There was a sentiment that lack should start the first game of this back to back since all hes had so far this year was the second game which has been a no chance at winning proposition

But i agree with botch and yes i have started drinking the miller-ade

Miller has to start tonight ... Too hot not to

Remember when Eddie Lack started the game against Tampa on HNIC? That didn't work so well - I think they do have to go with Ryan Miller tonight

Like i said above, the lightning game was the back end of the back to back. Lack was in net with tired teammates in front of him. So thats why they were thinking of going with lack tonight to give hom some confidence as the team would be fresh


But this plan changed after millers great game v san jose

So IF lack starts tomorrow (which again wont be fair to him so i have a feeling they might play miller again v ducks) theyve put him in a shitty spot

That being said, the Kings are coming off a loss and they've had lots of success against the Canucks so that makes it for an interesting dilemma

Doughty over/under at 35min?

they got anyone who can drop back to d?
I know in beer-league 12+6 is a lot easier to roll than 13+5

Any chance Dustin Brown accidentally on purpose runs into 'The Miller' tonight?

well Miller weighs a buck-seventy, so yeah there's a decent chance.
not saying Brown picks his spots, but Brown picks his spots.

Dustin Brown could fly by Ryan Miller and the wind would knock him down

They were talkin in the cesspool the other day that miller hasnt been touched at all this season to date (thats what she said)

Teams were always in bobbylous kitchen. Thought for sure sharks were gonna crash the crease thursday but i guess they were too busy shootin pucks and shit

/there was a goalie interference refresher vid sent out to teams in preseason though

 

[davnlaguna]

Kings with a 3 goal lead.

That was a great period by the Kings.

 

[davnlaguna]

Bad ice today.
Clippers game this afternoon. Rumor is the change over took a longer than normal time. covered longer.
That means slow ice tonight.
With the Kings missing a Dman it could help.

 

[dash]

4-0 Kings (Toffoli)

 

[mattola]

Class is in session.

 

[dash]

43's favourite King just made it 5-0

 

[davnlaguna]

5-1
Usually I don't know if it was the Kings got better or the Nucks got worse as the game went on, but this time it was both.
The shot totals were 36-19 (I think)
Now take your anger out on the Ducks

 

[Cobiemonster]

Nice to see the Kings play really well in a game like this - Canucks are much better and improved so this was a good test - and with just five d-men, they did a pretty nice job

Now they'll get a little bit of rest before the big matchup on Wednesday
