Posted a comment on lakingsinsider earlier on a post titled "Kings on the Ice" Regarding the teams morning skate and how it was optional. My post read "Optional? With their performance the last two games I'd imagine it'd be a mandatory skate" That was it, nothing against the rules, just a critique about their play. The post was deleted an hour later. I guess the new mods are silencing the fans like Hammond got silenced by the team during the lockout.
Get your facts straight it was the NHL who wanted Hammond silenced, not the Kings.
To be fair... it's not like Rich Hammond was blowing the lid off of some Lance Armstrong grade conspiracies in the NHL world.
He was just asking a bunch of banal questions to a bunch of guys who weren't going to play hockey for another 4 months.
He was hardly "silenced"... he just had to adhere to the rules governing league employees during a labor negotiation.
