@Rich_Hammond: The Kings can't call up a replacement if Regehr can't play. They're $160.00 short of having enough cap room. Seriously.

El Oh El.

El Oh El.

This season has been such a comedy of errors so far that this number is just following the script perfectly

 

[Scottkmlps]

Quick Dean, call somebody up and pay the $160.00.

[Reclamation Project]

One guy is 34 going on 340 and the other, well, at this point, who the hell knows...

 

[Trolfoli]

Just slap Forbort in a Regehr jersey... Problem solved... no way the refs catch it.

This season is getting ridiculous

 

[Kingspiracy]

If andreoff can play all three forward positions D will be a piece of cake, he'd be a 2nd pairing dman easily

 

[Reclamation Project]

Had a big LOL moment today at the mall. Some guy is walking toward me and we have eye contact. I noticed he had a Canucks Daniel Sedin player shirt on. He then puts this serious look on his face and I shoot him a really nasty look with the "What's Up Dude?!?" nod up motion. He looks down at his feet and passes me. I walk for a while and then realize I had a Kings hat and the 2012 Stanley Cup locker room shirt on. Felt good man.

Well played sir, well played.

The top guys on this team need to shoot the puck more. I can't understand why this teams power play is still so bad. It's been 4 or 5 years, and it hasn't gotten any better. If they could finally fix it, this team could get home ice in the playoffs. And Doughty would have a better chance to win the Norris trophy.

Doughty is a big reason the PP sucks, he has. No idea what a wrist shot is.

 

[CowMix]

Martinez can play both defense sides but can he play the both at once?

 

[Sleeping Dog]

Gotta think outside the box here - 3 forwards, 1 defenseman and 1Rover. The dreaded 3-1-1 trap. Just drop that in periodically during the game, see how the opposition deals with it. Then, on The PP, only 1 DMan. Gotta drop the minutes DD is getting. 30+ is too many.

Group Kopitar/Gaborik/Brown/Williams together, and Carter/Toffoli/Pearson/Richards. Put them out there with Doughty, Muzzin, or Martinez. Maybe throw out 3 forwards on a PK too.

When has a team ever gone 13F and 5D from the opening faceoff? It's not exactly a voluntary situation for the Kings, but it does open up different possibilities. Necessity being the mother of invention and all that.

El Oh El.

and this from LA Kings Insider article today:

According to Senior Vice President of Hockey Operations and Legal Affairs Jeff Solomon, the Kings will be $160 short of the necessary cap space to be able to recall a player with a league-minimum salary. Had the game against Vancouver taken place on Sunday, the Kings would have had enough cap space to recall a player, as a team’s cap space grows daily.

“The old term about being a day late and a dollar short is almost accurate to the penny,” Solomon said.

The hockey gods are just laughing their butts off somewhere south of My Olympus in a wine grove.

Wow.

So, the other five have to take up the slack, which means more minutes, more fatigue, more opportunity for injury.

Nice work Slava Voynov and Gary Bettman!

 

[Martyros]

Meh. Just dress the 18 skaters and take it from there. Can't really dread on this issue, given that no good would come out of it.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Doughty is a big reason the PP sucks, he has. No idea what a wrist shot is.

He also isn't decisive enough about his shot. He overthinks the whole PP. That giant windup would get blocked anyway, but when he hesitates to shoot for a second before it...

Regehr out; Kings will go 13/5 tonight. Darryl didn't specify on location of the injury but said RR is "day-to-day."

It's official.
