Well **** me. But according to most, Muzzin is an idiot and we all know he's physical so really what's the difference between him and Greene anyways?

 

[Captain Mittens*]

Good times!

I'll make that trade.

 

[Chazz Reinhold]

Does anyone even know what happened to Greene? I feel like he played the whole game on Saturday.

 

[damacles1156]

Lets see if Muzzin cannot turn the puck over every time he touches it.

 

[KingsFan7824]

The hockey gods are quickly making up for all 6 defensemen playing in every playoff game last year.

Totally worth it though.

 

[damacles1156]

LoL wouldn't be a stretch to say the Kings might open the first month of the season, win less...

Muzzin is not really physical, he plays a more finesse game. He just has good size and reach.

 

[deeshamrock]

Hopefully whatever happened to Greene (injury/illness/other) is not long term, since only COL was mentioned.

One small good sight:

lakings @Willie_Mitch33 is on the ice for full practice @lakings

Guess the Mayor or someone else at post pratcie interviews might have an update on Greene.

Great that Kopi is back...

 

[damacles1156]

Glad to read Mitchell is at least skating in practice.

They made it sound like he was going to be gone for months.

Looks like Muzzin might be getting PP time:

Sutter and Payne working with group of five on power play options - Kopitar, Carter, Richards, Doughty, Muzzin

 

[goosh]

Well that sucks. I thought he was arguably our best defenseman last game.

Good to hear the news about Kopi and Mitchell, though.

Not sure if we watched the same game but Greene was still in practice mode.

 

[Vic Vinegar]

Not sure if we watched the same game but Greene was still in practice mode.

Agreed. The Hawks walked all over Greene.

 

[PRMan]

Agreed. The Hawks walked all over Greene.

That's what I was going to say. Greene and Gagne looked the rustiest of all. The Dry Island refugees weren't far behind.

#LAKings Sutter on Matt Greene's injury - 'Mid body, I don't know what you call it.'

 

[KingKopitar11*]

Greene played the whole game right? I think it might be a flu or a muscle tear from lack of games

 

[deeshamrock]

Greene's injury apparently is neither upper or lower body:

Fancy way of calling it a cough

Doesn't sound like he's sick:

Classic #Sutterism here... Coach, do you know when Matt Greene got hurt? Sutter - 'During the game.'

[Reaper45]

Pulled ab muscle? Hernia? Hip flexor? Groin?

 

[Muzzinga]

Clearly just really really needs the toilet

 

[santiclaws]

Butthurt.

Why not use the unit from the playoffs with Richards on the point and Brown in there?

But I won't complain as long as Stool isn't out there.
