This one has to be short because my parents have the world's worst internet connection and every 5 minutes everything crashes on me. This whole week is going to be sporadic, actually, because I'm going to Mexico for a few days and then I'm going up into the snow and then I'm going into space so I won't have internet for a while. I'll see what I can do, though!

In the meantime, a few things to discuss:

-Should the Kings try to trade one of their young defensemen (Martinez) for a guy like Tuomo Ruutu?

-Should the Kings see if they can trade Jack Johnson for top-six help?

-Why are Gagne & Williams playing like dickheads?

-At what point do the Kings try to get Jonathan Quick signed to a long-term deal? When they do so, does Jonathan Bernier become available?

-What is this burning sensation when I pee?

-If the Kings don't make the playoffs, should Dean Lombardi be fired? No. What are you, retarded? Shut up.

-Is Boxing Day lame as hell? Yes. Yes it is.

Prediction: Kings win, 3-1. Goals by Kopitar, Williams, and Gagne.
