i really hope that these guys go this summer:

Scuderi
McNabb
Schenn
McBain
Greene

and never come back

i'd be fine with carrying just 3 defensemen next season

Why McNabb? he is put in a position over his skill set currently,.
How on Scuderi/Greene?

 

[HansH]

Expecting another frustrating loss on the way to Dance Party IV in the first round.

A month and half later, it doesn't look good. Gaborik skated "a little bit" on his own Wednesday, according to Coach Darryl Sutter, but that is one of several steps before he is cleared to join teammates for a full practice.

With six games remaining in the regular season, the clock is more of an opponent than an ally.

"There's no way a player, unless he can play regular-season games, I have no interest playing him in the playoffs," Sutter said after practice in El Segundo. "None. We did that before. If you look back … it's very difficult to put players in.



i dunno why this bothers me

Gaborik's presence is so important, i really wanted to believe that he'd be ready come playoff time

Didn't stop him from inserting Simon Gagne into the SCF after having not played for 6 months. But yeah, different circumstances etc.

 

[OvermanKingGainer]

Just an ugly stretch.

And that doesn't even account for last nights blowout and b2b!

HIlarious stuff

One correction Ortio is our starter and has been since Ramo got injured.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Even Jim Fox is getting exhausted with McNabb bobbling simple passes.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Can the Kings not commit a penalty when they're hemmed in their zone?

Yes but you wouldn't like it

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Yes but you wouldn't like it

I wouldn't like them not committing penalties? I guess the PK could use some work so might as well treat these games as practices.

 

[volcom92886]

They look pathetic

Yes but you wouldn't like them letting a goal against

 

[TonySCV]

They look pathetic

Started right with McNabb's bumbling turnover the first shift of the game.

3 shots in 13 minutes.

 

[KingsFan7824]

At least they had an extra day of rest.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

You could tell the players don't care to get up for these games in late March/April, just like every game since clinching.

 

[HookKing]

Great pass from Brown, too bad the flame defender isn't invisible.

 

[Bandit]

Handling the puck like a 12 year old boy unsnaps a bra.

 

[kingsfan28]

This game is going just as we al expected. Ornio is on top of his game again. The Duck were up 3-0 at this point last night.

 

[KingsOfCali25]

Kings telecast stat guy is having a rough year. Has had some mishaps this year but the last one was great...

Joni Ortiz lost Feb. 23 at Kings, stopped 35 of 27 shots faced

Haha wat?

 

[HookKing]

Jeez.

 

[HansH]

Joni Ortiz lost Feb. 23 at Kings, stopped 35 of 27 shots faced

Don't question it -- he's just.... that... good. *chuckles*

 

[kingsfan28]

"The Kings are coming close..." how many times have we heard that over the past 5 games.

 

[Bandit]

Kopitar hooked all over the place. No call.
