It's game day, 7pm start on FDS. Nothing planned in the Puck household except the game and Del Taco, don't feel like cooking tonight. Had the usual annual bloodwork done last week, all good sans high cholesterol. Going to celebrate by stuffing my face with a Del Combo burrito, 3 tacos and chili cheese fries. If there's one thing Ox and Pucky Sr taught me with their deaths, it's life is short. Enjoy the steak, buy the Harley, go on that vacation and eat that f**king Del Taco.

Nothing really new to report except Laferriere is out with a UBI, presumably from the McJesus play. He stands up for himself and what happens? Seems like Jill benched him and that led to the 4v4 goal. I don't think that's fair at all, punishing him. I've liked Laferriere since day 1, like him even more now after getting in McJesus' face. Don't like how he was treated.

Kuemper the likely starter and the 11/7 again with Jeannot moving back up with Foegle and Buster and TOTM dropping down with Fiala and Dunno. Helenius is back in the line up to center L4 and Jeannot the likely wing who will rotate in with them.

Vancouver has only won 3 of their last 13 but get this: 5 OT losses. That's worse than LA numbers and that's just the last 13. My point: they're due, that regression stuff only stays for so long so I expect a vigilant effort from the Canucks tonight. Expect Thatcher Demko, another Junior Kings product. Good goalie.

Prediction: Kings 4-2, back to the W column. Goals by Kempe, Spence, Fiala and TOTM who desperately needs a goal with an *actual* goalie in net.

Let's Go Kings!

I mentioned this in that game thread, Now I'm Hoping he said he hurt something and that's why he was sitting..... Because otherwise I have zero problem with what he did

Dude has been completely MIA since his "breakout" 3 point game against Edmonton Dec 28 that I attended. That was almost 3 weeks ago.

Typical, he disappears for way too many games at a time. He should be pissed Turcotte is making things happening and he isn't.

Turcotte doesn't have his own line, he doesn't get PP time, he isn't out there for mostly offensive zone opportunities. Buster flat out needs to start producing.

I was laughing at that assist, I had to watch it again. Shot on goal from 50 feet, misses the goal, hits the glass, Canuck chips it back and Foegle scored.

To me enough time passed where he shouldn't have gotten the assist but whatever makes the Buster apologists happy I suppose.

Was over in the first 10 minutes, how many times have we as fans experienced that? Nice to see the Kings come out and assert themselves hard.

Vancouver definitely didn't play well but dems the breaks. One more game on this road trip, finish it up at .600, nice recoveey after 2 losses.

Looks more and more like an Oiler post season
They showed a clip of Doughty skating
No pads
Defense has not needed him. Does he help the offense?
No way the trade him
