Injury Report: Greene out 6-12 weeks, possibly season

[Chazz Reinhold]

Daaaaaaaaaaaaamn, Darryl:

Coach Darryl Sutter had some choice words about his top-6 forwards just before heading to the airport, saying he needed them to “give quality minutes” instead of just “wasting time” like they did on Saturday.

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.

Prob because the unit in the playoffs were terrible. Like 12% conversion

Shame Voynov isn't on the top unit, I maintain that he is the only player on the team who knows how to play left point

@TSNBobMcKenzie reporting Kings Dman Matt Greene hurt back Saturday and is done for the year.

Having some twitter issues. Just got email from Dean Lombardi. Says D Matt Greene is "out for the year probably."

Well that's just great.

well thats a massive case of wat

That's no good if it's accurate. Maybe Muzzin has a legit chance of staying the full year?

“It’s everybody’s (dream), you want to play in the NHL,†said Muzzin following practice today. “You work to play in the NHL. So to be here and to get a chance to play – I just want to go out and keep it simple, play my game and hopefully play well, continue to play well. And stay the rest of the year.â€

He also was quick to point out that nothing is official yet – “They haven’t told me anything yet, but I would think if Greener’s out, that I would play tomorrow in Colorado and we’ll take it from there.â€

[Live in the Now]

Expecting a trade. Mitchell and Greene out could bury our season.

 

[Herby]

Kings will probably need to look at bringing in a veteran defenseman. That's a lot of youth on that back end. Muzzin and Drewiske are fringe NHL'ers at best, and suddenly a lot of responsibility is shifted to Martinez and Slava.

 

[Holden Caulfield]

Loss of Hickey hurts worse now, but Bodnarchuk should be a decent enough replacement for Greene for now...considering Kings were reportedly kicking the tires on Redden of all people, gotta think they will be searching for a D pretty hard now...

 

[DAkings20]

I think the Kings may make a waiver claim on Vandermeer. Regardless, DL's gotta be working the phones now.

 

[Ollie Weeks]

And nobody will be really interested in selling yet. Might be time for a hockey trade.

 

[David Strorm]

Vandermeer is a Greene type player, could work in this short schedual.

 

[deeshamrock]

Jordan Leopold maybe? His contract is up in June. Might not cost too much.

Then again since it's now known the Kings are down 2 D's, the price might be climbing. NJ was shopping D's too...

 

[Ollie Weeks]

And Mitchell's return timetable is still ambiguous. Oh, things just got interesting.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Does Komisarek have a year left on his deal? He may not be a bad option...

 

[kingsfan28]

The asking price for quality defensemen will be astronomical !

 

[Moses Doughty]

Please be back soon Mitchell

 

[Shellz]

Noooooooo!! his presence is going to be missed tremendously

 

[Chazz Reinhold]

This season's trying to force its way down the toilet quickly.

 

[kingsfan28]

I guess now we find out what kind of defensive depth we have.
