Huge game for the Kings. Calgary will be looking for blood and will play as if their playoff lives are at stake (they are). Kings need to play physical early and dampen their will to fight along the boards.
Quick will need to be great in the 1st period.
Go Kings!

ok not to be "one of those fantasy guys" but the guy im going against tonight has Jeff Carter and ive got Dustin Brown...if we could see a bit of a role reversal, ya know...maybe Brown finds his offensive game and scores a couple goals while Carter cools off, that'd be real helpful. Either way, bigger picture...Lets get another win tonight!
Watch Brown do the same thing again -- two feet from the goal and instead pass off to Carter for a tip-in.

After seeing that Calgary is 15th in the West in here, I checked the standings and realized that there's only 7 points separating 3rd (ignoring division leader seeding) and 15th.
3 points for 3rd to 11th! In contrast, 7 points gets you from 3rd to 8th in the East and 3rd to 15th is 15. Even more packed in the West than normal so far.

Too many 3 point games in the West. There are already 5 teams in the West with at least 5 "OTL". Another 3 with 4 "OTL".
There are 5 teams in the East with only 1 "OTL" and Pittsburgh as zero.
Overall there are 57 "extra" points in the West and only 37 "extra" points in the East.
We need to start getting losser points when we do lose.
I think this game will be a lot closer than other people on this board. In fact I am a little worried that Calgary will come out stronger than we will be able to match.

Reno Sucks!
He made an appearance at some sort of team function yesterday, maybe for STHs? I would think if he were seriously injured, he wouldn't have gone.

Richarsd is at practice

FWIW, Mike Richards is also taking the ice for the morning skate. Did FSW interviews at team event yesterday. Led to believe he's fine.

So...what? Why did we recall Toffoli? It's pointless to have him sit in the press box. It's arguably pointless to throw him into a bottom six role. Are we scratching Nolan, King, Clifford? Doesn't make a lot of sense.
Precautionary. It takes a while to fly from Manchester to L.A., and maybe they weren't certain if Richards would be able to play.
With us playign again tomorrow I would prefer Bernier to start tonight and Quick tomorrow.

I am also concerned about the way the first period unfolds -- the Flames will have had two days to have their discontent and frustration fester, putting a snarl on their faces. In the meantime, the Kings have had two days to kick back and feel like "these guys can't hurt us, we're bulletproof". If it were a playoff series, there would be a natural intensity on the Kings, a motivation to keep the gas pedal on the floor. But even though this is a shortened regular-season, it's still a regular season, so I'm concerned that the Kings might come out flat and/or overconfident, making those defensive breakdowns even more glaring and giving the Flames momentum.
Perhaps that's what bringing Tiffoli up is about? Put him on the ice in the opening minute and trust that his youth and adrenaline will motivate him to bring a jump to the Kings that might not otherwise be there?
I'm concerned -- I hope they make me look stupid for being concerned

Assists work for me as well...just pass it Kopitar instead of Carter, i got him on my team as well!
It seems like an adjustment to the way Bud Holloway was handled. The 1-3 days with the big team, sitting in the press box is a nice signal / reward for TT that he is well on his way. I'm thinking if Bud had received an empty call-up, even if it is just to sit in the press box for a game, he may have stuck it out for one more camp to see if he could stay with the big club.
As long as it is short term, I like the call-up, regardless of a little missed PT with Manchester. He has proven himself enough down there to miss a game or two and not have his development suffer IMO.

Pkay, why another 7:00 start? Saturday had a couple of excuses (HNIC and Hrudey night). What is it this time? (not that I;m complaining)
