Game day, B2B for LA with some travel but not much. Going to miss half this one, Pucky Jr I turned 14 today so we're all going to dinner. Ms Ex Puck has a new dude, met him briefly at one of the boys' Pop Warner games earlier this season but haven't seen him since, interesting cat but he will be joiningus tonight and I plan on getting to know him more since he's around my kids. Quiet as a mouse, no tats, Muppet hair cut, passive, completely opposite of me. She said yeah, that was the point.

=)~~

Kuemper expected in goal tonight and Fiala also expected in the lineup. His absence jumbled the lines are bit as Lewis was expected to be scratched but the Fiala situation forced him into the lineup. Hope HOS 2.0 gets a night off being a B2B but we all know Jill loves his veterans. I think Thomas has a strong showing last night and would be disappointed if he is scratched.

Not sure if anyone noticed last night but Buster was back as C3 late in the game and Turcotte was elevated to LW1 with Kopitar and Kempe. That line looked good, Buster seems to be a drag on any line he is on this season for aomw reason. Curious if Jill keeps that set, and Thomas was paured with Dunno and Moore and that line produced the first goal. This dude puts stuff in a blender more than a bartender with a margarita.

Vegas is off to a great start, and that clown Stone leads the NHL with 18 points. Pearson and McNabb expected in the lineup tonight. Will be a tough one again, the Vegas defense is a great mix of size, speed and skill. When you scratch Theodore because of illness and still manage to whoop LA 6-1, that's some solid depth. Kings will have issues in the neutral zone with transition and getting to the net and heavy traffic areas.

Prediction: Vegas 4-2, and Stone burns the Kings again. Kings goals by Fiala and Kempe.

Let's Go Kings (would say Dodgers too but they're already down 4-0 early, looks like they'll have to win it in LA in G6. Darn)!

Watched the replay late last night, Buster trying way too hard to wind up and go through 5 guys by himself. He also directly contributed to two GA that Vegas scored.

I dont know what's going on with this dude but 0G/5A/-1 in 10 games isn't cutting it and most of those are secondary assists. Freaking Edmudson and Anderson are tied or ahead of him on the stat sheet including goals, I fully believe he should ride some pine for a game or two to step back, watch and refocus.

He's nowhere near a $6 million player at this point, and so much of their success will depend on him. Guys are being moved around (Turcotte, Laferriere, etc) and making contributions or creating so that excuse won't work with me.

Flat out needs to be better.
