I find everything about that hard to believe, except for the fact that Brooks wrote it.Brooks writes:
Slap Shots has been told by two sources that the Kings locked the door to their locker room following a defeat on the road within the last two weeks so that Sutter could not get in and deliver what the players apparently expected to be another in a series of lectures/tirades.
As the tale was told, after Sutter finally tracked down an arena operative to unlock the door, he was greeted by three heavy waste receptacles lined up as barricade to what had become an empty room.

Fate is funny. He took ver a club of under achievers who were outside the playoffs, led them through the end of the year to lock up a playoff spot on the last day of the season and then onto their first cup. Reminded them when they were down 3-0 to SJS that they could win any game seven and they just needed to play every game as a game seven, led them to their second cup in three years, and now the players tune him out.
LA missed the playoffs and the excuses have started, they have played so much hockey, blah, blah blah. Detroit hasn't missed the playoffs in over 1000 years. Chicago still competes every year. LA lost because they are arrogant. They expected to turn it on at will and penciled in wins against Vancouver, Edmonton and Calgary to end the season. They mailed it in.
Sutter would be perfect in Toronto

Regehr to announce retirement now that season is done.

If ownership/management in LA makes a change behind the bench, they are retarded.
If the story is true and the players, who were totally unable to get it done before Sutter showed up, have tuned out the coach that brought them together and guided them to a pair of Stanley Cups in 3 seasons, I think there needs to be a change made on the roster.

Re: Around the league (signings, RFAs injuries)
Letsgokings.com has an interesting thread on their offseason. They want Brown gone, think he's a big waste. One guy even calls him "Fall Down Brown". Worth a read while waiting for the season to start. TBH, it sounds a lot like CanucksCorner in terms of challenges facing the team as their core gets older.Mëds wrote:If ownership/management in LA makes a change behind the bench, they are retarded.

Nicole Brown will have a meltdown of epic proportion if Dusty is traded out of LA.

Re: Around the league (signings, RFAs injuries)
Considering how that team has played on a razor's edge over the past 3 seasons, it was inevitable that Sutter's shine would start to wear off. Full credit for everything he did, I honestly think what Sutter did in LA was amazing. It's not often that you can point to coaching as the primary reason a team is successful / wins a cup, but in this regard I think a valid argument can be made. I remember listening to talk radio shortly after he was hired. They were making fun of him for saying the Kings' dismal PP didn't matter that much. They were wondering if the Kings would make the playoffs, and if they didn't, if Lombardi would be fired in the off season for hiring Sutter as coach. Team won the cup that year.BingoTough wrote:Letsgokings.com has an interesting thread on their offseason. They want Brown gone, think he's a big waste. One guy even calls him "Fall Down Brown".
