Chico Resch is an Idiot

-Here's the New Jersey perspective, courtesy of In Lou We Trust.

-The Kings can not score to save their lives. They outshot and outhit the Devils and lost, 5-1.

-Brian Boyle played pretty well and showed some physicality out there.

-Drew Doughty is pretty good, man.

-The Kings need someone that can shoot on the power play in the worst way. Oscar Moller would be good.

-I guess I haven't mentioned that yet, so I'll say that the Swedes' decision to not x-ray Moller's shoulder was a bad one. Like, a terrible decision. He's a 19 year-old kid playing for his country in the biggest tournament of his life, of course he says he's going to be fine. It's the national team's job to look after these kids. Of course, if Swedes were smart they'd be Norwegians so I guess I can't blame them.

-When the Devils got a penalty, Chico ejaculated, "Oh no!" C'mon, man, at least try.

-Dustin Brown is reaching a status in the league where he's pretty much universally beloved. I get annoyed watching the broadcasts of opposing teams because they always spend about 5 minutes fawning all over him. He's basically become Grady Sizemore, without the flock of ladies following him around.

-Here's Brown's hit on Oduya last night:

-The Kings let in 3 power play goals last night but I'm not sure what you do when 2 of them were scored in 4 seconds or less. Stop losing the faceoffs so cleanly, I guess, but that's not something you can fix during the game.

-I'll have the midseason round-up tomorrow, which is going to be long and boring, so set aside some time to read that. If your boss gives you shit just let me know and I'll beat the hell out of him for you. Seriously. I have a bat.

It was a too many men call on a power play

I think “Oh, no” is more than a reasonable call for such a penalty. Also, Chico’s not an idiot.

Also, many fawn over Brown because he is pretty much the Next Big Power Forward. He shoots, he makes plays, he hits real damn hard. There’s not really anything not to like about him from what I’ve seen.

What’s happening to Quick? After only allowing three or more goals in his first start of the season, he has given up 3 and 5 in his last two games. Of course, when your team takes so many penalties and gives up 3 PPG, there’s only so much the goaltender can do.

I think Ersberg is certainly to get the start tomorrow against the Lightning, but Quick will be back to his old self with a bit of rest. The important thing aboutu this game was that the Devils are an Eastern Conference team, so it wasn’t a "four-point game).

According to the Ottawa Sun (yes, the same Ottawa Sun that reported the Kings were trading Kopitar to the Ottawa Senators), the Kings have interest in Leafs’ “defenceman” (with a ‘c’ because it’s a Canadian team) Tomas Kaberle. Right, because the last thing the Kings want is an abundance of defensemen. I’m not interested in any trade rumors with the Kings unless they involve Dany Heatley or Ilya Kovalchuk, but this one does somewhat intrigue me. They could probably get him by moving Preissing, Calder, and a 6th round pick, which I wouldn’t consider a bad trade.

Fuck you, Denis Gauthier

Except for the fact that Preissing was with the Senators, who decdided not to sign him to a contract, and he signed as a free agent with the Kings.

Also except for the fact that the fact that Preissing last played for the Senators has absolutely nothing to do with the Maple Leafs.

I don’t know why the Kings would want Kubina, seeing as how he’s not that great defensively and is only signed through next season. And it would cost us more than Preissing, Calder and a 6th.

Also, Chico’s not an idiot.

I should mention that I enjoy his discussions on goaltending, but otherwise I don’t get a feeling that he has anything to contribute. But I guess when you have Doc Emrick calling the game you are supposed to stay out of the way. Isn’t that right, Olczyk???
