@Alen, Something had to happen in practice. Maybe Clunatic ran Kopitar a little too hard and is being punished.

@khanon, *replace Kopitar with Jones. Since we know the favoritism. Kidding don’t get mad guys. I dont wish harm on any Kings player.

Gee, that move will dramatically affect the outcome tonight.
[Reply]
sad.

Clune wouldn’t have won the game tonight. You never know… maybe Parse gets one.
That said, I would’ve liked to see the Clunatic if for no other reason than to see a little physical play.
[Reply]
I actually don’t mind Parse… I can see him becoming a more than decent 3rd line scorer.
[Reply]
It’s the wheel of wingers on the “fourth” line! Parse wins today! I’m fine with Parse or Clune…don’t care as long as Ivanans is not considered for the rest of the year.

@Oz, Ouch! Ivanans name should be on the bankrupt space in the wheel.

@Oz,
You know if we win the cup… Ivanans will get his name etched in there and a cup ring … hard to think about when certain greats will never get that feeling (big Dan Marino fan here…)

@VanKingsFan, You’ll be singing a different tune if Bam-Bam puts someone on the IR tonight with Ivanans out.

@lakingsfan19, You really think Terry Murray is a dumb as?
Kopi and Smyth can get run no matter who you have in your line up. Parse is bigger than Clune in physical size and Ivanans is just Ivanans.

@NickDoh,
Agreed 100%. The only way this makes sense is if Murray looked at St Louis’ roster and saw that Jansens or Kings isn’t playing either. For the Kings’ players’ sake, I sure hope they’re not…

@NickDoh,
agree with this, Not to mention DJ King. Clune would get destroyed by either.
Guys, coming almost from the source.. there never has been any Clunatic nickname.. until maybe just the last couple weeks. I wonder what it was while he was in juniors etc.

@VanKingsFan, Its almost offensive. I wonder if he really likes being called the Clunatic?

@VanKingsFan, According to Clune himself, one of the Kings PR staff made it up and nobody on the team calls him that.

@Atomic Steve, I can see why. Nobody wants him to actually lose it.

Vote of confidence for Drewiske if nothing else. Harrold isn’t in “just in case.”

We are playing the blues and clueless coach Murray scratches Ivanans and Clune?
TM your a horrible coach!!!

@lakingsfan19, And Ivanans prevents people from getting hurt? Players don’t wear Ivanans as protective equipment.

@tantrum4, Actually I do get it. But we have seen before, just having the tough guys out there doesnt stop anything. Ivanans rarely gets involved in those situations. Remember?
What happened when Greene got ran? We got a powerplay and Tucker got a suspension and we were satified with that.
I hope everybody survives this game without injury, but Ivanans doesn’t do his job. Sorry.
[Reply]
Rich, Do you know the Kings record when Harrold is in the lineup?
[Reply]
Let’s just get it done!!
GO KINGS GO! GO KINGS GO!

Nobody to stand up=Odie, Simmonds and Brown?

It’s not about winning the fight… It’s about STANDING UP for your teammates… Simmonds, Brown, OD, all these guys will stand up for their own

Off-topic but the kings announced that for all playoff games at staples center the kings will go “Back In Black” and wear their popular 3rd jersey at all home playoff games.
[Reply]
So wait. He makes sure to play Ivanans against chicago, and decides to scratch clune against st louis?? Weird. But I know. Last week when we got shut out by chicago, frolov worked hard and sent a pass across to clune in the blue with a wide open net, and clune fanned over the shot. I think that has something to do with it. Not sure if clune has played since. I could be wrong.

Hey Rich, What happened to the daily post of the magic numbers?

we need offense…parse helps more than clune…
[Reply]
plus, parse is da scooter, meaning he is faster to cover the blues faster forwards than clune is…
i think it’s a smart move…
[Reply]
drewiskie with the goal..kind of..against us that is
[Reply]
pull Quick now before it gets to 3. That was definitely a softie…
