A reminder that tonight’s game is available only on 1150-AM and affiliates, and you can follow the game action here as well…
NOTE: Dustin Penner was a late scratch from the game, with an undisclosed injury. I’m hoping for an update after the game. Dwight King took Penner’s spot in the lineup.
THIRD PERIOD
In goal: It’s Bernier vs. Ellis.
Kings 2, Ducks 1: Willie Mitchell gave the Kings a 2-1 lead with 5:43 remaining in the third period. Mitchell found open ice near the top of the left circle, took a pass from Anze Kopitar and ripped a shot to the far corner of the net. Simon Gagne also got an assist.
Kings 3, Ducks 1: Anze Kopitar scored an empty-net goal with 26 seconds remaining to cap the scoring.
SECOND PERIOD
In goal: It’s still Bernier vs. Hiller.
Kings 1, Ducks 0: After generating almost no strong scoring chances in the first period, the Kings scored just 1:08 into the second period. Mike Richards went toward the front of the net, took a shot pass from Dwight King and beat Hiller with a close-range wrist shot for his first goal of the preseason. Dustin Brown also got an assist.
Goalie change: The Ducks’ Dan Ellis replaced Hiller in goal at the 9:58 mark. Hiller stopped 12 of 13 shots.
Kings 1, Ducks 1: The Ducks tied the game with 9:07 remaining in the second period, as the Kings allowed their first power-play goal of the preseason. Lubomir Visnovsky passed left to Teemu Selanne, who ripped a high, one-time slap shot past Bernier. Ryan Getzlaf also got an assist. The Kings had been 18-for-18 on the penalty kill in the preseason.
End of period: The Ducks outshot the Kings 11-10 in the period. The Kings went 0-for-1 on the power play and 0-for-1 on the penalty kill.
FIRST PERIOD
In goal: It’s the Kings’ Jonathan Bernier against the Ducks’ Jonas Hiller.
End of first: The Ducks outshot the Kings 11-7 in a scoreless, penalty-free first period. Play was a bit ragged on both ends, but the Ducks clearly had the better of the chances and Bernier once again was sharp.
Cool thought l would need to listen to idiot Ducks announcers

@kingzfn1, The channels kind of HAVE TO cater to the Eastern audience – it’s a much larger group of people. I don’t like it as much as you do, but from a business perspective, more people are going to view the Canadian team/Eastern team preseason games than out West here, especially The Kings/Ducks/Sharks, ect.

@kingzfn1, Basically, the NHL Channel caters to teams that televise their games. They pick up home broadcasts, generally. Since the Kings didn’t televise either of their Staples Center games or the technically home games in Kansas City and Las Vegas, there wasn’t much chance. Of course, they still cater to the East Coast and Canada, but the Ducks and Sharks have been on.

What a treat to have two superb goaltenders. It sure wouldn’t kill me to see Bernier take over the number one spot by the end of this season. I think he will be the goalie when the Kings finally raise the Stanley Cup.

Weeelll keeds, back in 2011, we had this here thing called “radio.” You see, that newfangled television thing could only be seen by the high-fallutin’ special people, like those in that there eastern part of the country and them maple leaf lovers up north, the ones whose teams had won the Cup. You see, that was before our beloved Kings brought home their first of many Stanley Cups. Once them Cups started to roll in, then every TV station in the land, even the NHL Network, wanted to put the Kings on the television. In the dark days before the Cup, we were blessed with the voices of Nick and Daryl, and when we were very lucky, the television would show our beloved Kings and the voice from above, Bob Miller, would guide us through the game while that their Canadien born American citizen Jim Fox would explain what the heck was happening. Yep, them was the good ole days, but the one thing I remember most was that guy, Rich Hammond, who when he spoke, everyone in the Kingdom listened, since he always knew what was happening. Boy, I sure do miss those days, but it is good to be a Kings fan today, and seeing those big Stanley Cup banners hanging from the rafters in our drafty old Staples El Pollo Loco Center. Yes, those were the days…..

@Zeley, Uhhh, I can’t tell you what their initials stand for because of the rules on this site, but I can tell you some info on them. They were a rap group back in the early 90′s formed from a group of guys who grew up in Compton. Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, and Eazy-E were the most famous of the bunch. They pioneered “Gangsta Rap”. They wore all black clothing, and thus Kings and Raiders gear were among their choice of clothing. They were also a main reason why the Kings changed jersey colors. Too many gangs were wearing the Kings Black and Silver, thus the Kings wanted to distance themselves from the so called “gang colors.”

@hockeynerd, Glad to see ya back! It’s funny, last year I use to jokingly say that you were really Terry Murray in disguise, then today you make a statement that King will be in for Penner tonight before anyone reported it, and voila, King is in for Penner. How did you know that unless you were the one deciding who plays tonight? LOL.

@CB14, Parse was actually pretty good tonight. Although he didnt get many scoring opportunities, he was all over the ice tonight. He was real good on the forecheck and threw his body around a little in the offensive zone. However he especially stood out to me in the defensive zone and had several nice break ups and seemed to be in the right position all night. Although he didnt record anything on the stat sheet, he was the one who stood out to me the most in a good way on that first line, even more so I would say than Gagne or Kopi.

@CB14, i was at the game. Parse looked desperate out there. Not very comfortable, better checking from him tonight. But he turn the puck over that almost lead to a goal. Also he had a good look from the left slot but passed it out to the point instead of shooting???? On the other hand Hunter was all over the ice, he laid out a couple of ducks and almost scored as well. great pick up DL

Bernier 1st star of the game..Kwelling..

Sounded like another good defensive and goaltending effort.

Parse didn’t play well at all. He didn’t make good choices out there

@Downsy, Agree 100% and I thought Hunter played very well

Really surprised the Ducks switched goalies when they did. I thought we’d see Hiller all night. So good to see (sort of) the guys take over the game in the 3rd, and Kopi is starting to get hot. I think it finally took 6 games for the Kings to give up a goal on the PK. Bernier had a great game. 3-1-2 so far in the pre season. 11 goals against in 6 games, so the D keeping it under 2 a game.

@Dominick, Sooo, even with all the dis-jointedness of the preseason so far, we take 8 of a possible 12 points, even w/o DD? And if you toss out the S/S games, 2-0-2 no? Not too shabby, eh? I’m really liking our chances this year. I just hope all of you out in Vegas don’t bet the Kings down too much before I get out there next Mo.lol.
Go Kings

@Dominick, Remember preseason records and stats don’t mean squat. It’s all bout working out the kinks and into the system.
