Home games against the Canucks are the best.

I'm predicting a 5-4 win.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Zatkoff down.

This is comical.

Too bad the Kings aren't playing Nashville tonight, per Poile 'a lot of players' sickened by food poisoning (believed to be chicken soup)

I wonder if he doesn't have enough players , do they have to forfeit? or reschedule?

And hopefully the injury poltergeist doesn't hit Budaj ...

Zatkoff down.

This is comical.

So Campbell in or who's the emergency backup at this point? Ranford?

Emergency backup- If you mean if Budaj gets hurt, every NHL arena has a 'house backup' , that suits up for either team if called for.

Groin injury for Zatkoff, per Sutter

Back in 1998-99, the Kings had no contigency plan. But now, like the Panthers, the Kings would dress their goaltender coach, Bill Ranford, and have him finish the game in goal.
“I’m on the same contract as Robbie Tallas for both guys (Jonathan Quick and Martin Jones),” said Ranford. “I always have equipment packed, for that reason.’

Dusty Imoo, the Reign's goalie coach, will back up his son Jonah tonight.

I didn't want Zatkoff to start tonight, but I didn't want him hurt either. :|

 

[Draft Dynasty]

Is Budaj confirm starting tonight ?

 

[kingsholygrail]

Coming off the win in Dallas, I imagine Budaj will start.

 

[USE Fi]

Is Budaj confirm starting tonight ?

Yes Budaj was going to start even before Zatkoff got injured.

Ranford already warming up just in ccase, playing today in Edmonton in the Alumni game

Bill Ranford is keeping the Oilers alumni in this game through the 1st 8 minutes. And I sincerely apologize for this tweet. #NHLJets



Looks like he was a bit rusty

Illegal Curve Hockey ‏@IllegalCurve · 35m35 minutes ago

#NHLJets alumni make it 2-0 as former 1.0 Captain Kris King gathers his own rebound and deposits it past Ranford.

This is the first one I'll have a chance to watch all 60 mins of this season... school has been wrecking my ****. Always look forward to the 'Nucks-Kings matchup.
