Tomorrow's lineup change
Get ready, Scott Thornton. Ivanans' contribution to the game so far has been two dreadful penalties. Looks as though Crawford is already skating Armstrong with O'Sullivan and Murray on some shifts.
4-on-4 coming up after a scrum in front of the Kings' net. Five minutes left in the second period.

Other than an occasional fight here & there, I see no use for Ivanans.
Scott Thornton isn't the answer either.
He's too slow & old for the new NHL rules.
Is that Harold Ballard reincarnated???
