Big Game Story: The Toronto Maple Leafs are making their first visit to Staples Center since Jan. 10, 2011, which was the last time they beat the Los Angeles Kings. L.A. won the first game this season, 3-1 at Air Canada Centre on Dec. 11. Toronto ends a three-game swing through California facing a herculean task; the Maple Leafs are trying to slow down a Kings team that has won eight in a row, including a three-game sweep of a trip through Canada. Los Angeles begins a five-game homestand. This Thursday (March 13) is LA Kings Legends Night presented by McDonald’s with Jim Fox being honored. As part of the festivities Kings fans will receive a Jim Fox Bobble Head. GO KINGS GO !!!

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

Wow, the Leafs are a pretty bad road team. Looking forward to seeing Jon Bernier back at Staples.
 
Leafs have been giving up a ton of shots. Hopefully that continues.

Their defense is a weak spot, no doubt.

Bernier has been very strong for the most part this year. If not for him, the Leafs are much lower in the standings.

They are a quick team, good in transition. Kessel has been lights out this year. He is a game changer so hopefully our guys can keep him in check.

Should be a good game.

I don't want to come into work tomorrow and listen to all the Leafs fans give me a hard time if they beat the Kings. Let's keep the streak alive :yo:
 
Main board topics after game:

Brown dirty
Nolan dirty
Quick lucky
Refs hate canada
 
Wow. Lots of story lines going into this game. Kind of bizarre.

-Quick is trying to win his 171st game, which would tie him with Rogie for most wins ever as a Kings goaltender.

-The Kings as a team are trying to win their 9th straight game, which would tie a franchise record.

-Darryl Sutter is trying to win his 500th game.

-This is Bernier's first start at Staples Center since being traded.

-Plus it's Jim Fox Bobblehead night!
 
Agreed--an interesting and exciting night. Looking forward to drinking with some canadians, but hopefully it's a Kings victory toast. Gotta stay pumped up, GKG!

Kessel, JVR, and Lupul scare me. They shoot very selectively and Quick can at times go down early.
Hopefully tomorrow people will be posting GIFS of the cookie monster.
 
On top of those story lines, we also get way better coverage than usual because we're playing a Canadian team.

Can't wait for this game!

Less noteworthy, but I hear we're also going for a 100th consecutive sellout.
 
One thing I miss about road games is, the early start times.

It's nice to get off work, and the game is starting within 30 minutes.
