Is This Really Happening?: Kings 3, Stars 2

Good: Erik Ersberg, Drew Doughty, Dustin Brown. Doughty lead the team with 27:05 of TOI with the average shift lasting a minute long. Impressed? I think so! I absolutely cannot wait for Jack Johnson to get back to the lineup. I can't imagine what it's going to look like with another huge body back there. Ersberg notched another win on his fourth straight start. I trust and respect Terry Murray's decision not to name the Swede the number one until he's comfortable with his conststancy. I can see exactly his reasoning and won't be terribly disappointed if he waits a long time to make it official.
Not good: Denis Gauthier. I don't mean to make him my goat, but he makes egregious errors and it needs to be pointed out. He only had 11:48 of TOI in the game, which let's me know Terry Murray is seeing what everyone else is seeing.
Weeeee!!A little bit of Maple
- The Toronto Maple Leafs went against the Edmonton Oilers where the former won 5-2. I could write plenty, but I'm a bit tired and wanna go to bed soon.
- I had my doubts about Nik Antropov. I still do; I really think he could be more of an intimidating player. He's just so large and not so nimble, but a little birdy told me to just watch and wait. I can definitely eat some humble pie tonight because Antropov's goal was pretty freaking sweet. Very cleanly put into the net and got the Leafs up further on the scoreboard.
- Will Jason Blake need to be a healthy scratch to get it in his head that passing is a good thing? He had two great passes tonight, which lead to two goals. Simple, right? I really don't think it should come to him getting benched for him to realize just exactly what Ron Wilson wants.
- In looking at the stats sheet, I was very surprised that none of the Leafs forwards had over 20 minutes of TOI. There are usually one or two Kings that get over that mark, but I guess that doesn't have to apply for all teams. This really isn't an astute observation or anything; it's just something I noticed.
- Congrats to Sam Gagner for getting his first goal of the season!

And, you can go ahead and say it Connie...go ahead and call Gauthier "sucky". It really does fit him well.
I also agree about no need to name Ersberg #1. What's in a "title" anyway? As long as he keeps playing you can call him "starter".

KQ - That is hilarious! Actually how is the Popcornopolis? I kind of wanna try it but I'm not sure if it'll be worth it.
Well, I've said Gauthier has sucked... you're so much better at the nicknames than me. Haha. By the way, do you think Kopi knows he needs to utilize the under-eye concealer?

Also, did you see the one shot on goal that Ersberg did a "soccer header" of the puck out of the crease? Awesome!
And, keeping count on the Jimmy-meter of Jimmy-isms....his "Jarett STOLE that goal from Fro" line last night was a classic Jimmy-ism. I love Jimmy! Bob is getting a bit...should I say...confused. He's a little lost between O'Sullivan and O'Donnell...bless his heart!

Ersberg just rocks, doesn't he? =P Oh, my buddy totally made a comment to me about Jim Fox! But I defended him saying I loved him and thought he was awesome. I love Bob too! He's doing amazingly well for how old he is!
Kirsten - Yay for gag! Those boys looked totally cool in their retro jerseys.

Kirsten, Stoll is "growing" on me, but I think he takes too many penalties.

Connie-Gags is too adorable. Not always eloquent, but whatever. Their old school sweaters are bomb. I want one.

Kirsten - How much eloquence can you really expect from a kid?
