Penalty Minutes: Mark Giordano (18; 1-3=4)
A stick tap goes to: Jarome Iginla. The 35-year-old franchise cornerstone has brushed off quips about his impending decline by rallying for six goals in his last six games after scoring once in his first 16. If we’re talking bigger picture, he has 523 career goals and has recorded at least 30 in every season since the turn of the millennium. There’s also the whole philanthropy thing – he donates $2,000 for every goal he scores and has provided over $600,000 for KidSport Calgary. He won the King Clancy Memorial Trophy for his humanitarian work in 2003-04.
A fist shake goes to: General Manager Jay Feaster. Calgary isn’t an upwards-trending team, and his recent trades and acquisitions have been lateral moves that have delayed a full rebuilding project. The system isn’t stocked with pristine, surefire talent – though top prospect Sven Baertschi has a bright future, he was reassigned to the AHL earlier today after registering as many points in 10 games (one) as hip flexors – and 11 players have already celebrated their 30th birthday.
Why the Kings need to win this game: Calgary will be faced with a significant challenge to make the playoffs, and the Kings need as many points as they can get in the tight Western Conference. The sixth-through-eleventh ranked teams are all playing each other, and already one of those games (SJ-STL) has resulted in three points being awarded. Jonathan Quick needs to continue to find his rhythm.

Kings’ get a little more production on the PP and a little more balance in goal scoring and we will be in good shape.
A little production from Williams, Penner, and King would be huge.

@Osaka,
Penner has to close to burying a couple. This is best he has ever looked, during the regular season, in a Kings uniform. Hopefully that line keeps producing offense, and the Kopi line starts picking it up.
The nice thing is that we are getting secondary scoring along the way. Not a lot, but it is there. Richardson is the only forward that doesn’t have a goal this season, and he’s only played one or two games.

@Jess
Dallas used a switch tactic where a wing shows himself to the Kings D, who think that’s his man, then the Dallas wing hangs back to keep the Kings D stationary while a Stars D jumps up with speed. It really confused our coverage a few times. The one time it was totally inexcusable was when Jagr lined up at the point, the Kings lost him in the switch and they scored.

Another obvious difference is the amount of experience. JMFJ is still making glaring mistakes in coverage because he gets puck focused. I can’t count the number of times he left a guy open on a 2 on 3 because he’d be staring at the puck.
If Muzzin is still making those mistakes when he has as many games as Johnson, he’ll be doing it with another team, too.

Per Darren Dreger, If Perry wants to test free agent market Anaheim will trade him. Don’t want to risk getting nothing for him like the Suter and Parise situations last summer. The Kings are one of the teams he says that is very interested in acquiring Perry.
Even if it was just for a rental, that would be a nice pick up!

@phil sykes, Would the Ducks get nothing for him? NJ got nothing for Parise and Nashville got nothing for Suter. The Ducks want to sign Perry, it is up to Perry. He reported some GM’s around the league think it will take 9-10 mil a year to sign Perry.
He never said the Ducks would trade Perry to LA, he said LA has a lot of interest. A 3 way deal is possible.
By you calling someone a “dumb mother”, you define yourself, not the other person.

@Osaka, I don’t think any player in the league is worth 9-10 million, but if Gatzlaugh got 8.25, then Perry is worth atleast 9. I agree with you that the Quacks won’t let him walk for nothing. Not with what happened last summer getting burned by Schultz.
Osaka Reply:
March 9th, 2013 at 6:09 pm
@CB14 Oh I forgot about Schultz!
Agreed, that seems like a ridiculous amount of money for him.
Carter and Richards long contracts don’t look so bad to me now. In a couple years that will be 3rd line player money. We are already paying a 3rd line center $3mil.

@Osaka, Someone mentioned the Perry to the Kings rumors earlier, and I still don’t think there’s a chance of it happening. The Kings would have to give up a huge amount of talent for the Quacks to trade him to a divisional foe, yet alone the Kings. One of our best tradeable assets is someone they don’t need, Bernier, and I don’t see how the Kings could afford to re-sign him next season and fit under the cap.
I guess it’s possible they trade top prospects for Perry, and then trade Williams and Stoll in the off-season to try and re-stock the prospect pool. But even if they could do that, I’d hate to have to root for Perry. I could live with Getzlaugh or Ryan, but I can’t stand Perry.

It isn’t going to happen. Anaheim does not let him walk to a division rival so that WE can knock THEM out of the playoffs. Even if you COULD get them to sit down and talk the price for a couple of months would be absurd.
