(Ed. Note: As the Stanley Cup Playoffs continue, we're bound to lose some friends along the journey. We've asked for these losers, gone but not forgotten, to be eulogized by the people who knew the teams best: The bloggers and fans who hated them the most. Here is ‘stace_ofbase’ of Battle of California and last year's Anaheim Ducks Eulogizer, fondly recalling the 2015-16 Los Angeles Kings.)

"To love and win is the best thing. To love and lose, the next best. To love and watch the Los Angeles Kings fade quickly back into irrelevancy, the best there ever was." - William Makepeace Thackeray

I believe that a Eulogy shall not be of mourning, but a celebration of life, and for the 2015-2016 Los Angeles Kings, there are many things to celebrate. For instance, the Kings' regular season effort was among the best that the franchise has ever seen. They flew out of the gate like a bat out of hell, and managed to win the Pacific Division with eaOH THIS IS AWKWARD. Okay so maybe they didn't win the Pacific Division because they lost a must win game against a non-contending and irrelevant Canadian team--thankfully the Kings haven't done anything like that before, because that would be embarrassing.

Ah damn, this is getting REALLY awkward.

If I've learned anything about the Los Angeles Kings, it's definitely that regardless of their performance in the regular season, they will be a dominant powerhouse in the playoffs every year--even the years when they don't make the playoffs. That's at least what the fans who are unaware of the 45 years of complete and utter failure keep telling me, at least.

It's no secret that the Kings' lineup has gotten significantly worse over the past two years, due to Dean Lombardi handing out hilariously bad contracts to Jonathan Quick, Dustin Brown, Drew Doughty and now Anze Kopitar, and being unable to re-sign their actual good players.

That is what we call in the biz a good ol' fashioned whoops-a-daisy!

The truth is that the Los Angeles Kings are so tight on money that they had to resort to hiring two people to 'Weekend At Bernie's' Rob Scuderi's rotting corpse and accidentally picked up Milan Lucic by confusing him with a trash bag filled with soiled diapers. The trash bag filled with soiled diapers was a pre-game request by Drew Doughty, who gets rather fussy without a snack.
