Nice job...I'm gonna throw in Thomas Hickey, Colten Teubert, Andrei Loktionov, Viatcheslav Voyonov, Oscar Moller, and last but not least Johnathan Bernier (best goalie in the minors) as some up and comers.

My dad and I went to game 6 back in '93, the game where we knocked out Calgary on the way to reaching the finals. The Forum was absolutely rocking that night. Originally Posted by LA_Kings760

Welcome, you've come at a good time. Dean Lombardi took over a few years ago and immediately started rebuilding. He went out and got a lot of young talent and now are beginning to be competetive again after years of not being very competitive at all. Originally Posted by kArSoN RyDaH

This young team we have now should be a force in the league for years to come.

Very interesting that you say that. I have been a Kings and Lakers fan for a long time and I now reside in San Antonio where nobody follows hockey, its all Spurs country here Originally Posted by kArSoN RyDaH
. Talking to some of the basketball fans at my work who ask about hockey when I put it on tv, I always compare them to the Thunder.
If you have never been, I definately recommend going to a game if you can. I didn't become a fan until I went to a game, its a completely different expirience.
