"They're just a team that, they're just annoying to play against really," defenseman Drew Doughty told LAKingsInsider.com after practice Saturday. "They run around, they finish all their hits. They're dirty in a little bit of ways. At the same time, they've got a lot of skill and they're a good team. It's not that they're a bad team to play against, it just [stinks] when you're getting hit so often. Every single guy on that team finishes. It's hard to play against, but it's something that as the game goes on you get used to and gets you more into the game."

At least if things go south I won't have to worry about having stayed up late. Hopefully we hit more instead of reaching with sticks. I know positioning is important but so is making the other team make mistakes.

This lineup really worries me; didn't think we'd be testing our depth as much as we have

A Jackets victory would please me greatly, especially with all the 'Lumbus and "who are they trading us for our next cup" crap from Kings fans. Humiliation for Carter would make it just that much sweeter. With all the injuries, it seems unlikely, but stranger things have happened, I suppose.

Let's just say I disagree with a lot of roster/line/pair decisions Richards makes.

Wait, can someone tell me what happened to Atkinson?
I was too tired and pissed off to continue watching after the 3-1 goal on Friday...

So with all that news today, here's a guess on what the lines will be for the first shift...


Hartnell - Johansen - Foligno
Calvert - Anisimov - Dano
Tropp/Cracknell - Letestu - Skille
Cracknell/Tropp - Chaput - Boll

Johnson - Tyutin
Murray - Wiz
Prout - Savard

Let's hope Wennberg being sent to the AHL also means Jenner and Dubi's Rehab are going well.

Someone help me....I think they said 5 week recovery expected for Jenner. has to be getting close to that time table if it holds......when was his surgery?

Thanks

Go Jackets!

He took a skate to the face Friday. It's only superficial but they're giving him time to heal a bit, I guess.

It was more than superficial as it took around 30 stitches for a 1 1/2 inch gash. I heard it was very deep and most of the stitches were internal. His eye was completely swelled shut yesterday so there needs to be some healing before he will be able to see 100%.

Holy hell, just saw Cam's eye on Blue Jackets pregame. It's damn near swollen shut. That looks extremely painful. Hopefully he has a speedy recovery.
