NEWS/NOTES

• The Nashville Predators defeated the Anaheim Ducks last night by a score of 5-3. 13 different players registered a point for the Predators. Scott Hartnell reached another milestone playing his 1,200 career NHL game.
  
• The Nashville Predators are not where they want to be after making their first Stanley Cup appearance this past summer after losing the Pittsburgh Penguins in 6 games.
  
• The predators bounced back after a rough loss to San Jose earlier on their California road trip and are looking to build off their win last night. Pekka Rinne got the call last night and one would assume Jusse Saros will be the net minder tonight.
  
• The Kings got sweet revenge on the Toronto Maple Leafs Thursday night by defeating them 5-3. While it was a strong win, the Kings left their foot off the gas at times and will be looking to shore up the defense.
• Darcy Kuemper was reported to be first off the ice at morning skate so it looks like Quick will take a rest tonight.

I know he will and needs to get into some games but a non back to back seems strange.

 

[Legionnaire]

Go Arnie!

And go Amie too!

 

[Sol]

What is the latest on Gaborik and Carter?

We should win this

 

[Stimpythecat]

Stevens is trying to rest quick more. I can understand it. I don't have to like it but I understand it.

 

[tsanuri]

What is the latest on Gaborik and Carter?

We should win this

Gaborik is skating but hasn't practiced yet. Think Stevens said he's hoping for him to maybe see a practice next week. And they'll then see if he's ok after it.
There were reports that Carter was at the game Thursday and was on a riding scooter. So looks like he's still aways off.

 

[Kings4thecup]

Rinne played last night, so probably another back-up. Keep the hot streak going. It's real fun when they go up 5-0, so lets see that again. GKG!

Another 3 weeks before a b2b.

 

[kings11]

I think we bludgeon them tonight... expect the offense to go ballistic... just my opinion

I am guilty of the same thing sorta when it comes to the kings. I wear my purple and yellow hat for all games so far this season. I also turn it backwards for pk and pp. Funny the things we do as fans to continue our luck. lol I also type shutout shutOUT SHUTOUT to a friend if we haven't score half way thru the 2nd lol

Haha. For sure. Three exclamation points when posting in threads always followed by a Let's Go Kings!!!. Kill, Jeff Kill, when he's playing and we need a score. When I'm out it's usually my Richards Jersey and black Kings hat and like you it gets flipped or removed for luck. Haha. We so crazy. lol

Right? The hard part is trying to explain it to other people. At least we get it. I mean even the players have their superstitions so I don't feel so bad. lol.

 

[Sol]

Why is Fantenberg out? Weird decision.
