Anze Kopitar: 52GP 6G 27A 33P (suppose to be number 1 center)

Dustin Brown: 56GP 9G 18A 27P (bounced around bottom six/top six)

My my, what a strange year.

Totally.

Take a look here:

He says he taking a clapper but we all know he can't aim on net to save his life. Stoll would be proud.

He also asks Lewis to take a shot at the Go Pro camera...yup, Lewis. That Lewis that currently has more goals than him. It's that sad. Thank goodness Lewis isn't delusional like him and he asks Pearson to do it.

Kempe still in?

 

[Omni Owl]

my team please win because i live you and when your sad i cry. Breathe win relax live repeat. First in best dressed naked. please be whiskey jpeg

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

I'm conflicted. I want the playoffs, but I also want change. I can't root against these guys to lose, though.

 

[theMajor]

just score first, for once

 

[johnjm22]

This is one of those situations where you're not sure what you want as a fan.

You want them to win because they're your team, but you want them to lose so it will force change.

Them winning and s the change I want

 

[damacles1156]

Winning removes the need to change anything.

Winning removes the need to change anything.

Or it can stall the changes that need to be made.

 

[Bubba Thudd]

ex-Avs kill the Avs every time. Budaj is getting a shutout.

If he plays. I'm hoping Zatloss gets a start.

Well, this is a little disconcerting.
I wonder with Zadorov breaking his ankle yesterday, if the AVs want a D even more badly and are softening a deal
for either Landeskog or Duchene to get Ladue? Something like Ladue + King + ? = Landeskog or Ladue + Kempe + ? = Duchene.

The fact that Rosen tweeted Ladue not on the ice 3 hours ago....and no followup "Ladue has a minor injury and did not skate due to that". Wasn't he fine at the end of the last game?

I wonder if the Kings were to make a deal with the Avs, give up our #1 and take their #2. Their #2 will be top of round 2 and not horribad. Just perhaps trading down about 6-12 picks, with the Kings finish up in the air.

Not sure even this can help them.

 

[The Pale King]

I hope Nolan can pick up close to where he left off before the injury. Was playing his best hockey since 2012.

I think they'll beat the Avs. The problem is that they might use up the whole goal-basket for the week.

 

[AlphaBravo]

This is a must win game. We already blew 2 pts on Arizona, can't lose this one.

 

[Bandit]

Afraid Carter might be running out of gas.

Arizona/Anaheim/Colorado. I expect we'll complete the trifecta.

 

[BigKing]

LaDue went hard into the end boards along with a Duck in the 3rd period on Sunday, if I'm not mistaken. Looked to be getting up slowly before the camera panned up the ice.

No replay so I assumed he made it to the bench with no problem. Someone might want to check his shift chart or something and see if he didn't play the end of the game.

Nolan is back? I'm the biggest Nolan fan on HF but I can't even believe the impact his absence has had on this team.

People are complaining that this team can't play Sutter Hockey. Nolan has been doing it since December.

Story of his career though...play well and then get hurt or suck and not get hurt. I highly doubt he'll be as effective the rest of the season but fingers crossed.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

LaDue getting hurt would be right in line with the rest of this season. How dare anyone play well without getting smoked somehow.

Edit: per the shift chart LaDue was out there with less than 2 min left so hmm

 

[KingsFan7824]

In the last 2 games in Colorado, the Kings have scored 2 goals, both on the PP.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Score first. That's what they should be concerned with right now. Play with a lead for the first time in several weeks.

Don't worry, I'm sure Colorado will. Oh, you meant the Kings...

 

[damacles1156]

Would be nice if Kopitar potted one today.
