It never ceases to amaze me how many bad/mediocre/unknown goalies the Kings had over the past 20 years -- that someone can still come up with the name of a Kings goalie I don't remember!

You mean like Travis Scott?




Or perhaps AHL phenom Adam Hauser?

Well crap, I thought by the title that they were going to give Kelly Hrudey away. I was trying to guess what country would take him and was actually looking forward to making the trip down there to witness it.

I was never a fan of the flopping fish.

You either accept all Kings players past, present, and future, or you will never be accepted as a fan. I'm sorry to explain that to you so bluntly, but if you don't respect the past, you will never understand. You will never understand why there were grown men crying at the site of the Cup, you will never understand the frustration of being a fan for 28 years and finally be able to see the Cup lifted. Your statement alone is what scares me about all these new Kings "fans" who have jumped on recently because it's the "cool" thing to do. If you don't want to respect the former Kings, I suggest that you go be am ignorant Ducks fan so that you have no history to look back on.

OK buddy!
