Scribe: If the Kings practice tomorrow, I might head down there to get some interviews.
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 8:02:07 PM

sneak: The Stars announcers on XM had good things to say about Doughty; "he'll be the last Kings' player to wear #8." The also quipped that JJ & OD were the least effective pair of Kings D-men. Always interesting to hear what the "other" announcers have to say about our boys. Good on Bernier for the win!
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 7:55:10 PM

Oldtimer: Scribe: The Ducks were only three points out of the final play-off spot going into the break. Won something like seven games in a row at home (I think). The wheels have come off the wagon lately. Something changed?
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 7:48:19 PM

Scribe: Oldtimer: Nah. They've struggled all year.
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 7:43:57 PM

Oldtimer: The Ducks had what, seven Olympic players on there team? Could be there just out of gas. That's one of the things the owners were concerned about going into the break. Could be some truth to it?
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 7:41:25 PM

Scribe: It was lowdrive's fault that the Kings didn't win it in regulation! :-)
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 7:37:55 PM

jgonz69: don't forget Zatkoff
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 7:37:19 PM

naturallawyer: Well, off to the beer league... See ya later...
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 7:35:16 PM

naturallawyer: And didn't Hradek pick the quacks to make it to the Conference Finals or even SC Finals? Of course, almost every hockey "expert" completely missed half of the top-8 in the Western Conference in their predictions.
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 7:34:43 PM

naturallawyer: It's funny how the Sharks' announcers and the NHL On The Fly guys were heralding the dux as the most improved team after the trade deadline, and how they all expected them to make a run. Even though I've already announced their demise, the Preds can put yet another nail in that coffin tonight.
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 7:32:52 PM

Oldtimer: DL must be smiling, depth at the goal tending position. Three NHL goalies wear the King's logo. Who would have guessed it? Super!
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 7:31:40 PM

naturallawyer: Kings back in 4th where they belong.
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 7:28:49 PM

notko1: Crawford must be living a nightmare seeing what the Kings have become and he's steering a franchise that is rudderless
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 7:26:08 PM

notko1: Reminds me of the Kings of past years, trying to spin one point as a good result. Way to go Stars
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 7:23:37 PM

naturallawyer: Quick and Bernier have already been a tandem in Manchester. IIRC, they played well when pushing each other. Could be fun next year. Lots and lots to debate about the goaltending, and it looks like we have a pretty good one still in Manchester in Zatkoff.
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 7:19:16 PM

kingfan_98: later cats, i got stuff to wrap up before i head home...
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 7:19:01 PM

NoCloutier: Bernier looked very cool out there. Didnt flinch in the shootout.. I was very impressed.
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 7:18:46 PM

kingfan_98: kfl: bernier was awesome.
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 7:17:18 PM

jgonz69: they will get a great player when they trade quick. LOL
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 7:16:53 PM

naturallawyer: Bernier was really impressive in that shootout.
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 7:16:17 PM

kingsforlife: I couldn't watch the game but it sounded like Bernier was nails. Thoughts?
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 7:16:00 PM

naturallawyer: A really delayed feed...Bernier looked awesome.
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 7:15:35 PM

kingfan_98: kings just equaled their own record for road wins in a season, at 21
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 7:15:32 PM

naturallawyer: Stoll!!!
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 7:15:12 PM

jgonz69: goalie of the future?
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 7:15:02 PM

Scribe: Cliff: keep up, will'ya? :-)
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 7:14:54 PM

kingfan_98: what did i tell you guys?
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 7:14:43 PM

naturallawyer: I think last year Simmer completely toasted Turco in a shootout. Let him try...
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 7:14:34 PM

Scribe: woop!
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 7:14:26 PM

kingfan_98: w0000000000000000t!!!!!
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 7:14:20 PM

kingfan_98: nl: no kidding
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 7:14:08 PM

kingsforlife: Stoooooooooool!!
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 7:14:06 PM

kingfan_98: too many moves, kid
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 7:13:58 PM

naturallawyer: Can somebody give the rookie some goal support? Geesh...
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 7:13:33 PM

kingfan_98: sheesh
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 7:13:29 PM

kingfan_98: modo stoned!
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 7:13:02 PM

kingfan_98: weak sauce, smyth
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 7:12:27 PM

kingfan_98: nice save
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 7:12:00 PM

kingfan_98: dammit brownie
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 7:11:24 PM

kingfan_98: nice. here we go for the win
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 7:11:01 PM

kingfan_98: wow. jj looked like he was sleepwalking there
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 7:10:34 PM

