Matt Murray has been a Kings fan since the late '80s, when Wayne Gretzky grabbed headlines by defecting to the West Coast. Since then, he has been a card-carrying bandwagon member as the club soared in popularity with their sole Stanley Cup appearance to their position near the bottom of the Pacific. But things are looking brighter, as he is anxious to witness the rise of the new Kings.
Kings looking to snap slide
As I was walking up to Staples Center tonight, I noticed it's back to being illuminated in blue. I always hate when they switch it to green for the holidays. Blech.
The Kings need to win tonight. I mean, they need to win every game. But they need to put a notch in the W column, because if they don't, it'll be three in a row. And everyone knows what that's called.
Dustin Brown is playing tonight, thankfully. He's a warrior. He'll be on the top line with Kopitar and O'Sullivan, with Blake and Johnson on defense. LaBarbera starts in goal.
