

NO!

YOU GET OVER IT!

I spent the last 20+ years of my life rooting for this stupid team and most of that time they were terrible. TERRIBLE.

They finally win a Stanley Cup and are stocked with exciting young players who appear to enjoy playing here and are signed long term and you want to start dragging all the old crappy memories from the terrible years and shoving them back down my throat?

THAT SUCKS!

I agree with Doc. A lot of the names mentioned made me want to puke in my mouth.

I puke in my mouth every Saturday night, after a lot of cold ones!!! You get use to it .

Rastafarians?

Tsh, get over it.
