Terry Murray said Jack Johnson will play today against New Jersey. As something of a precaution, the Kings will go with seven defensemen, with Peter Harrold staying in as a forward.
Teddy Purcell will retun to the lineup, and Raitis Ivanans and Brandon Segal will be healthy scratches, giving the Kings lines of…
Richardson-Kopitar-Simmonds
Smyth-Stoll-Brown
Frolov-Handzus-Purcell
Parse-Moller-Harrold
awww I like Segal. Oh wellz, Go Kings!

Praise the Lord. Welcome back Jack.

thank god the Latvian lug is out. I did like segal though.
…i wouldnt be surprised to see frolov get double shifted to the 4th in place for harrold
[Reply]
Frankly surprised at Parse getting another game. He was very bad defensively last night. Although the effort was there in battles behind our own net, he wasn’t very effective and seemed slow and out of position on back-checks. TM is very patient with youngsters, so they say; this must be proof of it.

Rich, things sure are interesting. TSN is getting giddy over the Burke presser. Should be a interesting day.
[Reply]
Off topic, but does anyone have a link to a game thread that shows the entire shootout icluding kopi’s sick goal? All the highlight reels I’ve looked at fail to show anything but Stolly’s goal.

Phaneuf traded to Toronto !!!
[Reply]
Phaneuf to the Leafs.
[Reply]
Who cares!!!
[Reply]
Giggy too…on his way to TOR
[Reply]
good to see the ball rolling…
[Reply]
Agree that Parse had a rough one last night. We all feel Moller has deserved the spot on the 3rd line, but due to lack of centers, or the fact that Richie would have to switch lines is the reason.
I like the lines tonight. TM will definately roll all 4.
[Reply]
Glad that cheep shot artist is moving East.
[Reply]
woooooow, i reported the phaneuf deal first butttt rich deleted my comment
[Reply]
For who??
[Reply]
Phaneuf, Sjostrom for White and Stajan.. that’s what i’m hearing right now
[Reply]
Kiosku2 here is a link to the whole shootout. If you want just Kopi’s dangle go to nhl.com, under the heading Anze the Giant.

Salary dump and Joikinen wont get resigned.

oops heres the link…

DarrenDreger when asked if Stajan and Hagman are main pieces in Phaneuf trade, source says “its bigger than that.”
[Reply]
Go get Karable Dean!! He’s awesome and has a decent contract
[Reply]
Send it to the Bruins c/o Thomas
[Reply]
No no, we don’t need Tomas Kaberle.. But ya, this is big news, Giguere to the Leafs also, Brian Burke is taking heavyyyyy money
[Reply]
This trade may work in our favour. Lets say Dion has a decent season….All Dean needs to do is…..Dion + for Schenn…Burke will be all over that like white on rice
[Reply]
WWAMD,
I don’t even want Dion Phaneuf man, the guy is overpaid, I’d rather build within and just trade for assets instead of taking on huge salarys like Phaneuf, who hasn’t had a good year since his rookie season
[Reply]
Phaneuf, Sjostrom and Auley to Toronto for Hagman, Stajan, Mayers and white!!
[Reply]
that was from Dreger
[Reply]
WOW Niklas Higman to Calgary too, damnn..
According to Dreger’s twitter:
Phaneuf, Sjostrom and Auley to Toronto for Hagman, Stajan, Mayers and White
[Reply]
is the kings game vs new jersey not on fox sports if not is it on nhl center ice and if so what sports bars are showing the game in west la sfv
Thanks
[Reply]
Wow Leafs traded Toskula, who sucks for Giggy and a 1st.. Leafs robbed the Ducks in that trade.
[Reply]
WWAMD, i hope that’s not true, that’s rooooobbery man..
[Reply]
Thanks Steven! Wondering like everyone else who Burky got in return. He has been known to steal a thing or two in the trades he’s made over the years. Since the new CBA, hasn’t been too much in the way of big trades during the regular season so this is interesting…
[Reply]
kiosku2,
Phaneuf, Sjostrom and Auley to Toronto for Hagman, Stajan, Mayers and white!
[Reply]
Burke just said that his cap situation is like a new pair of underwear: uncomfortably tight lolol
[Reply]
AK47 I got that straight from NHL.com
It is robbery. Toskula has been crap for ages and Giggy is decent and a 1st round pick on top of that. Thats now fair, I wanted Leafs to suffer with NO first round picks for the next 2 years. And a Ducks first round pick looks pretty good this season. Burke has done it again
[Reply]
Ya, I mean how badly do you want to get rid of Giguere? He’s only got one more year left on his contract, right? God, that’s absurd, I wanted to see the Leafs suffer without a first rounder too, and it looks like they’ll be getting one back, Goddddddd
[Reply]
I get that you’re interested in league dealings but stop hijacking this thread when it has nothing to do with the Kings. Seriously, check yourself. Exchange phone numbers and call each other.
As for the lineup tonight, and the subject of this post, Rich, I assume Jack is coming in for Jones. Do you know? And I thought that Whiskey was going to get a game in!? Perhaps that he was a maybe all along, I don’t remember…
[Reply]
Perhaps Drewiske was considered a “maybe” all along. (correction)
[Reply]
Rumor has it that it is phi first rounder from the pronger trade.
[Reply]
I don’t understand… Why scratch your only big, tough forwards and dress two wimps instead?? NJ is more physical than boston, and boston gave the kings a hard time
[Reply]
@waves
Leafs trade involves our #1 rival. Which means it’s kings related
[Reply]
i’m glad to see this move… i love it when we have 4 lines we can roll… have a 4th line that can skate and make plays… score if need be… im a huge fan of moller and his play making ability… i really hope we hold on to him… thought he’s played really well with zeus and fro too
[Reply]
For god sake, is Whiskey back in today too? Because I swear that TM is just screwing with me if he is…
[Reply]
Oh, oh, looks like another 2 and a half line game again. And back to back no less.
RI was a long way off his game last night but at least he was noticeable which is more then I can say for perhaps three other forwards.
Good or not, say what you will, Phaneuf had sure played well against the Kings. Hate to see Hagman in our conference.