Scribe: Great save by Bernier
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 7:10:18 PM

kingfan_98: nicely played, bernier
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 7:10:01 PM

Scribe: No move at all by Kopitar. :P
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 7:09:39 PM

kingfan_98: well, bernier's first faced shot was directly into his pads. way to go easy on him, dallas
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 7:09:29 PM

greenking: a couple of times, I played in upland at the olld 99 center
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 7:08:58 PM

kingsforlife: gk: Where did you play roller at? Anaheim?
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 7:07:08 PM

naturallawyer: Now we'll really get to see Bernier's skills.
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 7:06:05 PM

Scribe: The Kings had better win the shootout. Nothing less than two points is acceptable against Dallas at this point in this season.
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 7:05:34 PM

naturallawyer: Jones is an adventure in OT.
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 7:02:49 PM

naturallawyer: I'm fine letting the Stars have a point, but the Kings have to get a win tonight. How good is Bernier at shootouts?
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 6:58:29 PM

Scribe: aren't = are
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 6:56:36 PM

Scribe: Kings aren't losing all the physical battles in this period.
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 6:56:23 PM

greenking: williams has seemed okay
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 6:52:41 PM

naturallawyer: Let's hope these refs don't work any Kings playoff games. They've been terrible in several instances.
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 6:52:25 PM

greenking: kings look shelled
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 6:51:37 PM

Scribe: That was NOT holding the stick. Phantom call by the ref there.
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 6:49:06 PM

Scribe: Wow...awful call.
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 6:48:41 PM

kingfan_98: farking greene
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 6:48:23 PM

Scribe: It's all Dallas.
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 6:48:19 PM

naturallawyer: Jones looked absolutely pathetic right there.
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 6:46:23 PM

kingfan_98: look at that. bernier is nails.
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 6:45:48 PM

kingfan_98: although there's a part of me that wants to see bernier in the shootout, i think we'll pull it out before then
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 6:44:45 PM

kingfan_98: someone needs to tell the clowns in dallas that 'sandstorm' was fresh about ten years ago.
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 6:43:38 PM

kingfan_98: nl: don't worry, we'll win. i have faith.
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 6:42:35 PM

naturallawyer: Big PP coming...
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 6:42:03 PM

Scribe: Kings need to score on this power play...badly. Dallas is dictating the pace.
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 6:41:20 PM

jgonz69: Passive? I say they are working on playoff hockey.
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 6:37:45 PM

Scribe: It'll be lowdrive's fault, so KF is safe. :-)
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 6:35:16 PM

naturallawyer: kf98: you better not have jinxed us. :-)
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 6:32:44 PM

kingfan_98: oh eff me
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 6:32:22 PM

Scribe: The Kings are totally passive. Playing not to lose now.
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 6:32:08 PM

Scribe: No interference call? And...that was coming...the Kings are not doing anything.
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 6:31:47 PM

kingfan_98: wow. kings are 25-0-0 when leading after two. not even a stinkin' tie. unreal. who would have thought?
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 6:23:44 PM

Grinder: Severyn stunk on Ducks telecasts. Now he's stinking up Texas.
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 6:19:25 PM

Scribe: So that's where Brent Severyn ended up.
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 6:18:13 PM

Grinder: Oh, maybe it was stat that found it was working. Anyways...
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 6:14:26 PM

Grinder: Scribe: You'll have to ask NL about that...
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 6:13:50 PM

Scribe: Awwww...when did that feed become available?
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 6:13:29 PM

naturallawyer: I have a beer league game tonight, and another on Sunday. I don't play roller anymore. I'm too dangerous on roller. :-)
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 6:10:25 PM

