Going for the new Richards jersey this time around. GKG!

I have the current white Richards, bought it blank to get Carter put on when he arrived, then Richards hit the clutch OT winner 2 years ago and my mind went blank.

 

[purg3]

Oh, I totally agree. Just having some fun.

Not trying to knock the rangers, yeah they had an amazing comback to beat the pens. They just can't match the Kings.

 

[RocketRacoon]

Oddly enough, I always said if it was mandatory to like an East team as well as the Kings, I would've said the Rangers. Great team, great history, sweet sweaters.

 

[TheKaeptain]

Nah I'm just kidding, but it does make the suppository easier to take.



You gotta start paying attention when a Kings fan says that a fanbase is making them fear for their lives.

I'm with you though. I have never in my life been as pissed off at visiting fans as I was during the 2005 USC/Fresno State game. I was honestly ready to throw down with those fuckers. They had grandmas saying the most vile shit imaginable.

I loved that fucking game. I was eating at Fresno's Dog House Grill watching everyone's heart break as reality came crashing down on them. I was also there this year watching overrated Carr get his shit pushed in.

My buddy's GF had on a USC hat and some dude tried to spit on her.

Tim Ryan, Exec VP and COO of the Ducks is a CSU Long Beach alumni, so that's something for me.

Fresno has nothing to live for so they take it out on the rest of the world.

If we had lost, I probably would have ended up in jail.

Yes, basically this. Thankfully they're incredibly easy to make fun of to their faces. So much ammo to work with.

 

[Red_Man]

What a boring ass finals, can't believe they made it this far in all seriousness. Congrats to the kings fans, they have one hell of a playoff performing team.

Taking out the other teams goalie is a pretty great way to get to the finals. Aside from this round, the Kings have had one of the most exciting Cup runs in recent memory. All those people saying the cup was won last round between the Kings / Hawks was right. I'm pretty jelly of Kings fans.

You would not believe the amount of people that love living here.

Maybe it's because I've actually lived in other countries and cites but Fresno is a blackhole with no culture.

Taking out your own team's goalie is a pretty great way to miss the finals.

Salt or no, these playoffs are terrible. Let it be over.

Goodbye on your season Marty, maybe in the offseason you can ask to be traded to the Kings.

I know Fresno has some cool house parties with the larger/cheaper homes. But when you walk outside it's still Fresno.

That's like too far from the beach

 

[Pickles the Firecat]

I was going to jump in on the Fresno hate train but I'm trying to maintain positive and good vibes for tonight.

Fresno is a pleasant place to be for five to ten minutes during an Amtrak stop.

It's actually a pretty inspiring success story that a colony of people with brain damage were able to create a more or less operational city.

One good thing about Fresno is how close it is to the sierras.

Dude the amtrak is in the ghetto. North Fresno is actually a really nice place to live. It's like Orange County lite. South Fresno is like Oakland and East LA fucked and whatever they spawned decided to make that part of Fresno its home.

 

[Pickles the Firecat]

At no point during my visits to Fresno have I thought, "I would rather be in Bakersfield right now"

 

[Holiday]

Best playoffs in years.

The only objectively just, good, and beautiful thing to happen was Detroit losing in the first round, and I can barely even enjoy that.

 

[Clydefrog]

LOL

I was about to say something remarkably similar.

 

[TheKaeptain]

Fresno is most def the nicest part of Central Valley. It is probably the best county in CenCal too. Most of the world's fruit and veggies are from here. So the county has more money than everyone around it.

 

[Red_Man]

This is basically the LA OT thread if there isn't one already.

There is really nothing to talk about until game time since AV didn't announce who is starting or line changes.

Ah man I like Oakland Everyone I know from highschool left San Francisco for Oakland and Berkeley because of rent.

There is really nothing to talk about until game time since AV didn't announce who is starting or line changes.

I guess we can talk about every quote from the Rangers locker room sounding like a white flag being raised. But I'm under the impression that AV is going to handle that, get their heads clear, and have them ready to play tonight.

