One goal is just one goal, but the type of goal that Dustin Brown scored Thursday night — making a simple play, giving up the puck, going to the net — gives Terry Murray hope that more goals are in store for Brown, the former 33-goal scorer who now has 11 this season…
MURRAY: “That was a great goal, I thought. It started with the breakout and then it goes to the pass that Brown makes, entering the offensive zone, to Frolov. I think, in the past dozen games probably, you saw Brownie holding onto that puck and trying to do a lot of the 1-on-1 stuff, beating the defenseman or maybe just shooting the puck to the net.
“In this instance, he makes a great play. Now he brings other people into the attack, and that’s that give-and-go attitude and that support that works in the league. Now, with his attitude of going to the net, he’s a courageous guy and he never hesitates in bullying his way in and being ready for a return play. So that was a great goal, it was an important goal, obviously, for the game last night, and if that’s something that we start to see on a consistent basis from Brownie, that would really get his numbers back up to where they should be.”
Murray also tossed out this gem…
MURRAY: “I watched the Montreal game before that, and Cammalleri kind of puts the same kind of spin move. Maybe Fro was watching the game. I’m not sure. It was a good play.”
truly a great goal, classic brown meets classic frolov.

brown is one of my favorite players on this team.
I hope he turns it around and scores more
his game is effective without the scoring, but it wouldnt hurt!

Oh….That’s just not right TM. Funny as hell though.

Would have been funnier if TM would have dropped Kovalchuk’s name instead of Cammy.

Cammy for a pick?!

Cammy = Locker room cancer.

Agree with sentiments about Cammalleri–I can’t believe some people critisize Lombardi for trading him. Was very clear he was going to walk. Good riddance.
[Reply]
Rich, have you heard anything about Justin Williams did he need surgery to set the broken leg and is the estimate still 3 months?
Get well Justin.
Its hard to criticize Cammalleri he asked for 6 mil/yr and a team actually felt he was worth it. I don’t think we offered ballpark to resign him. DL may not of even offered over 3 or 4 mil/yr. DL was probably right he is a good small player, but has inherit weakness in his game 6 mil/yr is too much.

good for brownie!
one game at a time
one period at a time

Cammy for Cammi!
[Reply]
trade O’Sullivan back?
[Reply]
Speaking of Haiku, what’s with Nashville. Those guys seem unbeatable lately. Most everyone assumes that Detroit will be in the playoffs, (me included) so who are the Kings gonna go past to insure an 8th seed if not higher?
[Reply]
P.S. They shutout Calgary tonight 1-0
[Reply]
How about that the hawks v wings game on NBC on Sunday.
See y’all tomorrow in sec 106
[Reply]
Cammalleri was exactly the kind of guy that Lombardi was talking about in the Gann interview and then Rich’s interview, a selfish guy that is more about stats than system. Plus, his name is hard to spell. He had an overblown ego and he is one-dimensional in his play. I have nothing against smaller players, I like them and see them as a part of a winning team with speed, but Cammalleri is exactly the kind of player that folds in the playoffs. Honestly, I would rather have Ian LaPierre than Cammalleri or O’Sullivan, at least with Ian you know what you are going to get every night.
[Reply]
Mr. X
Agreed.
Is this not exactley the reason why Kouvolchuk may not be the savior. Is he a team first guy? Will he play defense? Is he selfish?
At 11 mil/yr not to mention what it will cost to get him.
Dont se Deano doing it.
[Reply]
PlayerX
You are completely correct
These guys cant handle the checking playoff type game
That is where Brown will excel
I wonder is Fro can still be the puck possessor in the playoffs?
[Reply]
Off topic by a lot but I watching Scrubs last night when an add for the Stars appeared. Apparently, they are going to play the Minnesota Predators soon. Thought that was funny that no one checks to see if it’s right. Shows where hockey is compared to the ‘Boys and Mavs. It might be ahead of the TX Rangers.

Agree with SD Golfer re: Cammi, the locker room cancer had to go. You don’t want players, no matter how good they think they are, if they don’t like the team they play for. Disagree with Rex. Our seats are in section 113 and POS was traded because he was dogging it. He would coast in to the corners and was unwilling to go in and fight for the puck. Trading for JW was a great move by DL.
Why would the Kings want Kouvolchuk at $11 million, it would ruin the salary structure of the Kings and limit the cap space available, when its time to re-sign some of the young stars as their entry level contracts expire.
My biggest concern with Frolov is the amount of money the KHL is going to offer him (tax free) when his current contract is up.
Brownie is our favorite player. When he is hitting, the rest of his game falls into place. By the third quarter, player are flinching when they see Brown coming at them. With Brown passing the puck, Frolov’s puck possesion ability and Handzus (always underrated) at centerman, the Frolov – Handzus – Brown line will be one of our strongest. It appears Simmomds has the energy level to play and contribute to the first line.
Lets go Kings, no let up today against the Bruins.
Go Kings GO!!
[Reply]
Hockey doesn’t have quarters!
[Reply]
Frolov might get a good offer from the KHL but he’d have to live in Russia. That’s not the nicest of places and with the way things are moving back to the old bloc style…I doubt it’s very appealing. I may be wrong.
[Reply]
My mistake I was referring to the third period.