Grinder: Here's the feed that NL is watching... www.atdhe.net
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 6:10:02 PM

naturallawyer: Bernier has been in control and confident. Looking good.
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 6:08:36 PM

greenking: KFL i play ice, used to play alot of roller but the rink in my area went out of business.
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 6:08:24 PM

kingfan_98: kfl: seriously. you will not be disappointed. unless you don't like bleu cheese.
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 6:05:55 PM

Grinder: End of 2nd period...
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 6:05:31 PM

Grinder: You have to think that the Kings players are very confident in Bernier seeing how he's handling the puck.
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 6:04:41 PM

Grinder: The Kings are managing the puck and clock very well so far.
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 6:03:43 PM

accustat: nice hit on ribero from zues
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 6:02:54 PM

Grinder: Bernier's glove is solid.
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 6:02:26 PM

kingsforlife: Anyone on the RT play any roller hockey or just ice? Personally, I play both but I play ice far less frequently these days.
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 6:02:23 PM

accustat: and que the baby waking......
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 6:01:03 PM

accustat: non sopcast feed now at atdhe
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 6:00:48 PM

Grinder: Scribe: Seeing that I'm giving up 35+ pounds, I'm just being smart.
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 5:59:32 PM

Scribe: Grinder: chicken! :-)
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 5:58:58 PM

Grinder: Scribe: I sub about once a month. It's the lowest level and the goon that jumped me isn't playing this season. :-)
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 5:58:31 PM

naturallawyer: Bernier is gobbling those pucks up really well. Good stuff.
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 5:58:23 PM

Grinder: kfl: Nope, 3 ice rinks - one's Olympic and the ex-roller rink is ice and I think being expanded in size.
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 5:57:52 PM

kingsforlife: kf98: Shit, ok. I'll compromise at two. ;)
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 5:57:28 PM

Grinder: Robidas grabbing Kopi like he's a cheap date. ;-) No penalty.
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 5:57:11 PM

kingsforlife: Grinder: Does Lakewood still have the roller rink next to the ice rinks?
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 5:57:07 PM

kingfan_98: kfl: they are freaking awesome. you must try three one.
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 5:56:41 PM

Scribe: Grinder: I thought you retired?
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 5:56:34 PM

Grinder: Wow, Stoll nailed one of the Stars in the corner. No penalty.
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 5:56:14 PM

Grinder: Dude, Bernier not giving up rebounds on point shots.
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 5:55:17 PM

Grinder: kfl: Nope, Lakewood Glacial Gardens
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 5:54:43 PM

Grinder: O'D throws the puck into his usual corner of the D zone and nobody's there. Get a clue, Sean!
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 5:54:26 PM

kingsforlife: Grinder: Where do you play ice at? TSC?
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 5:54:23 PM

jgonz69: kings are gonna have a problem soon, although a good one. who are gonna go with Quick or Bernier? they can't keep both, but they can get a great return from either one.
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 5:53:55 PM

Grinder: Whoa, JW didn't have the speed on a possible break. Thank goodness he didn't get injured!
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 5:53:46 PM

kingsforlife: kf98: Don't tell me how good those Wendy's burgers are. I've been trying to avoid those like the plague. They look too damn tasty haha.
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 5:53:27 PM

Grinder: Curling looks like something that would be fun to play.
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 5:52:48 PM

stephan: how has williams been doing?
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 5:52:44 PM

stephan: 2nd goal please!
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 5:51:55 PM

jgonz69: I'm comfortable with Bernier in there.
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 5:51:05 PM

kingfan_98: i am gonna start curling though :D
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 5:50:37 PM

kingfan_98: grinder: yah, i really miss that. i kept all my equipment just in case, but i have a bad disk at c4/c5. it's no use to me :-(
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 5:50:17 PM

Grinder: Stars go offsides on a possible 3-on-2...
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 5:50:08 PM

Grinder: kf_98: That's a bummer. I'm going to play ice hockey tomorrow night. Only play about once a month right now.
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 5:49:07 PM

Grinder: Oh, shot was blocked so the Kings still have no SOGs in the 2nd.
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 5:48:33 PM

kingfan_98: grinder: it's great cardio. i was in a bad accident, so i can't play hockey any more. low impact is the only workout i can get :-(
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 5:48:25 PM

