And if King...'Also, and yes, I am a Kings fan. And if Kings fans were booing an injured player, that sucks. But guess what, how does that change anything? Will they kick people out of the arena? Does this make LA a city of sin and debauchery? In what way does this reflect on the Kings organization? A few months ago Chiefs fans were believed to be cheering an injury. So now if fans have any reaction to anything this reflects poorly on anyone other than the people making those decisions. Will you travel to Los Angeles and walk around, viewing the citizens as Imps from Doom, as if you are living in a post-Apocalyptic hellscape? No. Unless you are an idiot.' <br /><br />Wow. Seriously? So, you're a homer who's upset at Wysh, who blogs fairly?<br />Don't answer that, it's way too obvious you're blind to what happened. <br />That last 2 sentences are unbelievably stupid, even on the scale of that entire paragraph.

Yes, Wysh is a blogger and, as a result, probably isn't held to the normal requirements of print media journalists. That's kind of the point with blogging. Greg isn't working for Dateline. As a perfect example of this, take this flaming and biased heap of a blog post that isn't anything close to journalism either. Who cares if Wysh didn't follow the rules of journalism if he isn't supposed to? Why even bring that up? He runs a blog, as do you. <br /><br />2. I agree with the guy above me. It's hilarious how ridiculously arrogant Kings "fans" have gotten after one stanley cup season in which they played well for exactly three weeks. To suggest the Kings fans were booing anything else but the injury is pure crap. Literally, ~15% of Kings fans knew Giguere used to be on the Ducks and probably only half of that 15% can recognize his face. The very notion that Kings fans like you and Matsuda think this is a plausible theory is hilarious.<br /><br />3. You should thank Wysh. The only reason I even came across this hapless blog is because he linked me to it.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4068327392150378852.post-2701828920968233042013-04-12T16:43:38.408-05:002013-04-12T16:43:38.408-05:00This is nonsense.

And we're expected to believe that a substantial portion of the fans in the Staples centre know who the Avalanche's backup goalie is, much less that he played for the Ducks ten years ago? Half of the people there probably couldn't name the KINGS backup goalie.<br /><br />It was pretty clear from the video that the Kings had just had a good offensive zone shift which was unexpectedly stopped and this upset the home crowd. Hence, the video was worth posting.
