We’re having some blog issues here, as none of my morning stuff got posted, but I’ll take another swing here… The Kings will go with a fourth line of Brad Richardson, Trevor Lewis and Kevin Westgarth tonight, and there will be no changes on defense. Davis Drewiske practiced this morning, with a visor, and looked surprisingly OK after taking a puck to the face yesterday. Terry Murray had some strong words for the play of Alexei Ponikarovsky, who will be a healthy scratch tonight. More notes and quotes to come…
Message sent to Frol– er, Poni.

@BrokeKingsFan, absolutely agree. Why would you not put your best players on the ice? I really like TM however I’m starting to question some of his decisions. Don’t break now TM.

I’d say Murray’s comments as of late might be a response to the pressure he’s feeling due to the overall level of play.
@HAMMER – Since the web issues happened, the following keeps showing up as my “Website” and I keep deleting it before posting, but it keeps coming back…don’t know if it’s harmful, but doesn’t look good. It’s “http://deleted.”

From 3rd line, to IR, to 4th line, back to IR, to 1st line, to healthy scratch. although i dont agree with keeping him out instead of Westgarth, i do agree that he needs to be more consistent in his play.

stop pointing fingers TM! I think Poni has been playing fine
need to give our players a chance! And bring back Moller for petes sake, he is amazing!!
[Reply]
This dude Poni has done nothing since coming here. Bum he is. One big Bum….
[Reply]
In a sense I feel for TM, but in another I think he made his own bed.
Might as well call back Z and scratch Lewis while he’s at it.

something really bad is going to happen with the kings.

If the Kings lose tonight….to a team that played last night and have lost 5 straight….there will be need to be some major changes Dean….
Fans will lose a lot of respect for them. I am sick of this!! The Kings have a 10 straight road games coming up!! A must win in my opinion, both against STL and EDM.

@LucsoundslikeLuke, i have noticed that whenever the ducks play a team that the kings play the next night, its very very hard for us to come out with the W. It could be because the team playing the back to back is hungry for a W after losing the night before. Or maybe the Kings think that since the team played the night before this should be a cake walk.

Kings, can we please win tonight. I am tired of losing to the teams that Anaheim beats.
[Reply]
60 minutes tonite guys and all will be fine. Lets get a win streak going and shut down the belly aching, roller coaster fans. Sure get tired of hearing how great they are when they win, but how everybody wants heads to roll when it gets rough for a few games. The Kings WILL make the playoffs, and everybody knows they can beat anybody in the league when they are on their game. I’d rather have them peak in the final third of the season than right now. Go KINGS, beat tbe Blues!

TM is a moron, Westgarth might be the worst hockey player in the NHL, this guy is a joke
[Reply]
The leafs traded Ponik. to the Pens…the Pens cut him loose and no one was interested ….until Lombardi…. because DL had wasted the whole summer pursuing Kovi….and there wasnt any quality FA’s available. So he took the scraps. TM is only as good as the players made available to him

@The Zamboni mechanic, DL the NHL Dumpster diver..LOL. He prob thought poni’s at least Russian too…
[Reply]
ugh Westgarth? really?
[Reply]
I think TM needs to take a stress leave. He doesnt know who to put where and players dont know their roles, Team meeting a must with Dean where Terry is not present. Ask your captian and other player to fix the problem. Calling out players need to stop. Its going to be you next. Its a team game. No more finger pointing. Team doesnt have any leader. I want Mr Canada to come out and be the captain hes been in the past.

WTF Scratch Doughboy Doughty Murray!! Send DD a message instead of sticking with his worthless hockey of late. Poni is doin better than a bunch of our sorry players.

One of DL’s former FA’s, Brian Willsie, sent down in Washington.