Grinder: 9 minutes into the 2nd and the Kings might have gotten their first SOG this period.
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 5:47:39 PM

Grinder: Excellent. I need to start exercising regularly myself.
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 5:47:02 PM

kingfan_98: yup. i've been going 3 days a week now since octoberish. it's definitely noticeable...
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 5:46:23 PM

Grinder: Ott busted for elbowing Clune. PP Kings.
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 5:46:22 PM

Grinder: Good deal. That's motivation and a reward for your workout.
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 5:45:34 PM

kingfan_98: grinder: it's friday, plus i swam today. friday is my pig out day, i can eat whatever i want :D
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 5:44:53 PM

Grinder: kf_98: Damn, that's quite a dinner.
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 5:44:03 PM

kingfan_98: or a period.
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 5:43:40 PM

Grinder: JJ backchecks and then weakly tried to clear it up the middle. Geez...
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 5:43:37 PM

kingfan_98: oops. dropped a comma after maybe...
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 5:43:31 PM

Grinder: Back and forth action with nothing dangerous...
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 5:42:55 PM

kingfan_98: grinder: maybe i washed dinner down with a six pack of white powdered donuts and a large americano coffee. i should be lifting off within a half hour ;-)
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 5:42:10 PM

Grinder: Icing Stars... Kings without a SOG yet in the 2nd.
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 5:41:06 PM

Grinder: Freakin' O'D... good thing it didn't cost a goal.
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 5:40:36 PM

Grinder: kf_98: Are you going to have a toxic seat cushion again? ;-)
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 5:39:59 PM

kingfan_98: *urp* man, i ate too much for dinner. but damn, those wendy's bacon & blue cheese burgers are AWESOME
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 5:39:22 PM

Grinder: Bernier lost his stick, but the Kings cleared the puck down.
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 5:39:16 PM

Grinder: Damn, Stoll's clear ended up on one of the team benches.
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 5:38:07 PM

stephan: kf98: just read how to do it...too heady for me today..my week beat me up!
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 5:37:55 PM

Grinder: Bernier covers the puck after a hard bounce off the end boards.
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 5:37:28 PM

naturallawyer: Wow, I am very much trailing Grinder's feed.
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 5:37:09 PM

Grinder: Benn in close and the Kings collapsed on him.
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 5:36:50 PM

Grinder: Stars go tic-tac-d'oh! as Modano's pass for Neal on the far post didn't connect.
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 5:36:31 PM

naturallawyer: Kings are getting hosed by the refs.
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 5:36:29 PM

Grinder: O'D clears it down and Modin is out of the box...
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 5:36:03 PM

Grinder: Self-clear by the Stars, but now Brown is going to the box for tripping! 7 seconds of 5-on-3.
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 5:35:39 PM

Grinder: Stars not too effective on their PP so far...
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 5:34:59 PM

naturallawyer: I'm still trailing Grinder's feed. Oh well, better than missing the game altogether.
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 5:34:28 PM

Grinder: Damn, Modin called for hooking on the 2nd period faceoff.
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 5:33:30 PM

naturallawyer: Something tells me I'll be watching the Versus games in the playoffs through this method. Stupid DirecTV.
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 5:33:04 PM

naturallawyer: stat: that's how I'm running it now, and it looks good.
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 5:32:25 PM

accustat: kf98, when it worked for me, it was great. i ran it through WMP and it was flawless.
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 5:30:59 PM

accustat: when operating on 4-5 hours of sleep in a 24 hour period for 3 weeks, you sorta get all cro mag in your logic and just need certain things to work. this cro mag just wanted to watch some hockey while infant crying macheen slept
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 5:30:15 PM

kingfan_98: sopcast is awesome. that's how i watch all the premier league matches :)
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 5:28:10 PM

accustat: NL, ive used sopcast before with my old machine...with my new one, not so lucky...theres some setting that i need to readjust. i just cant figure out what preference it is
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 5:28:09 PM

kingfan_98: stephan: just read that mac users have some way of using sopcast. try google, you might come up with something.
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 5:27:37 PM

accustat: how has williams looked?
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 5:27:17 PM

kingfann: How's Bernier looking?
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 5:26:53 PM

naturallawyer: Thanks kf98. accustat: I downloaded sopcast earlier today so it's not a problem for me.
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 5:26:41 PM

