That is such an applicable quote for what happened at the draft lottery when the Oilers were awarded #1.

Lets worry about getting some decent players first. Then we can sacrifice another coach.

If you are an isles fan and think this is ok behavior or "oh they should expect it, wearing the other team's jersey", you are wrong.
That is absolutely disgraceful. 99% of the games I have been o have been in the opposing team arena. (mostly the Forum in L.A.) I have had a bit of abuse but nothing to complain about (worst was an unused panty liner stuck to the windshield of my car)

Shame on those fans.

Sure, like they were better than the RANGERS last year.

I have seen lots of calls that went in their favor this year just like last. They always get the special Habitants calling plan.

Didn't the Kings make the playoffs the year after their first cup? And lost to Chicago in the playoffs?

They were the 6th seed going into last years playoffs, not the 8.

Their first cup, they squeeked in like the Pens this year. I am referring to winning last year and not making teh playoffs at all. I am pretty sure that has never happened.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Angeles_Kings
First Stanley Cup victory (2011–12)

The Kings lost both of their final two games to the Sharks in overtime, allowing San Jose to edge them out by one point for the seventh seed in the Western Conference, while a five-game winning streak gave the Coyotes their first Pacific Division championship. The Kings settled for the eighth seed.

Ya, their first cup I knew they were the 8th seed. I thought you were saying they were 8th last year and failed to qualify this year.

As far as only team not to qualify after a cup win? Not sure? I thought the Rangers dng after their cup win in 94, but looked it up and they were 8th. Lets wait for Black Label to dig that one up.

All I know is this...

The Maple Leafs once came back from being down 0:3 in a playoff series and won 4:3. The fucking Toronto fucking Maple Leafs. If they can do it, anything is possible. I have it on very good authority that the maple leafs coming back from being down 0:3 is directly responsible for landing a man on the moon and the invention of the smart phone.

Lol

I'll happily be wrong for that one.

Let's say it is rare and only really special teams accomplish it!
