- UPCOMING SCHEDULE & STANDINGS -

NOTE : Regarding LARGE SIZE IMAGES / YELLOW RE-SIZE IMAGE BARS ABOVE PICS, let me offer up one nice little suggestion ...
This will get rid of those pesky yellow resize bars over the top of some larger pictures ... as they annoy the hell out of me and maybe they do you also ?
- Go into/click on your "USER CP" {control Panel} up top left in the red bars
- on the left under 'Settings & Options' click on "Edit Options"
- scroll down to 'Thread Display Options', and then 'Please Select the Resize Mode'
- click on the 'Drop Down List Box' over on the Right of 'Please Select the Resize Mode'
- select it to "KEEP ORIGINAL SIZE"
- SAVE your selections !
There ... now don't that look MUCH BETTER

[YP44]

I do not have a good feeling.

 

[Turrican*]

I do not have a good feeling.

Said every Oiler fan.

 

[Muzzinga]

could really do with a win here. A loss in regulation officially puts me in 'starting to get worried' mode

 

[YP44]

Said every Oiler fan.

So nerves both ways. TSN stat guy tweeted that the kings are 7-0-2 in last 9 in Edmonton. Last time he tweeted something like that (that I noticed) was about how the kings were undeafeted in something close to 90 games when leading after 2...they lost that night to the Avs in regulation when leading going into the 3rd.

 

[kingsfan]

We'll win tonight. 3-1 or 4-2, something along that line. Aside from the start of the Chicago game, we've been playing good lately, and let's be honest, Chicago is tops in the league for a reason.

 

[Herby]

This is a must win for the Kings tonight. I think they know that and they will respond with a 3-1, 4-2 type game like kf mentioned.

 

[Muzzinga]

Fun facts, The Kings have the 2nd lowest PDO in the leauge (make a save please goalies) and Richards has by far the lowest PDO in the league, at an amazing 855, the next lowest is 880

That is just a whole new level of run bad. Hope he can start regressing to the mean tonight

 

[kingsfan]

What is PDO?

 

[YP44]

Gagne is scratched again? he did play poor against Chicago. He needed to take the body more. Seemed like he kept shying away from this.
I still like him over Penner anyday of the week though.

 

[YP44]

What is PDO?

http://blogs.thescore.com/nhl/2013/01/21/pdo-explained/

 

[Muzzinga]

On ice save % + on ice shooting %

Snipers like Eberle, Stamkos etc and players on teams with top goalies will naturally have above 1000 and bad players below. Its more of a luck statistic than anything though, just shows how lucky a team or player is getting. Unsuprisingly most Kings are below 1000 because the Kings can't score and the goalies can't save a puck

They will all end the season closer to 1000 though as the luck evens out

Or what Perro said

 

[JureEe]

Ryan Smyth says watching Kings win Cup was 'tough to swallow'



http://www.latimes.com/sports/sportsnow/la-sp-sn-kings-ryan-smyth-20130219,0,307128.story

Smyth acknowledged that he had conflicting feelings when the Kings succeeded last June. “I’d be lying to you if I’d be sitting here and saying I didn’t,” he said. “It was tough to swallow, for sure, but it was great to see some of my friends win it.”

 

[Puck U]

Ryan Smyth story ...

suck it Smythie

 

[KINGS17]

Just reading the Oiler GDT a bit. I hope Brown knocks the **** out of one of their kids tonight with a good clean open ice check.

How about their old man?

BTW, wager time. Who takes the first bad penalty Smyth or Stoll?

 

[Thrice]

There's a better chance Yakupov takes another victory lap on his knees.

 

[JureEe]

Stoll.. because Smyth is in press box

 

[KingCanadain1976]

I think the kings need this one. I just hope we can get out of the frist two mins and last two of every period without them scoreing. I m not sure on exact number but i know we ve giving up alot of goals in that time of the game. Its frustrating to see. Also think the kings need to win more faceoffs I think it would help if we can figure that out the better off we ll be. I do however see the kings win this one 5 2. go king go

I always like our chances on the road if we can get out of the first tied. Sutter is great at in game adjustments.
Last year Quick saved a ton of first periods for us, it would be nice if he didn't have to do that again but it looks like he will have to.

 

[YP44]

Just reading the Oiler GDT a bit. I hope Brown knocks the **** out of one of their kids tonight with a good clean open ice check.

I always like good clean open ice hits. So far bets this year Doughty on Datsyuk. Even though it was against us you have to love Pavel's response.

I know people think Brown is dirty and I could really care less if they think that. He has never been suspended or fined. Will he ever win a lady bing ....god no, he plays with an edge but of you take players like brown out of the game we will be left with soccer on ice.

 

[1dude]

crush yaku-d**che

 

[T-Funk]

For the record, Hordichuk and Omark aren't really on the team anymore.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

If the Kings blow this game, Sutter should force his players to skate from Edmonton to Calgary.

 

[YP44]

haha awesome.
Anyone else remember when we traded Conroy back to Calgary? The team had an off day between playing in Edmonton than Calgary. They speant the off day in Red Deer for Sean Burke's b-day. Conroy was traded and the team didn't bring him to Calgary with them. Conroy had to cab it from Red Deer to Calgary.