Grinder: stat: I think NL is running IE and Sopcast so he should be okay...
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 5:25:07 PM

accustat: NL, that utilizes the sopcast though...at least tonights link.
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 5:23:17 PM

Grinder: Interesting to watch Lehtinen after he lost an edge undercutting Bernier and dislodging the net. Lehtinen and another Stars player took a look back to see if he had gotten under Bernier's skin. Bernier never lost his focus.
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 5:22:44 PM

kingfan_98: nl: try the direct link. atdhe is just bogarting this link: www.ndsportstalk.com
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 5:22:36 PM

stephan: i love my mac :)
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 5:20:40 PM

naturallawyer: I think my sopcast feed is behind all of the rest of you somehow. I'm watching via atdhe.
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 5:20:21 PM

Grinder: Looks like the 1st intermission entertainment will be a computer smackdown. ;-)
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 5:20:03 PM

kingfan_98: KIDDING
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 5:19:13 PM

kingfan_98: stephan: well what are you running a mac p.o.s. for?
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 5:19:03 PM

stephan: but kings up 1-0 thats all that matters :)
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 5:18:23 PM

stephan: not my day!
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 5:18:01 PM

kingfan_98: stephan: you can't, unless you're running internet explorer, which i doubt you are.
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 5:17:17 PM

Grinder: 7th round pick or nothing, he's been a great fit!
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 5:17:10 PM

naturallawyer: Scribe: I think we gave up too much for him. :-)
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 5:16:53 PM

kingfan_98: grinder: lol. actually, i started my post with a 'w' inside my html tag and had to go back and correct it :0P
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 5:16:47 PM

Grinder: That hit might give Brown good motivation for the rest of this game.
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 5:16:46 PM

Scribe: what an acquisition Modin has been so far.
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 5:16:32 PM

stephan: kf98: trying to figure out how to watch sopcast with mac..
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 5:16:24 PM

naturallawyer: Good to see Brown back on the ice, too.
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 5:15:47 PM

Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 10:28:59 AM

htxt: azking: Agreed. The elite defensemen are rarer than forwards, and usually play more minutes in more situations. I feel like defensemen can continue to play at a higher level much later in their careers, since so much of the position is based on reading the play and making that first pass.
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 10:28:12 AM

azking: As much as a guy like Stamkos is great, Doughty really gives us a guy you can't get everyday. I think of how guys like Lidstrom, Borque, etc. have made their teams. A complete Defenseman is so hard to find. You could go 10 years and not draft one and then have to pay an arm and a leg to trade or sign one.
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 10:24:00 AM

naturallawyer: Sunday's game is going to be really tough. Nashville gives us fits, and with daylight savings time and the noon start, the team is going to feel like it's playing at 11 a.m. (and we know how bad they have been with mid-day starts, even though they have been better lately). Further, Nashville is only 1 point above 9th place, so they are playing for their playoff lives. That game will be a huge test, and we need to beat them for our own psyche as well as for the points.
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 10:21:33 AM

naturallawyer: kfl: No kidding. That's a solid lineup and a very talented fourth line. Only Clune is playing on an unnatural wing (he's usually LW), but his job is to hit people and be a pest, not score beautiful goals. To think we had Harrold-Moller-Purcell on the fourth line earlier this year. I like this lineup, and I hope TM sticks with it.
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 10:13:59 AM

kingsforlife: I can't remember the last time the forward lines looked so solid from top to bottom. Now if we can only get Jones out for Drewiske. www.lakingsnetwork.com
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 9:58:10 AM

naturallawyer: I look forward to Hickey getting a healthy season. He looked good at the rookie camp, directing traffic and showing some leadership to the others. I hope he turns it on statistically in the AHL next year.
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 9:55:59 AM

esaki: It is what it is. Long way to go on Hickey, and the only guys who we passed on who are clearly better, and who would have made sense at that spot in the draft, are Voracek and Alzner (neither of whom are great shakes). No, I'm not including Sam Gagner.
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 9:41:00 AM

