Maybe it was in collaboration with local law enforcement?
That way they can track Kings fans home and catch them in the act. Or outright prevent what we all know happens.

Might as well duct tape 3d printed guns to the underside of the chairs. At least then SOME of the deaths would be swift.
That's just a terrific idea right there

Someone's gonna die if the Kings lose tonight.
Only if they lose?

At least once they're all thrown on the ice they can collect em up and give them out again next year.

A higher body count if they do.

All they have to do to mitigate the damage is tell the crowd that the Kings are the ones in teal.

They're still yelling at Jones/Reimer, thinking they're Niemi and droning out "Hiiiiiilllllllerrrrrrr".
The implication from both AV and Jeff Gorton has been that this is the "last rodeo" for this core group. If we go down in the first round, I expect them to make some significant moves, perhaps bigger than people are expecting. The revelation that Brady Skjei can effectively play the right side may also be a serious game changer in how the Rangers approach the offseason on defense. It makes Girardi truly expendable as we'll already have 3 capable right defensemen (assuming we re-sign McIlrath) on much, much better contracts, and it leaves a space on the left side open to re-sign Yandle.
Absolutely no chance whatsoever of re-signing Eric Staal. Dominic Moore is somewhat borderline to re-sign, and I wouldn't be surprised either way if he stays or goes. He's had a pretty down year compared to his previous two. Viktor Stalberg I would bet gets re-signed unless he wants too much money. He's been real good basically since December. Same for Antti Raanta.
That leaves the three RFAs. Kreider, Miller, Hayes. I'm guessing one of them will be gone, and that that one will not be JT Miller.
The big question is: do you try to sell Rick Nash? My gut tells me the answer will be no, but dropping his contract along with Girardi's could open up all kinds of possibilities.

Who to cheer for tonight

From what I understand, never cheer for a SoCal team.
There are way more shitty contracts in the league than there are roster spots on a single expansion team.
Unclear given the vagueness of how the expansion draft will work for players with NMCs on their contracts. Girardi has a full no move clause on his contract through next season, with the remaining 3 seasons having a 15-team limited no trade clause.
This also is what will make losing Girardi's contract so difficult. It's not just the term and the money, it's the clauses attached.
But I do agree with Red_Man on this. I think he is movable, despite the fancy stat baggage and the fact that he had a particularly terrible year. Someone will value his skillset.
(Marc Staal's contract, by the way, has similar terms.)

Really? But why? He's not the coach, he's just the captain.

He hasn't gone full Lebron and asked the GM to trade Larkin for Stamkos.

Are you having difficulties cheering for a team that has Perry on it's roster?
Come, my friend, we have much to discuss.

It's cool that Disney invented Star Wars, Marvel and the beloved Southern OC treasure The Mighty Ducks Of Anaheim.

Another good thing for Disney is that there aren't any Jewish players on the Ducks
Didn't know Zetterberg would be capable of having that kind of power.

Disney was also the reason I was laid off from Lucasfilm after 11 years there!
So my SoCal statement stands!

Does anyone here watch Jojo's Bizzare Adventure?
Saw bits and pieces, but never sat down to watch it all the way through. What's up?
