    @Goring 19, I thought it was old age, I bought a new flat screen to get rid of the blur.

  10. Kenny44 says:

    Over thinking the PP again. Kings got results just rolling the top 2 lines on the power play during the playoffs. What’s the point of moving Kopi to MR’s line and giving Stoll time?

    @Kenny44,

    So 28 can shoot wide… duh

    @Kenny44, Test the integrity of the high glass?

    [Reply]

    CB14 Reply:

    @Kenny44, Penner should be out there instead of Stoll.

    Also, I remember from last year that it seemed like Drew wouldn’t pass to VV on the PP. I hope the same thing doesn’t happen to Muzzin this year.

    Speaking of Richards, what is wrong with him. Just can’t do anything with the puck.

    Duncanz Reply:

    @Token, Hockey seems to be a tad more demanding than icefishing in Manitoba.

    Loved seeing art on the bench talking to Muzzin. Teamwork.

    Kings are looking good out there so far. Lots of time in the Avs zone.

  16. SLIM says:

    We are definitely playing better this game…
    Playing with great speed…
    Put one in and let them chase us…

    @SVELTE,
    True, although Avs are no Blackhawks.
    Maybe, we finally took some Tylenol for that hangover..

    @Duncanz,
    No such thing as a Tylenol drip…
    Got to go with the stronger meds…

  18. CO Kings Fan says:

    Avs announcer are pretty good so far. You can tell they work for Colorado but are pretty respectful of Stanley Cup Champions Los Angeles Kings.

    [Reply]

    Kenny44 Reply:

    @CO Kings Fan, I did not remember that the Avs had more wins than the Kings last year.

    [Reply]

    CO Kings Fan Reply:

    @Kenny44, I don’t understand your statement.

    [Reply]

    CB14 Reply:

    @CO Kings Fan, Bob said the Avs actually had more wins than the Kings did last year, 41-40. But I realize you didn’t hear that cause you have the Colorado feed.

    CO Kings Fan Reply:

    @CO Kings Fan, ah that’s where the confusion was. I live in CO so I can’t get the Kings feed for the game tonight.

    [Reply]

    Kenny44 Reply:

    @CO Kings Fan, yeah, sorry for the confusion. My reply was not really responsive to your post. I just thought it was interesting that they were being respectful, unlike some would be under the circumstances (*cough* Hayward *cough*). Which reminds me, remember that Fox /Hayward segment when they argued over who would be next to win the Cup? I’ll bet Foxy has that cued up for Feb 2

    Colorado’s breakout speed is going to kill us in the third period if this game is close.

    Sorry if this debate has been had already,

    Richards with the ‘A’? I’m OK with that, though I would’ve slapped it on Scuderi first

    [Reply]

    Duncanz Reply:

    @McDonalds, I like MR getting it.
    Might remind him he needs to step up and lead on the ice.

    [Reply]

    Save, Hrudey! Reply:

    @McDonalds,

    Though Scuds has been here longer, I think part of it might be out of respect that Richards is a former captain himself.

    [Reply]

  48. Duncanz says:

    Satisfactory 1st, tho’ we barely capitalized on the near total domination.
    Not as happy as Foxy about the 4th line being our only penetrating unit 4 periods into the season.
    Plenty of room for improvement from the top 3 lines.
    Quick hardly tested so far.

    [Reply]

  49. KC23 says:

    That forth line looks outstanding. Nolan and Clifford especially.
