The next time you think things look grim for the Kings, keep in mind the Bulgarian women's hockey team, which lost to Slovakia 82-0 on Saturday.

Shades of the "Escort Service", circa 1994-1997.

Terrific. The Bulgarian women's hockey team sounds like a good fit for AEG and the new arena in KC.

Ouch! And I thought my team has had it rough at times. I don't think we've ever lost by more than 8 goals tho...

I work in a very calm, peaceful office setting and when I read that comment by 5thLine I think I woke a few fellow employees up and I swear I could hear birds scatter outside the window. Easily the funniest thing I've read in a while. Thanks for that.

LOL Cloutier must have been in net for the first 82 shots on goal & then replaced with their backup.
