I picked a theme for the game.

I picked a theme for the game.

Was that the one where you get Ken Daneyko because he was a 63 rating or something and had a crazy ass slapshot?

Looking at the Pacific division stats.

1) I fully underestimated AZ ability to suck.
2) The new playoff format makes it impossible for an entire division to tank in the same year. Top 3 make the playoffs.
3) Oilers are kicking some ass. Is this the year they make the playoffs?

OK Brown! We let you skate by with a secondary assist last game. Get us a goal or primary assist this game!!!

Not sure. It's the one that introduced trading and custom players though. Still not sold on the Oilers. Still early in the season.

[LAKings88]

It's a trap.

 

[KingsHockey24]

Gonna be a dog fight this year. I fully expect Edmonton to get in.

Thought Arizona would be better but it's early and Smith is out too.

KingsKnight. He has a life now.

Guys Nashville is still suffering from affect of food poisoning.. All you guys have to do is get them to OT and give the puck to Martinez!!

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

No expectations tonight. Just gonna assume we are boned so if good things happen it's a nice surprise!

That being said, no Weber to contain Kopitar...was just about the only elite d-man in the league that could hold him.

 

[Reaper45]

So at least one Subban goal so we can hear how he's better than Doughty.

4-3 Kings.

 

[Fishhead]

It's gonna be a bloodbath.

I know how to set my DVR to add on 30 minutes at the end so I don't miss the OT/Shootout, so I am covered there. Does anyone know how to program it to skip the 2nd period?

I had a dream that Brown laid out subban when he cut thru the middle at the blueline and knocked him out. (it was a clean hit) lol here hoping either brown or McNabb or someone else does it Go king go

this. I had heard over the weekend that the whole team was very ill and having trouble dressing a healthy lineup. Typically food poisoning is only 24 hour thing, so I would be surprised if this was still effecting them. Probably effects athletes more due to dehydration than others though.

why Subban is good for the league and entertaining as all hell to watch. I don't want him injured at all (unless we play the preds in the playoffs)

It'll probably be some 7-6 game again.

Not a fan of the Kings living by these 3v3 points. Get them if you have to, and they've been great at it, but they need to either score more, or keep more pucks out, with all the regulation possession they have.

I am not a subban fan Hes arrogant and rubs me the wrong way Some of his comments when he first got into the league showed disrespect for former players and again rubbed me the wrong way.Also not a fan of his rover playing defense Sorry just not a fan

Yeah our games with Nashville are nearly always goofy. Don't expect this to be much different especially with the usual early-season shenanigans.

I'm not as worried about the 3v3 though because it's not like they're falling apart or something. THey're letting goals in yes but it's not defensive/team issues that are causing it, it's mostly weak goaltending. We're also past the sample size where we can wonder if we're any good at 3v3, I know it's partially a coin toss but we're really damn good on it due to elite two-way possession players.

I had food poisoning once when I traveled abroad. It was mostly out of my system in 48 hours but I didn't feel good to great for a week. It totally drains you. As you pointed out I'm sure athletes get that part a bit worse even with the superb medical care.

I had food poisoning about 6 weeks ago and was sick for two weeks.

Kopitar's next goal will tie him with Gretzky for 6th on the franchise list.
