Darryl Sutter elected for off-ice workouts and meetings today rather than an on-ice practice.
As written yesterday, Jeff Carter is scheduled to see a doctor tomorrow for an MRI on his ankle. When I asked Sutter today about preparing for games while not knowing about Carter’s status, he said, “He’s getting better. Nobody is trying to B.S. about it. He was able to put some weight on it (this morning) and he’s feeling better.” More notes and quotes to come…
Sutter, ” April fools he’s out for the season”

@Jeffreyryan, I wouldn’t mind Carter there if we could get Williams on that line before the playoffs to build some chemistry. Move King to Kopis’ line, and put Brown back on the right to keep him ready to switch if we need to later.

Sleep, and icebags for everybody.
Now that Richardson has got a game in, and we know he’s ready if we need him, can we get Westy, and Whiskey in the next game?
Wouldn’t mind sitting Mitchell for a game, or anyone nursing any bumps or bruises.

@Dominick, I agree it would be a good thing but trouble is we dont have any margin for error… yet, anyways. And since the last two games vs the Sharks will definitely have meaning in one way or another, from a ‘putting your best team on the ice’ standpoint I dont think resting any players is in the cards.

@bbb7, Your right. I just think if the Kings are gonna attempt it, Monday is the only chance before the playoffs, because if we win, we will still need the 2 games from San Jose to clinch our division, and home ice.
Since we can’t afford to lose Monday, I was just thinking out loud, but realize whats at stake. I’m fine if Sutter didn’t try it, but just thought I’d mention it.

There is definitely room for creative thinking like this in baseball.
Looking even further ahead, I heard CBJ has another goalscoring no.7 we can get our hands on at the end of the season if we offer the right baggage …
VV is playing well so I’m thinking one of the other profile offensive Dmen, plus a goalie.
Keep JB, he gives us the best chance in head-to-head games against Nashville.
I’ve also heard from many reputable sources (on this blog) that Zach Parise wants to play here. Jeff Carter and picks ought to about do it.
There! Problem(s) solved!

The Sharks can then get at most 3 points against the Kings (suppose we win in overtime). Then two things can happen:
A: Sharks get 2 points against Dallas and end up with 95 as well, then Dallas has maximum 89+4+1 = 94 points, hence Dallas don’t make it.
B: Sharks get at most 1 point against Dallas. Then they end up with at most 90+3+1 = 94 points and Sharks don’t make it.

Nah, 94 is not necessarily enough. If we beat the Oilers and loose to the Sharks in OT once and once in regulation, hence the Sharks have 4 points against us, the following can happen:
Sharks loose in OT against the Stars and end up with 95.
Dallas wins their remaining games (including the one in OT against the Sharks) and end up with 95 as well.

I wonder if the Kings wouldn’t be better off finishing in the seventh or eighth spot as opposed to winning the Pacific. Finishing third will get them the Blackhawks in the first round. Finishing seventh or eighth (depending upon the games this week) will get them the Blues. I’d rather play the Blues, who have few players with playoff experience, than the Blackhawks.

They are playing very well atm and the Blues have cooled off a bit. I still rather face the Hawks though. I’d rather the other team’s weakness be our strenght (goal tending and defense). The Blues actually are better at our strenghts and also better at our weakness (offense).

Blues are dominant at home and I think a long series with the Blues would take a much greater physical toll and impair our second round chances. You’re right about those 2 goalies – they can be imposing when you do get through the Blues’ D.
Chicago is still not sure about getting Toews back. Playing Chicago 1st round gives us about 2 weeks without having to leave CA. I’ve enjoyed watching the Kings / Hawks games this year, too.

To annoy some people I will now tell about my Life for the next 6 days.
Sunday – Last day of my Niece’s Bat Mitzvah (The Party). Yesterday was the Ceremony and it was awesome. She did amazing. I had the job of taking the Torah out of the Ark and putting it back in. I was told that if I dropped it, luckily I didn’t, I wouldn’t be able to eat either for 7 weeks or 7 years. I am not sure which is real, as I got different versions. I also went to Jewish Day school and don’t remember such a rule. Anyway tonight is PARTY TIME!!!!!
Monday – Kings game. Watching my Beloved Kings Drill them Oilers. Party Time #2
Tuesday – Don’t know yet
Wednesday – Will be at the Ahmanson Theater watching Green Day’s American Idiot.
Thursday – Back to Staples and watching my Kings whip the Sharks and send the Guppies back to SJ with 1 game left to clinch the playoff spot, while watching the Kings celebrate them clinching a spot. Party Time #3
Friday – Don’t know yet. Only thing I do know is at night it starts Passover meaning no bread for a week and only Matzah. I really like Matzah but after a week I could throw up eating any more.
Saturday – Night #2 pf Passover and going to a Seder. Then come home and watch the DVR of the Kings walloping the Sharks and winning the Pacific Division. Party Time #4
So that is my week. I will then sleep until Thursday night Round 1 at Staples against Chicago most likely. Nothing like it…NHL Playoff Time at Staples…
GO KINGS GO!!!!!
Now I only did this to annoy some people here
. Don’t expect me to do it again 
Of course if I get a lot of people saying they like it. Maybe I should do a poll

I just tried to make sense of what was going on ad say what I truly felt. With all my heart I truly felt the Kings would make the playoffs and win the Division. Once the Carter trade was made this team started scoring and I felt would keep it up, even after a couple of bad games. I With all my heart I felt the Kings would end the season with 94+ points. I said it back then. I never lorded it over anyone and I would in fact admit publicly that I was wrong if they don’t make it. Outside of Family and a few friends the Kings are the most important part of my life. I am very upset that I have to give up my Season Seats, but I will never change my love for the team.

Thanx! I do know about tix books, as I had season seats from the early 90′s to 2007-08. When we got a Robitaille signed jersey and I saw how the team was doing, I decided to pick and choose which games to attend, instead of every game. I’ve not been disappointed, and the Luc jersey couldn’t be topped.
Grandson will be special, and the LBGP never disappoints.
That just leaves the Kings to get in the playoffs. Anything can happen if they get in, but they DO have to get first. We’ll see. I hope we get to use our tix, dude! Nothing like the deafening sound inside Staples at a playoff game!

@Steve W, If they start at home it will be the 12th since the Lakers play Friday and Sunday, so the Kings will have to play Thursday and Saturday. The Clippers game will have to change to either a night game or a afternoon game. It is scheduled for 3:00 but will either be changed to 12 or night time.

If the LA Kings will make the playoffs for sure if Simon Gagne will be playing for the playoff games so if Mr. gagne will play for the playoff start we need to change the lines for the Playoffs if Mr. gagne returns is
1 Kopitar Carter Gagne
2 Richardson Richards Brown
3 Stoll Williams Clifford
4 Penner Westgarth Lewis so what do you think

@Adam M,
Reading between the lines, I’d have to imagine since Gagne isn’t even close to participating in hard skating practice, you could almost write him off unless the Kings reach the Finals, and even THAT would be highly doubtful looking at it right now.
Maybe possible, but really? Highly doubtful.

@Adam M, Adam, I think you are very brave – and cute.
I joke around a lot, but I am dead serious in telling you, you are one of my very favorite bloggers on the LAK Insider (@Stuart’s too)!
Maybe you could start a regular column. @Jeff_R is much too egotistical, according to marginally less egotistical bretheren.
And, yes, your lines are perfect.
When I do lines, these are the same lines I come up with.
