[shadow=Silver]KINGS look to beat AVALANCHE, something they had trouble with last year.[/shadow]
[fieldset=COACH & PLAYER QUOTES]

"There is definitely more value given to each game, but that doesn't change your approach. We struggled up and down last year. It's a matter of rebounding and staying in the field."

"We took a moment to appreciate it, to look back, but now we've got to move forward, If we use last season as a focus and a crutch to lean on, we're going to be out of this season pretty quick. I think most people expected to be a little rusty and I thought both teams were, we made more mistakes, but at the end of the day we have to clean up our act."

"You have to get used to getting knocked down and getting back up."

"I think our top players can all be a lot better.”

[shadow=Silver] LET'S GO KINGS !!! [/shadow]

- UPCOMING SCHEDULE -

NOTE : Regarding LARGE SIZE IMAGES / YELLOW RE-SIZE IMAGE BARS ABOVE PICS, let me offer up one nice little suggestion ...
This will get rid of those pesky yellow resize bars over the top of some larger pictures ... as they annoy the hell out of me and maybe they do you also ?
- Go into/click on your "USER CP" {control Panel} up top left in the red bars
- on the left under 'Settings & Options' click on "Edit Options"
- scroll down to 'Thread Display Options', and then 'Please Select the Resize Mode'
- click on the 'Drop Down List Box' over on the Right of 'Please Select the Resize Mode'
- select it to "KEEP ORIGINAL SIZE"
- SAVE your selections !
There ... now don't that look MUCH BETTER

[SuperAlmeida]

Hands down! Brilliant PuckU!

 

[damacles1156]

Thank you Puck, it looks great.

Awesome job bravo....

 

[Inner Turbulence]

Excellent work !
Hope you are somewhat wrong about the lineup though. The 4th line caused som havoc against the Hawks ... and it gets broken up ? Hope not. I'd rather scratch Gagne than put him on that line in Clifford's spot.

 

[ru4reals]

Awesome as always Puck but isn't the game on Tuesday? No biggie just wondering.

 

[pRisly]

Awesome as always Puck but isn't the game on Tuesday? No biggie just wondering.

It is already tuesday

 

[FrozenKing18]

Awesome job as always Puck!

 

[Kings4thecup]

Bounce back game. GKG

 

[kingsholygrail]

Restart the season tonight! GKG!

 

[Nefarious]

Seems like it took forever to get to today. Here's hoping for a rust-free game!

GKG!

 

[Lyndon Slewidge]

Kopi playing tonight?

 

[Captain Mittens*]

Kopi playing tonight?

He's playing bass in a Credeence Clearwater Revival tribute band tonight

 

[Lyndon Slewidge]

He's playing bass in a Credeence Clearwater Revival tribute band tonight

I don't think any points from that will count in my fantasy pool

 

[Reimer]

Is Kopitar expected back tonight?

 

[Telos]

Kopitar will be on the ice. We got this! GO KINGS!

 

[Lead Role in a Cage]

Clifford is pretty much the last guy I would scratch. Hope you're wrong and a great GDT. Many thanks.

 

[123slam]

Great job Puck!

I had no idea that Landeskog was their captain. Happened September 4, 2012 I'm reading. Youngest captain ever. Young kid, huge future.

4-1 Kings.

 

[YP44]

Clifford is pretty much the last guy I would scratch. Hope you're wrong and a great GDT. Many thanks.

Agreed he seemed to be one of few playing hard last game.
I will be watching with an Avs fan so need the Kings to stomp them.

 

[Martyros]

Is Kopitar expected back tonight?

Yes.

 

[Reclamation Project]

Coach Sutter - "Bring it or watch!"

 

[123slam]

Can I suggest this as our new GDT theme?



Hold nothing back, Leave it on the ice
Honour satisfied, Leave it on the ice

 

[TwzKing]

I keep picturing the sea gull gif from whatever animated movie. Kopi Back over and over

 

[Reaper45]

I would've scratched King instead of Clifford.

 

[no name]

Too Long in between games. Lets make the wait worry it.

 

[SuperAlmeida]

I'm really nervous about our PK tonight. Greene was a force on that!
