The Royal court declares it Capital murder GNT

[Ho_Brah]

Yeah, Yeah, I know this game isn't on for another 24 hours or so. But I'm looking forward to this game in the worst way. Kings MUST come out of this game with 2 points. Kings need to play 60 minutes of hockey.

Keys to success?

Scratch Westgarth and dress Richardson. Westgarth is a waste of a roster spot, doesn't bring anything offensively, and to say that he is an energy guy/agitator is absurd.

Change up the PP unit, it hasn't been effective at all this entire season.

Stay out of the box, although the Caps have a worse PP% record than the Kings, and our PK unit is playing well, lets not take stupid penalties ok guys?

Shoot the puck! Point shots! We have some mobile d-men with great shots out there, USE them more.

KOPITAR WAKE THE FUCK UP.

New lines for tomorrow afternoon:

Handzus-Kopitar-Simmonds (now I'm really confused)
Clifford-Loktionov-Brown (At least Lokti is in his true position)
Smyth-Stoll-Williams (what else is new)
Ponikarovsky/Lewis/Westgarth/Richardson/Sturm (Westgarth needs to fuck off)(Sturm isn't playing)

Bernier in net


I can't wait till the Kings prospects start to ripen...

That's a lot of dough hanging out on the third line...

Creating a GDT the day before the game is bad juju. As a Sharks fan that means rep!

lmao nice photo.


I really think the Stoll line is the top line.

In reality I seems like Kopi got demoted to the 3rd line. which is a smart move by Murray hopefully to wake his ass up.

As long as Westgarth is out of the line up I will be stoked.

I'm a desperate man.. I've tried same day GDT, No GDT, these Kings are so inconsistent it doesn't even matter anymore.

Per the blog Westgarth is in. With his speed, passing skill, shooting ability and long hair* Kings are a shoe in to win.

*one out of for ain't bad

Westgarth has some of the best hockey hair in the league, though...

 

[Ho_Brah]

In addition to the new lines for the Kings, they also have implemented a new pre-game warm up.

 

[elocomotive]

Boom!

Vintage Ovechkin goal. 1-0 Caps.

(right past Doughty to boot)

 

[Ho_Brah]

shit

 

[Ho_Brah]

It amazes me how he(ovechkin) can get that shot off while having the D-man in his face.

 

[JustAsking]

I may have the game, player, and year wrong.. but here goes.

I think all OV did to study hockey was to play EA mid 1990's hockey game and was Jeremy Roenick (blackhawk days) All you had to with JR was come down the wing, cut into the middle, shoot and he always scored...

He's actually struggled with it this year. It's his skill that makes it happen. You're afraid to poke out b/c his lateral movement is so quick. But guys have been defending it better this year, and partly b/c Ovechkin's control has not been as strong.

Right, b/c that's the only way he scores.
