Since the 1993 run, the Kings have made the playoffs in:
•1998 (swept in first round)
•2000 (swept in first round)
•2001 (lost second round in 7 games to eventual Cup winning Avalanche after upsetting favored Detroit in first round), and
•2002 (lost first round in 7)
•before the last three years featuring another pair of first round exits and this year’s STANLEY FRIGGIN’ CUP CHAMPIONSHIP.

was the beginning of the fire sale which paved the way for the dark ages of Ferraro, Yachmanev and Burger King jerseys.” This made me cringe.

I also remember the hopeless and empty feeling I had when Gretz was traded. I just knew we were in for a long haul. And watching the championship blu-ray reminded me that the Kings went 18 freakin’ years without going to the playoffs! Long haul indeed. I had forgotten about that thanks to Lombardi and now the cup! :-)

Fri, 27 Jul 2012 15:05:00 +0000 http://www.mcsorleys-stick.com/?p=10530#comment-3494 wow…the dark days of being a Kings fan. I remember when Gretz was traded and I was pissed. I hoped he’d do well but you could see the Kings swirling the bowl and sure enough they pulled the lever and let it all drain away. That was the decade of trading away your draft picks and bringing in the third line “journeymen character guys”.
It was hard being a fan back then but it paid off in the long run and someone finally had the patience and know how to do it right…thank you Dean Lombardi.
