Thread: Kovalchuk a healthy scratch(Laugh at Ilya here)

Does it really matter who and what people "concentrate" on? Do the Kings somehow not perform as well when individual fans choose to enjoy the misfortune of a player on another team? Maybe it's pointless to start a new thread about this, but it's equally pointless to tell other people what they should or shouldn't care about.

I subconsciously had a little smirk on my face when I looked at the standings tonight. May make me immature, but I admit to having a slight bit of satisfaction when seeing NJ in second to last place.

nah, everyone experiences a little schadenfreude some time in their life. I don't think it's particularly unusual to smirk at the clusterf*** currently going on with NJ... definitely glad Lombardi didn't pull the trigger on that one for sure.

This thread is one four game losing streak by the Kings and one four game winning streak by the Devils away from failing on its mission.

Just sayin'

It's pointless to hope a player/team does bad because the player didn't want to sign in LA. Get over it. The Kings are doing fine without him. That should be good enough.

Agreed.

Jealous? Not really. As of right now I'm super glad Dean didn't sign that albatross of a contract!

Pardon the cliche, but.....link?

Then you're seriously out of touch with the average sports fan. Do you think Bruins fans wish Habs fans all the best? Vice versa? Do you think Pens fans and Caps fans get together for tea and crumpets? Do you think Yankees fans and Red Sox fans exchange gifts at Christmas?

They made their own bed. All signs of logic were pointing away from signing that deal but they did it anyway. They have no one to blame but themselves. Furthermore, none of us have any effect on what happens there. No matter what we say or post nothing changes. If you want to call it a macabre interest, kinda like watching a train wreck, okay, fine. But it's not much different than "hating" on the Ducks yet that seems to be the norm around here.

Stop riding around on your high horse because some took issue with the way the Kings were treated by Kovi and his agent.

That's an awfully big and asinine assumption to make.

I had a terrible itch the other day, so I took care of it with a healthy scratch.
