Please lose. Thanks
Play Korpi you cowards
Dear The Los Angeles Kings,
If we win this game, it goes a long way in helping the Mighty Anaheim Ducks of Orange County get Connor Bedard whom you will have to face six or more times a season for the next 15+ years AND have to market your team against locally. No one wants this. Also we sent Jonathan Quick to Vegas.
Play us accordingly.
PS- we wouldn’t mind a few points from Johnny Gaudreau, though
I want Gabe Vilardi on our team
Hey lose you pozzle wozzles
I sorta feel like Johnny has overall played the best paired with Bemstrom
As always, love this team to the end of time but losing the rest of the way is for the greater good. Let’s (not?) do this!
