The L.A. Kings did the thing that every NHL club with aging franchise icons wants to do. They built the bridge to a new contention window before it was too late.
Then it fell apart before they could cross it. And became a case study for other teams.

My "Roman Empire is the realization that my life is a lottery win. Somewhere in Sudan, Pålestine, iran, Afghanistan, Iraq or Congo, there is a boy smarter than me. He is more disciplined, more resilient, and holds more potential in his single finger than I do in my entire career.
The only difference? I am siting in a train and he is sting in the rubble of his dreams.
My "bad days" are his wildest dreams.
My "burnout" is a luxury he can't afford because his only job is staying alive.
It's geographical luck and it's a haunting injustice that we all refuse to acknowledge and look away
One of the most successful deceptions of our time was getting many Americans to fear diversity more than racism, equality more than misogyny, democracy more than fascism, immigrants more than authoritarians, the poor more than corrupt billionaires, and empathy more than cruelty.
Horrific details of Trump’s abuse of an underage girl. She was interviewed by law enforcement multiple times; they believed she was credible. These pages are from 2019. Vile beyond description. Begins p 8.
This should be alongside every Iran headline.

@CraigSMorgan@JWPatarino Lots of commentators said the 1980 Olympic gold and 1996 World Cup win did not necessarily lead to a more popular NHL but it did lead to kids registering to play hockey. Guess we are seeing that again on the woman's side!
A white woman who is not a doctor and doesn’t believe in science is currently undergoing Senate confirmation hearings to be the US Surgeon General appointed under the president.
Black people, don’t EVER let any of these people tell you that you are a “diversity hire” or don’t deserve the roles you have so richly prepared for and earned.
USA women's hockey gold medalist @HilaryKnight describes her team's relationship with the USA men's team as one with a "genuine level of support and respect" that's being overshadowed by a "quick lapse."
"Our achievements shouldn't be overshadowed by anything else other than how great they are."
So there’s an uproar and an alternate “All-American Halftime Show” when the #SuperBowl Halftime Show features a Latin, Puerto Rican performer…in 2026, when POTUS and his supporters are spewing xenophobic, racist rhetoric.
Meanwhile, Puerto Rico is a territory of the United States.
As my father said, “Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.”
Notice how ICE hasn’t gone after the violent people in Colorado that took over the apartments. Remember how we heard so much about them?
Ice hasn’t gone after the people in Ohio eating the cats and dogs. Remember how much we heard about them?
They are not going after MS13, remember how we heard they are the greatest threat in the US?
80-90 percent of the Humans captured by ice are non-criminals by almost every measure except crossing an arbitrary line on a map. The detention conditions are inhuman at every facility.
Many POW camps were better than these places
ICE shouldn’t even be so much as touching citizens, let alone shooting them in the back like cowards.
If you cannot see this as a problem then there is no hope for you.
Very similar pre civil war. Poor whites that fought were big time illiterate and big time Jesus freaks. Church and knowledge have always been at war with eachother. Poor whites in the south thought they were fighting a holy war. That they were christian warriors fighting for the Christian way of life and that their deaths were christian sacrifices. Same as it is today. Red/southern states education standards are near bottom of the list but they are some of the biggest "christians" in the country. They use it as an identity. Their faith is loud and pushed and they use that faith to hide their hatred for others only in an attempt to prop themselves up. America has an incredible cult problem with a league of zombies who cant think for themselves.
No, they're not Navy Seals. They're not Delta Force. They're not going to fight terrorists, or foreign armies, or organized crime, or violent criminals. They have all that firepower to beat up grannies from Honduras, go up against 5-year-olds, and shoot Americans in the back.
