kipwinger 8,440 Report post Posted January 27, 2015 Slightly off topic, but this is hilarious. Also, we all need to take a minute and acknowledge the real victim here...Jeff Carter. What the hell is he going to do without his wingman? 3 F.Michael, Smite and FireCaptain reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kipwinger 8,440 Report post Posted January 27, 2015 Yeah, victim. This perfectly illustrates my point. No way can Carter handle all four of those intelligent, young ladies. Two, maybe. But not four. Which is why he needs his wingman? And where is his wingman? Cooling his heels in Manchester, New Hampshire. Now Carter is going to have to try and entertain all four of those women by himself. It's a tragedy. 2 FireCaptain and F.Michael reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's a tragedy. Doesn't Jarret Stoll play for LA? And BTW, why does the Kings affiliate play in New Hampshire? Their call ups must be jet lagged by the time they enter the lineup.

Their call ups must be jet lagged by the time they enter the lineup. I'm about 90% sure Jarret Stoll is dating, or married, to Erin Andrews. So common beach bimbos are likely beneath him lol. But not Carter and Richards...oooooh no. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jesusberg 1,256 Report post Posted January 28, 2015 I usually hate these "a source has told the [insert media outlet here]" rumors, but it would make sense. Calgary has the space, and they've been open to taking on bad contracts for assets in the past.http://www.calgarysun.com/2015/01/28/flames-talking-to-kings-about-richards?

haroldsnepsts 4,826 Report post Posted January 28, 2015 Lombardi gave Richards another shot to find his game when he didn't buy him out this past offseason, like many were hoping he would. I don't know what's going on with Richards but he sure didn't capitalize on that second chance. He was a big part of the Kings first Cup and still contributed in the second, but man has his game fallen off. I don't know if it's wear and tear or just Mule-itis since he has the fat contract and a couple Stanley Cups. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

haroldsnepsts 4,826 Report post Posted January 29, 2015 Buying him out last season would have been the right decision for both him and the kings Definitely. I'm sure he wanted to stay and the Kings did too. They just wanted the version of him from a few years ago. Lombardi made a sentimental decision and it's costing him. I'm sure some of it is Richards plays such a physical style and he's not a big guy. That's gonna take wear and tear and he's seen a lot of games in his 29 years. But it seems like it's got to be more than that for the wheels to have come off so fast. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But it seems like it's got to be more than that for the wheels to have come off so fast. I don't think it's a working out issue Otherwise Lombardi would have paid him out in the summer. Something really seems of here that decline was way too fast Almost reminds me on Morrow who's decline started at 28 and he never got his game back. Only difference Richards didn't seem to be injury prone. At this rate he will have trouble getting another contact Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Only difference Richards didn't seem to be injury prone. At this rate he will have trouble getting another contact A big problem for the Kings is that Dustin Brown has fallen off quite a bit as well. He brings other things to the team, but not really enough to warrant the contract he has. Between him and Richards, that's a lot of overpayment. As cnot mentioned, buying him out would've been best for both parties. The Kings would've gotten more cap relief (I think?) and he wouldn't have that contract keeping other teams from picking him up.

Reminds me of the crap the Boston media wrote about Seguin after they've traded him. He wouldn't be where he is now if he wasn't dedicated to fitness and work outs. If Richards likes to party so what every one needs a break here and there. If the guy gets his game back Kings will call him up as an option for the playoffs.
