Kings-Senators Game Thread: Year of the Dragon!

Ottawa Senators at Los Angeles Kings, Jan 23, 2012 7:30 PM PST


LOS ANGELES, CA - DECEMBER 31:  Goaltender Jonathan Quick #32 and Justin Williams #14 of the Los Angeles Kings celebrate as teammate Anze Kopitar #11 looks on after their NHL game at Staples Center on December 31, 2011 in Los Angeles, California. Kopitar and Williams each scored a goal en route to defeating the Canucks 4-1.  (Photo by Victor Decolongon/Getty Images)

Traditions to be observed for good luck in the lunar new year:

Our minds must also be prepared to greet good luck properly. We exercise strict control of our tongues during the festive season. We must not only look clean, but also speak cleanly. Only honeyed words should come out of the mouth. No foul language and no unlucky words, such as "***" or "*** luck." Fortunately for children, there is no scolding or cursing.


Do you know what this means? RELENTLESS HAPPY SUNSHINE ENERGY.

And pork dumplings. Gotta have those too.

Favorite Moments

Pancakes now tied with Greene AND Michell for 3 goals on the season.

Doughty breaking up the first Kings power play by blowing a simple cross ice pass to Johnson after pondering “to shoot or not to shoot, are they paying me enough? That is the question.”

Doughty turning a simple 3 on 3 defensive coverage situation into a Senators 2 on 1…Doughty had the best seat in the house and bugged out and watched.

Penner, taking another 1st period vacation…momma always told Pancakes the he would get cramps and die if he played hard in 1st periods.

Doughty just killed the Kings power play…again. The Kings power play looks like the 1st day of camp, not game 50. Its looks like these guys never practiced the power play before.

Clifford went with Konopka? Please tell me he’s still in one piece! How’d he do?

by JZarris on Jan 23, 2012 8:49 PM PST reply actions  

Konopka with the win, no damage done. Cliffy didn’t throw much, just tried to tie him up.

by BobKnob on Jan 23, 2012 8:49 PM PST up reply actions  

Good; he’s learning. Don’t tango with a monster and throw freely…thanks for the recap(s).

He took several nasty body shots and gave a couple, too. Most head shots were on helmets…both ways.

and a Mo’ Williams interview. Mo’ has been playing out of his mind for the Clippers lately. Check him out if you get a chance.

That Kumho commercial might be more annoying than the Kars4Kids commercial they play on 710am in LA. Mo was very insightful with his “theres strategy in hockey” statement. I thought all sports was do whatever you want, like 6 year olds in AYSO

Welcome back!

I watched the game on Versus…errr…NBC Sports before tonight’s Kings game. Your Wings looked great tonight. It was fun watching Jimmy try to get into the scrum at the end of the game. Hope the new semester is going well for you.

i was on a plane all day

but based on reading the recap from St. Louis (because that was the only one up at the time on my SBN app), it sounded like another slow start before we just took over the game. looking forward to seeing the highlights during this intermission

Its call "The Telegraph"

Ironic that the person who perfected the short back swing, the highest scoring left wing in NHL history, is in the Kings front office and yet the entire team takes massive back swings.

Kings are using up their goal allocation for the next 2 weeks, good thing we are going into the allstar break.

the kings are hard to beat when they score 4 goals.

am i the only one who thinks that line of Richardson-Loktionov-Lewis deserves some points for the work they’ve been doing in games the last few weeks?

These Make-Up Calls Are Bullshit

Am I the only one who remembers when these teams met last season and the War Room cost the Kings a win by disallowing a goal that clearly should have counted when Smyth knocked one out of the air just below the crossbar?

It’s a relief to see Chris Neil get back up on his own accord there. That was a bit scary.

Agreed! Glad to see that it wasn’t a dirty play by any of our boys also. Scary seeing a guy layed out, even if he’s on the other team.

Amazing Stat of the Night

The Detroit Red Wings are 20-2-1 on home ice. They’re a .500 team on the road (13-13)
The St. Louis Blues are 21-3-3 at home. They’re below .500 on the road (8-10-3)

That’s amazing to me.

The Kings have lost more games both at home and on the road than they’ve won.

I thought this was interesting (via LAKI):

(on Trevor Lewis’ penalty shot goal…)
SUTTER: "On the bench, I said, `Who should take that?’ Because it has to be somebody from the ice. Both Mike Richards and Brownie turned around and said, `Lewie.’ So it was good to see. After the fact, it’s easy to say, `Oh, you picked the right guy,’ right? He’s had three shootout chances and he has made good moves on all of them, so it was good to see him score.’’

Patience with the lad, patience with the lad. He has the skills, and I believe they’ll show more consistently with time.

It’d be nice. First rounder back in ‘06 (taken before Giroux, too) so he’s not that young anymore. But he definitely shows flashes of skill.

by SCSF on Jan 24, 2012 8:04 AM PST up reply actions  

Good catch….thanks.

Lewis has potential…if he could get his hands together he’d prove to be a decent, speedy fellow…a la a guy named Donnelly!!
