I'm sure you were looking forward to waking up for this game. =P<BR/><BR/>I absolutely LOVED the picture of Crosby and JJ, I was laughing out loud amongst the men gambling on horse racing. hahaConniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07131044718177467718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5164145690596657256.post-56875250488412434582008-02-09T21:49:00.000-08:002008-02-09T21:49:00.000-08:00Spiker, thanks for the info about the game times. ...Spiker, thanks for the info about the game times. It seems like NBC and Versus love showing Eastern Conference games...but I guess that's where some of the big names are.<BR/><BR/>I know Conklin didn't play (that's why I said Conklin's backup) but I didn't know how to spell Sabourin's name and was too lazy to look it up.<BR/><BR/>Kopi has been on and off this whole season. During December my brother asked if he was injured...nope. But somehow he still seems to put up numbers. I think other teams (especially the West) know how to defend against him which is why other guys (Brown, O'Sullivan) have stepped it up and are having breakout seasons. Brown is a machine and it's great to see him become an all-around great player. <BR/><BR/>I kept thinking that the Pens aren't that different from my Kings. Just a couple more seasons and (hopefully) we'll be having the success that the Pens are currently experiencing.Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07631663414267137790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5164145690596657256.post-7960475825376859852008-02-09T21:31:00.000-08:002008-02-09T21:31:00.000-08:00You can blame the NHL's deal with NBC for the earl...You can blame the NHL's deal with NBC for the early Saturday and Sunday games from now through the playoffs.<BR/><BR/>NBC now gets to pick and choose I believe 13 days out who they want to show. As a result, a lot of Eastern teams are stuck playing these early games that they cannot easily reschedule due to where teams may be playing on Friday and Monday as well. Originally NBC wanted three or four regional interest games {so West Coast games could start at 1:00pt} but that changed after everybody must have set their schedules. But I swear the Kings game was moved from 7:30p to 1:00p because of the Pens-Flyers game on Sunday was also moved to 1:00 for NBC - who are showing Ducks-Red Wings instead.<BR/><BR/>Pittsburgh, Washington, the Rangers and Detroit seem to be stuck with these the most, but a Pittsburgh-Buffalo game that was rejected by NBC was moved back to 6:00pm by agreement of both teams later in February.<BR/><BR/>Of course, the early games aren't too cool in the East either if you want to go to them or watch them.<BR/><BR/>Danny Sabourin played the entire game, not Ty Conklin.<BR/><BR/>I was kind of disappointed that Kopitar didn't have a great game, I still say he is a rising star. But, in looking at the Kings, they remind me a lot of the way the Pens were back in 2001-2002. They have talent. They need a couple of pieces and a little more time to play together - and a more consistent level of play in goal would help too. <BR/><BR/>Best Kings player in my bloodshot eyes? Dustin Brown. Needs to shoot the puck more, but he hits. Lots of potential there.<BR/><BR/>Fun game to see live, though. I get to see the Kings on TV a lot, they can be much more entertaining and much more frustrating then watching the Ducks...spiker97https://www.blogger.com/profile/14111898325041552249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5164145690596657256.post-21788457078995881982008-02-09T14:21:00.000-08:002008-02-09T14:21:00.000-08:00How about west coasters with hangovers.

You'd think they would have realized by now that LA is kind of a big deal in the world...Kirstenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08031186865983731569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5164145690596657256.post-55592211339849395592008-02-09T13:29:00.000-08:002008-02-09T13:29:00.000-08:00Have they no respect for West Coasters?Have they no respect for West Coasters?Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07631663414267137790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5164145690596657256.post-87874881643158497102008-02-09T11:42:00.000-08:002008-02-09T11:42:00.000-08:00Why the fuck is this game so early?
