Imagine thinking Taylor Swift is why the Kings suck.

Quote:
The Los Angeles Kings aren't taking any chances with the Taylor Swift "curse."
After winning the Stanley Cup in 2012 and 2014, the Kings haven't gotten out of the first round of the playoffs since a banner commemorating Swift's sellout streak at Staples Center was raised in August 2015. Swift might sing "Don't Blame Me," but Kings fans do.
The team is trying to shake it off by covering the banner with black cloth, leaving a blank space in the rafters.

If the team is trying to cover up the banner, it's a lot more than just Fans.

For sure, but I doubt the organization instigated this.

Thats actually hilarious!
Who cares? Its just a funny superstition. They found a commonality with their decline in form and they're latching onto it.

Maybe raising banners to celebrate concert sell-outs is the real problem here...Who started that trend? It's stupid.

I want to say this was originally Edmonton’s dumb idea.
Please let it be Edmonton.

Yeah my point was that they all do it because it's a stupid thing to have in the rafters. I don't think the organization itself believes its a curse do they? Do the Lakers and Clippers also view it as a curse?

Is she related to Jonathan quick? They should be covering him up during games. He's been absolutely terrible.

Banners commemorating sellouts of concerts are stupid to begin with so I don’t have an issue with this.

There are rumors that Doughty once dated Swift.
