Kings Gameday: Meat Train Derailed
Dallas Stars at Los Angeles Kings, Dec 12, 2009 7:30 PM PST
Read about the most boring team in hockey over at Defending Big D

The Kings lost Wayne Simmonds to a "lower body injury." (I'm guessing that he stepped on his dick.) Simmonds was the Kings' best player over the last two weeks, so this is a pretty giant blow. The Kings immediately go from a 4-line team to a 2-line team, which spells trouble against a deep offensive team like Dallas. It also hurts the Kings because they can't play a Ivanans-Harrold-Moller line more than 6 minutes or so, so the rest of the offense is going to have to carry the load in their next 3 games, which take place over the next 4 games.
Really, the Kings are boned. They need Anze Kopitar to take over games and win a few by himself if they're going to have any chance of winning 1 of the next 3. Kopitar, Frolov and Williams been doing their jobs defensively but they haven't been putting the puck in the net. Now, with Simmonds out and the third line crippled, they have to put in a few goals.
Help us, Anze Kopitar, you're our only hope.
Prediction: Kings win, 3-1. Goals by Williams (x3).

I disagree, the Wild are the most boring team in hockey. Possibly in non-MLB/WNBA/futbol professional sports.

That being said, they are pretty fucking boring though.

I know I’m not the only person that noticed this……
You say Kopitar’s our only hope, then predict Williams to score all the goals?
Can I have some of whatever you’re on?
Fuck you, Denis Gauthier. You suck at hockey... and life.
Get out of LA and never come back. Or sign with Anaheim... PLEASE??
The implication is that Kopitar will be the driving force behind the goals. I just wanted to give you nerds a Star Wars reference, OK?

Lucked out on that call. Couldn’t happen to a nicer asshole though (Ribeiro)

Terrible Rule
When you poke the puck and it deflects in, the goal should count.
Course, I think the shootout should go away. Neither team deserved the extra point tonight.

Sure, but sounds like team-based griping; I’m sure you’d be quite comfortable with the rule if Turco did the pokechecking.
What else? Should second periods be ten seconds shorter to avoid any unnecessary Kopitar heroics?

Fortunately
When you kick the puck in on a shootout, it doesn’t count. Kings win!

It is quite odd to go onto ESPN and look at the conference standings and see LA Kings #1. Way early obviously, but holy hell.
i seriously can’t remember the last time we were #1 in the Western Conference past game 2 :)
