Byes suck.

That is all.

[Angel Oracle]

On the bright side, Budaj is getting a much needed breather.   I'm sure that he's never seen a work load in the past to match this season's.

And Quick supposedly returns in a little over 2 weeks.

I hate byes

Budaj was not good. But it's hard to be too mad at him.
Martinez on the other hand?  Seriously? WTF was that game? Meh...

[Tank]

so if my timeline is accurate, quick should be back around march 1, yes?

I wouldn't count on it.

Hockey is stupid and liked by stupid people.

[Angel Oracle]

Four straight losses, not good 

[nando714]

I went to both games at home last week. Loss both. Kings are 1-5 when I attend. I need to stop going. 

Finally some points last night. 2 out of WC 

[Angel Oracle]

It was VERY lowly Colorado, but it was also a start to win 2-1.

[Schildog]

This team is just not good.

[Angel Oracle]

Sutter brought the ultimate prize home, twice.   Is the game passing him by though?

Might be time to start keeping up with the changes.   It also might be time to trade Brown, and pay whatever part of the salary needs to be included.

At least Quick supposedly returns in about a week.

Hockey doesn't suck. Today. 

It'll be funny if Carter getting clocked becomes the turning point of the season.

Good guy Perry

Hopefully. 1 week this team looks like contenders the next they look like they should just tank

[Thomas]

Well clearly the purpose of this trade is to um... uh.. I have no idea.

Ben Bishop has been traded to LAK.

Budaj and our 2015 2nd round pick D Erik Cernak going the other way also a 7th round conditional pick

kings receive a 5th

i don't get trading for a goalie with goaltending has been the least of our worries. Deano is going bonkers 

[Tank]

yeah, strange trade. glad to have bishop, but man, budaj was terrific this year and we'd be DOA without him. thanks, peter.

perry is a bitch. i'd like to see clifford take care of business with him.

[Angel Oracle]

Clifford needed to go all Hanson Brothers on Perry the Punk.

Beating the Dorks by 3 goals will never suck.

I guess the Bishop trade was made so that Quick doesn't have to play so many games the rest of the reg season.   It did appear that Budaj might be getting close to running on fumes from so many games played.   Bishop brings in someone who can assume a decent workload while Quick works his way back.