naturallawyer: If DL could've predicted in advance that we'd get Doughty (and how good he'd be), I think he might have picked somebody else over Hickey.
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 9:17:55 AM

htxt: NL: I think of you have to choose between an elite blueliner and an elite forward you lean towards the Dman, especially when you're building a team. But if you were a team like Nashville with Weber/Suter you'd pick Stamkos and be just fine.
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 9:04:08 AM

naturallawyer: I'm actually really glad the Kings didn't end up with the first overall pick. If DL had picked DD, everyone would have wanted to kill him, especially after the Hickey pick. If DL had picked Stamkos, we wouldn't have DD, who I still prefer to Stamkos, even though you can't really go wrong with either of them.
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 8:41:11 AM

htxt: azking: I always wonder what Lombardi would've done had the Kings won the lottery and picked 1st overall. Something tells me he would have still chosen Doughty (and given how well Doughty has turned out nobody would fault him for doing so). But man, Stamkos could hit 50 goals this year.
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 8:24:02 AM

azking: Man, Stamkos really showed he was worthy of his draft slot. Talk about a guy who turned it on after a slow start. I thought at one point he would be moved and someone would get him for a steal. Too bad he is fucked for life on a shitpit of a team.
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 8:16:16 AM

htxt: Bernier in net tonight, according to Pierre LeBrun.
Friday Mar 12, 2010 - 7:24:14 AM

kingsforlife: Thank God the Sharks won. The Kings can't really afford to finish 6th or 7th and I doubt they'd drop till 8th (even though the Sharks wouldn't be a bad draw). Can't imagine they would fare well against Chicago or Vancouver.
Thursday Mar 11, 2010 - 11:36:55 PM

Thursday Mar 11, 2010 - 10:32:04 PM

vbing: TM keeps Jones around so that the forwards are reminded that they need to backcheck ;-) I don't think that he was too bad in the Hawks game - it was more a case of poor decisions and backchecking by the forwards than blueline issues.
Thursday Mar 11, 2010 - 8:23:55 PM

vbing: JB is an emergency call-up, so he doesn't count against the 4 callups that teams have after the trade deadline (the Kings only have 3 left). Giving him the start is a reward for his hard work and great attitude on the farm.

The unfortunate thing about being in the hunt this year is that the Kings will not have much opportunity to look at the young D-men.

Thursday Mar 11, 2010 - 3:57:04 PM

Thursday Mar 11, 2010 - 3:09:38 PM

naturallawyer: Richie-Halpern-Parse is a dangerous scoring threat for a fourth line. Every one of those guys has been on a first or second line (with TB or LA) at some point this season.
Thursday Mar 11, 2010 - 3:07:48 PM

naturallawyer: The lines are shaking out just like we thought. Richie back to the fourth line with Halpern and a spot up for grabs (Clune/Parse/Ivanans). Richie can play LW and C, and Halpern can play RW and C, so TM can plug in a wing on either side and be ok. www.lakingsnetwork.com

Thursday Mar 11, 2010 - 12:26:19 PM

htxt: Williams coming back is huge. I just hope he'll be at full speed by the time the playoffs roll around. The old rule of thumb is to take the number of games you were out, divide by two, and that's how long it'll take to get all the way back. Guys usually come back, have a few good games while the adrenaline carries them, and then dip a little before climbing back.

Scribe: Williams returns tomorrow.
Thursday Mar 11, 2010 - 12:13:13 PM

greenking: WOW, if I were erik I would be pissed, but who cares we just need 2 points.
Thursday Mar 11, 2010 - 12:11:33 PM

htxt: So Murray's leaning towards Bernier for the start tomorrow? If I were Ersberg, I'd be a little bit angry about that.
Thursday Mar 11, 2010 - 12:10:42 PM

greenking: I think we need to pay lowdrive to start going to the other team.
Thursday Mar 11, 2010 - 12:06:23 PM

