After today’s morning skate, Jeff Carter said he would play in Game 1 tonight against Vancouver. Carter was part of the morning skate and is likely to play with Mike Richards and Dwight King. No other changes are expected.
Brad Richardson, out of the lineup because of his emergency appendectomy Monday night, has been released from the hospital but will stay in Southern California. More notes and quotes to come…

Stat of the day courtesy of the NY Times hockey blog:
“Since the current playoff format was adopted 17 seasons ago, there have been 68 series matching the No. 1 seed in a conference against the No. 8 seed, and No. 2 versus No. 7. Of those 68 series, 23 have ended in victory for the underdog.”
Pretty amazing upset percentage

Hey Rich, does Sutter ever practice Carter and Kopitar together? I feel like with Kopitar’s playmaking abilities and Carter’s sniping, they would be virtually unstoppable on a line together. Meanwhile, we could still have that second line threat with Richards and Brown or Richards and Williams.
Has this ever even been considered? I read that Richards and Carter never played in the same line in Philly so the whole “familiarity” elements is overstated. Care to enlighten?

@What’s the frequency, Kenneth?, if the NHL was like the MLB and started some round 1 games in the middle of the day, I’da pulled a Ferris Buehler, for sure! I can only take so much Jaffy and Chaser et al!

This is intense!! I have to study for a final today, but all I can think about is tonight!!! Go Kings Go and please win so I can talk nothing but trash to the Canucks fans that laugh at hockey in LA.

Great news that 77 will be in the lineup. I hope 15 gets better soon but he really doesn’t add anything to this Kings team. Kings need solid efforts from all 4 lines tonight. 3rd line is where they need the biggest lift as they have done nothing recently. Anyone notice that 8 has not been mentioned much, if at all, by the pundits? I hope he proves everyone wrong and has a very strong series. He must at least play solid defense for the Kings to win. 32 has got to make all the expected saves and not let the air out of the bubble by letting in any soft goals.
The time is now Kings. Let’s see what you got!

I feel like i have never weighted so long hoping for the arrival of an event that makes me feel nauseous and sick for 3hrs.

@Choralone, Luc wouldn’t do it, but Hex probably would. Hex tried to get the Bolts job last year.
