Is it too early to start drinking?

Nothing official, but i think its Greene since Ontario is playing Gravel and LaDue at the moment.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

That implies one stopped after last night

any word on who's replacing McNabb tonight?

Rosen seems to think McNabb's injury is long term and he implied Gravel will be up soon, but as others have said, Greene tonight unless there's a shocker.

For those interested, he also suggested LaDue would be right behind Gravel, the org is impressed

any word on budja or campbell tonight?

 

[PJ Kings Hockey]

Ready for tonight's game against the BlockHeads. My most excited moment as a fan wasn't winning either of the 2 Stanley Cups, but beating the 'Hawks in overtime to win the 2014 Western Conference final. I knew we were better than the Devils and the Rangers, but not the Blackhawks. We were equally matched at best and they had defeated us in the 2013 WCF, making the 2014 rematch victory such a sweet one. I had a lot of respect for our nemesis.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Doesn't sound good.

All signs as fans speculate point to Budaj though.

would rather campbell to be honest like to see what hes got with a less then ideal defense. He should get more shots tonight with greene in

Its hard to believe DS will throw Campbell to the wolves for his first game unless he's convinced its hopeless. I think Budaj is in, the workload has been fairly easy for him so far. On second thought, he did put Forbert into the first game with Chicago on the road last year so who knows for sure.

On defense I think he goes with Doughty/Forbert, Gilbert/Muzzin and Greene/Martinez with other combinations occuring as DS gives the bulk of ice time to his top 3.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Nolan in.

 

[KingTrouty]

Dawdled, thanks for the GDT brother. That's very kind of you to take the time to start one up.

After last night, I saw some nice hockey, hopefully our boys can just finish. That's all we were missing.

Y'all get me (for better or worse) until the Cowboy's game

Go Kings?

 

[KingTrouty]

Hi Hook and Hi Raccoon

KC, good to see you in here, my man

I don't know how he's going to make the right side with Doughty, Martinez, Greene, and Gilbert.

(It's funny, is reason for joke.)

Doesn't sound good.

X-ray huh? No good.

We're so winning this game. Can't even tank right.

Edit: Forgot I was trying to be positive.

 

[Little Psycho]

Can't wait until Kane walks around Greene

Can't wait till Greene is sent down for Gravel.

We'll throw a parade if that happens

McNabb, the shoulder, collarbone, broken, dislocated, something. I don't know which combination would be worse, but it'll probably be the worst of the possible scenarios.

The Hawks have given up at least 1 PP goal in every game right? Their PK is at 50%, and also 50% at home. The Kings need to force them to take penalties, which means actually driving to the front of the net, and then actually taking advantage on the PP, which again, means driving to the front of the net.

Too many chances close to the net for the Blues last night. Can't do more of that against the Hawks.

We all know Toews is probably going to score his 1st of the year tonight, yes? I'm guessing first 5 minutes of the game. Keith too probably.

 

[KingsHockey24]

Would like to see Campbell get the start tonight, although I doubt Daryl puts him in.

 

[KingTrouty]

We'll throw a parade if that happens

I get float duty

Greene is a pylon, a plug. There is no hope with him, only that he doesn't cost us the game. God I hate the Hawks, I feel like we're gonna win this one, fellas.

Does anyone else feel like Toews is done as a legit 1C? Or is this just hateraide?

Good!!!

 

[HookKing]

Hawks will come out guns blazing.

 

[KingTrouty]

Hawks will come out guns blazing.

Our backcheck game will neutralize it, Hook. They have a **** ton of finishers, tho. That's where we might be ****ed. And Greene.

Never mind. Hawks may come out blazing.