Scribe: As GK said, it was really lowdrive's fault! :-)
Thursday Mar 11, 2010 - 11:58:16 AM

htxt: There's plenty of blame to go around on that goal. And of course it would be Sharp scoring the winner. I swear, I wanted the Kings to trade for him just so he would stop doing this to us. Hey, it worked with Smyth...
Thursday Mar 11, 2010 - 11:56:18 AM

htxt: Richardson made a boneheaded play, but at least one of those defensemen had to stay home. Of course, those are the two defensemen on the Kings with the worst hockey sense, it seems.
Thursday Mar 11, 2010 - 11:55:19 AM

greenking: I blame lowdrive
Thursday Mar 11, 2010 - 11:54:11 AM

kings#7: Scribe: When is it ok for Both Defeseman to be ahead of the puck?? Especially on the other side of the redline? Never, in my opinion.
Thursday Mar 11, 2010 - 11:47:28 AM

Scribe: kings7: can't really blame the defensemen on the OT goal, though.
Thursday Mar 11, 2010 - 11:38:57 AM

kings#7: Thanks htxt.. and ya, who knows why they were both out there.
Thursday Mar 11, 2010 - 11:20:39 AM

kings#7: No way NL... you gotta watch those highlights again, Brown was getting in deep to cover Jones' man because Lost him on both plays. Notice on the goals, that Jones is not near any blackhawk. He is just Horrible.
Thursday Mar 11, 2010 - 11:20:10 AM

naturallawyer: The playoffs are all about avoiding the little mistakes that cost you games. I wouldn't mind seeing Harrold (who is less mistake-prone) over Jones, but not sure if Harrold could handle the physical intensity of a playoff series.
Thursday Mar 11, 2010 - 11:16:59 AM

htxt: k#7: I think it was Jones/Johnson on the ice. As for why those two were both on the ice at the same time, I have no answers.
Thursday Mar 11, 2010 - 11:14:59 AM

naturallawyer: I'd blame Brown more than Jones for those regulation goals. But Jones was on the ice for the OT goal as well.
Thursday Mar 11, 2010 - 11:14:48 AM

kings#7: I also think that come playoffs, a defender is better than an offensive Dman. So they need to get Drewiske or Harrold into the line up NOW, so that they're confident and ready to go in the postseason.
Thursday Mar 11, 2010 - 11:11:55 AM

kings#7: Does anyone know which two Dmen we had on the ice for that overtime goal?? I'm watching the highlights and they fly by way too fast ahead of the play for me to read their numbers. Also, both regulation goals were jones'man scoring, while Jones' was skating around lost. I fckin hate that guy. At least Harrold will defend. Adding Modin and Williams equals more offense, which equals we don't need Jones' minimal offensive help.
Thursday Mar 11, 2010 - 11:11:07 AM

kings#7: I don't think Harrold has done anything wrong this year.. I'm talking about him as a Defender.
Thursday Mar 11, 2010 - 10:56:49 AM

notko1: Ersberg is good size its just that Quick is really big
Thursday Mar 11, 2010 - 10:54:24 AM

greenking: I think we should bring harrold in, I agree he is much better than jones on both sides of the puck, and you know what your going to get.
Thursday Mar 11, 2010 - 10:50:44 AM

Scribe: KFL: That is the plan.
Thursday Mar 11, 2010 - 10:45:51 AM

kingsforlife: I'm convinced they are going to run with Bernier in Manchester, for better or worse. Look what Carey Price has become after getting shelled in his rookie year in the playoffs once MTL threw him in after he had a good rookie regular season and they ditched Huet to Washington.
Thursday Mar 11, 2010 - 10:44:04 AM

Scribe: greenking: It was schroeder. You know how he gets after overdoing it in the Yurt Industries product testing lab. :-)
Thursday Mar 11, 2010 - 10:37:01 AM

greenking: someone on the RT asked for modry............. I am going to store and getting water and fall out supplies.
Thursday Mar 11, 2010 - 10:33:44 AM

naturallawyer: I've got no complaints if it's Ersberg. And I still expect a win over Dallas. Hopefully the team will play better team defense for the rusty goalie. You might also see Williams on the first line, which would be awesome for the first line and for Brown.
Thursday Mar 11, 2010 - 9:55:01 AM