 

[Calamari41]

Wait, they're still going through with the game tonight??

Oakland has improved recently, but poster is probably referring to the areas of Oakland where they stab Acid because he's not donned in black and silver Raider attire... which is also what happens in some parts of LA.

It doesn't bother me haha, it's just funny. Not much to talk about regarding the game anyways.

I'm originally from Fresno. Oh god how I miss the Dog House Grill. That's pretty much all I miss.

But yeah, it's a Sharks town because that's the team whose games are on TV.

 

[TheKaeptain]

I've been arguing about Shakespeare's Sonnet 30 for like two hours now. Crazy.


I won't be posting during the game but Rangers-gaf you're all cool dudes. I think they'll win tonight and extend the series. Of course I want the Kings to close it out but you never know in Hockey.

Dog House is godlike. I might end up there tonight. World Sports Cafe at Riverpark closed so Dog House is the best sports bar left in town.

They sound a lot better today. They were all just in a sour mood yesterday (understandably).

Been trying to find that GIF for a long time. Thanks!

#BestKoivu

Love how Montreal treats him even after he left

 

[TheKaeptain]

Best Tri tip sandwiches?

Yes. I have yet to meet a tri-tip that is as good as Dog House's. The key is their sauce. It is amazing.

 

[Pickles the Firecat]

Honestly, it's easy for me to say they need to get over things like the interference goal or the bounces the Kings have gotten, but it has to be real hard to play three games like that in a row at the biggest point in your career. I'm not sure I could shake it off myself. This series could be 2 - 1 in either direction if they had closed out at least one of those games, gotten at least one lucky bounce, etc. Has to eat away at you.

But that's what your leadership and coaching staff are for, and it sounds like NY has them ready to come out.

 

[SmackCrackleNPop]

Yes. I have yet to meet a tri-tip that is as good as Dog House's. The key is their sauce. It is amazing.

I shall try it if I ever find myself in Fresno. And enter the restaurant like Saku

 

[Pickles the Firecat]

Phil's BBQ in San Diego is the beginning and the end of tri-tip.

Gentrification is taking over Oakland. Pretty soon even Smelly will be okay with the thought of living there.

 

[SmackCrackleNPop]

That whole bay area is getting gentrified. Everyone will be associated with silicon valley somehow. Middle class will move to Stockton.

So Stockton will improve?

I've been to a few ECHL games in Stockton, their little arena is actually really nice. Nicest thing in the entire city tbh.

 

[dream]

NEW YORK, N.Y. - On the verge of winning the Stanley Cup, Drew Doughty remembers what it was like facing the same 3-0 hole the Rangers have now when the Kings faced the Sharks in the first round.

What he recalled does not reflect kindly on the likes of Joe Thornton, Patrick Marleau and Dan Boyle.

"Once we won that first game of the San Jose series, we kind of had a feeling we were going to come back and win that series," Doughty said Wednesday several hours before Game 4 of the final. "And you could see it in their eyes and their team and their captains and leaders that they were worried about us coming back. So we don't want to give these guys any life."

Lol@Drew looking into Thorton's eyes and seeing the bitch in him.

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

When we roadtripped to Disneyland, we stayed one night in Stockton. My dad and I went to get food and took a wrong turn. I told him we were lost but he insisted that we were going the right way since he remembered a Taco Bell near the hotel. Turns out there were two locations close to each other.

Sketchiest detour though was when we were in LA and took a wrong exit into Santa Monica. This was before GPS's were around so we drove around a really sketchy part of town trying to get back onto the highway. We ended up asking someone at a Greyhound depot for directions since that place looked the safest to stop at.

 

[Acid08]

"After we injured their best defenseman we knew we would be able to come back! Also I, Drew Doughty, sexually assault women at parties."

This is Stoll's kind of party.

Edit: is Vlasic fine now? Or does he still have concussion symptoms?

And you should back off of Doughty. Charges weren't filed. He's only an accused rapist.
