Scouting the Avalanche

Tonight is the first of four regular-season meetings this season between the Kings and Colorado Avalanche, and remember that it’s an early start ( 5 p.m. Pacific time). Watch out for the Avalanche. They’re hungry for a home win, after an 0-3-0 start, and they’re hungry to beat the Kings, who haven’t lost at Pepsi Center since Dec. 9, 2008. Overall, the Kings are 8-0-1 in their last nine games against Colorado. For the latest on the Avalanche, check out a game-preview story from The Denver Post, followed by tonight’s expected lineups for the Kings and Avalanche…

    Sounds like Galiardi has “Penner’s” disease.

    Crash the net, be aggressive and bring home the 2 points. Just don’t play the Avs like you did at Fozen Fury.