Scribe: It'll be Ersberg. He's earned it.
Thursday Mar 11, 2010 - 9:50:02 AM

naturallawyer: Commenters at Hammond's site brought up a good point. If Quick gets hurt in the playoffs, would they play Bernier or EE for the rest of the playoffs? If Bernier, then he should get the start tomorrow.
Thursday Mar 11, 2010 - 9:48:27 AM

ericd: I'm so full of positive thoughts that my sphincter is sparkling... heh...
Thursday Mar 11, 2010 - 9:45:47 AM

naturallawyer: The Kings' website lists Bernier as one inch shorter, but 20 lbs heavier, than EE. Is JB really shorter than EE? EE seems SO small.
Thursday Mar 11, 2010 - 9:45:45 AM

ericd: unless of course EE gets shelled and then we may get to see Bernier...
Thursday Mar 11, 2010 - 9:43:33 AM

naturallawyer: I'd like to see Bernier get a shot, but I'm skeptical that he will. EE has been paying his dues sitting on the bench always ready to play. TM will give him his monthly chance to start, because I doubt he'll get in there again.
Thursday Mar 11, 2010 - 9:36:59 AM

naturallawyer: Quick back in LA for his wife's child birth, Bernier to Dallas... www.lakingsnetwork.com
Thursday Mar 11, 2010 - 9:34:50 AM

schroeder2: Please put Drewiske in the freakin' line up...I'd even take Harrold over Jones...Heck. Where's Modry? Somebody find him....

Wednesday Mar 10, 2010 - 11:54:07 PM

ericd: getting a point when they were oushot and out played is a good thing... even so the goal in OT was a shocker of a giveaway and messed up defensive coverage... then again if Greene doesnt screw up in the 2nd who knows...
Wednesday Mar 10, 2010 - 11:52:52 PM

Scribe: Murray had a good one-liner after Monday's game...about Frolov's burst of speed down right wing..."Did you ever see him skate that fast down the wing before?" He was serious and joking at the same time. :-)
Wednesday Mar 10, 2010 - 11:32:16 PM

lowdrive: Good find NL. Looks like he has the perfect attitude for a veteran rental.
Wednesday Mar 10, 2010 - 10:28:09 PM

naturallawyer: Here's a nice article about Modin fitting in with the club. sports.espn.go.com
Wednesday Mar 10, 2010 - 10:21:02 PM

naturallawyer: Brown had a weird game. A goal, two defensive gaffes, and a rare retaliation fight. Hopefully all the wingers learned tonight that they have to play solid defense, especially against a team like the Blackhawks.
Wednesday Mar 10, 2010 - 10:11:15 PM

Scribe: The Kings are third...27.6 shots allowed/game.
Wednesday Mar 10, 2010 - 10:02:54 PM

kingsforlife: Not really a fan of this quote from Brown: Well take it. We want two, but at this point in the year, you take whatever you can get. I thought we battled hard. One mistake and its in our net, but mistakes happen in the game. If we dont make that mistake, maybe we go to a shootout and win, but we battled hard. It just didnt go our way. Seems like the attitude of the defeated. Where's the killer instinct? It's playoff time, boys.
Wednesday Mar 10, 2010 - 9:47:26 PM

kingsforlife: I'm sure TM could not have been happy with Brown's poor defensive plan either. He was piss poor on Sharp's first goal and Versteeg's goal.
Wednesday Mar 10, 2010 - 9:45:19 PM

kingsforlife: chiboy: Absolutely. Amazingly, the Kings are allegedly second in the NHL (to Chicago) in SOG allowed per game. Sure doesn't seem that way.
Wednesday Mar 10, 2010 - 9:44:45 PM

naturallawyer: Jones was -3. I bet Drewiske gets his shot next game. At least, if he's healthy, he deserves another chance now.
Wednesday Mar 10, 2010 - 9:26:27 PM

naturallawyer: "You've got to stop and you've got some responsibilities away from the puck. Then the attempted pass is something that you'd like to not see," Murray said. "The backhand pass through the middle of the ice is a hard one to make. I know what his intentions are, I know they were good. But just on the other side of the checking part of it, we wanted to make sure one of our defensemen is back defending." scores.espn.go.com
