Wing-in-avs-town

Or we get a shot on net!

Can we also put to rest the Jimmy Howard is average crap. This team was totally out of gas, and he comes up huge.

There's a little lesson for us in faith.

Listening to the game, the Kings lines today are:
Clifford-Kopitar-Clifford
Clifford-Clifford-Clifford
Clifford-Clifford-Clifford
Clifford-Clifford-Clifford

I can't believe people can watch Howard play games like this and say he's average.

For the first time this season... we won because of our special teams!

Thats a great way to start the home stand, way to get the 2pts boys!!!!!!!

Wings' Johan Franzen will face no disciplinary action for spearing Blues' David Perron last night, as NHL said no hearing scheduled.



Which is rightfully so. Perron boarded mule...mule speared perron...mule was kicked out of the game. And thats that.

Wow, 2 1st period goals! I may go out and get some lotto tickets between periods

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, don't jinx it

I never thought I would say this but I miss Sammy. I have never been a huge Samuelsson fan but he can provide secondary scoring. If I am Babs, I would sit Cleary....sorry to all the fans of 11,but he has been terrible. He turns the puck over constantly. He makes misguided decisions with the puck....and he has lost a step. He and Miller have been the biggest disappointments so far.
When Helm is back wit h Samuelsson, bring up Nyqvist and sit Cleary. To me he is the obvious choice although I know he is fan fav and he is trying but at this point, he is a liability even in his own end where he was an asset.

I say sadly because he certainly should NOT be our best defensemen. Plain and simple. If Lashoff is our best defensemen, that's just sad. I love the guy, and I think his play has been outstanding. That's exactly why I brought him up, but it is a sad fact when he's our #1D right now. Kronner has looked absolutely AWFUL this season. You can see that he's scared to even attempt to hit due to everything being called, and he looks like a lost duck out there. Right now, he can't be our #1D. He simply isn't shutting down any top lines right now. Ericsson is clearing the crease more than damn Kronner (which i'm loving seeing Ericsson actually moving people). Hell, Quincey has used his body more in the crease than Kronner. There was no excuse to rest your back against Iginla last night. You should NEVER have a forward inbetween you and your tender, you need to be the middle ground. The sad part was, he sat there back against him for a solid 5+ seconds.

Not quite Murphy's law, but I blame Murphy's new glasses for all of this. Just can't look @ him and not giggle :-)

At least we are winning faceoffs

Poor Jimmy, I kinda feel bad for him. He is getting no help at all1

No S***, me too. Don't know really what to think right now.

How this guy doesn't play every game especially over emmerton is beyond me. Emmerton is invisible, does nothing with his minutes. Eaves shoots and can kill penalties... And compliments Helm most of all better than anyone. I liked Cleary with them solid line.

First White blocking a shot with his face and now this. Although it was a horrific scene, this just shows how much heart the team has to sacrifice themselves to block a single shot. I'm sure Eaves didn't intend to block it with his ear, but every time a player blocks any shot they risk having something like that happen. That, to me, shows they have heart, not to mention balls!
Get well soon, Patty!

It was a weird injury. At first he was down on his hands and knees as he reached up to grab his ear. But after about a second or two he passed out and "star-fished" on the ice. It looked like he was out cold for about 5-10 seconds. Then he came to and kept kicking his legs.

The player that shot the puck was 21 year old rookie Roman Josi. Josi was quite the class act, he went over to Eaves as he laid on the ice and he also went over to Eaves as they roll him off the ice and gave a stick-tap to the stretcher. Josi looked like he was going to throw up, he felt so badly about accidentally injuring Eaves.

I hope Eaves is alright.

Dats was solid, but I think Drapes played a more important role. 13 simply did what he had to do, but Draper is playing some of his best hockey, EVER!!!

Boy will he be surprised in the morning
