Tuesday (10/9) practice
Another long practice with quite a bit of verbal ``encouragement'' from Marc Crawford. As I type this, the Kings are just about wheels-up for Dallas and tomorrow night's game against the Stars.
-- Who's in goal? Andrew Raycroft. Oh wait, sorry... Crawford wouldn't say, but I'd bet a large sum of money that it's Bernier, just based on circumstantial evidence in practice today. I could be wrong, but I'd be very surprised. Plus. Crawford said he already let the starter know. Both of them said they didn't know, but I think Bernier is a much better goaltender than he is a poker player...
-- O'Sullivan practiced with his big Darth Vader shield today. He was spared surgery yesterday, but still faces more trips to the dentist to see if the teeth that got re-inserted in his mouth will be able to live. Fun stuff!
-- Crawford said he's planning on one or two changes to the forwards tomorrow, but wouldn't elaborate. That means the return of Thornton and/or Zeiler.
I talked to Cammalleri about his own play and about the power play, so I'll get that stuff up later. And some good news...the next software update on the blog will allow the un-blocking of all the IP addresses. I don't have a timetable on this yet. Our local guys in L.A. are hard at work at getting this done. If they got more support from people in other places, it would be great! One can always dream...

i think its extremely important to start bernier tomorrow. it will show both the team and him, that crawfords confidence is with bernier, and i think that will only help.
Rich, You're F'n hilarious, man.
Great stuff Rich.
Yeah, I hadn't heard anyone mention it, but Thornton looked far from happy at the home opener. When the camera showed him on the jumbotron, it looked like he was pissed off to have to stand behind the bench in a suit instead of skating out. It was like they were waiting for him to acknowledge the crowd or smile or something, and he was having none of it and appeared anxious for the camera to pan away.
I could have sworn I saw you today....anyways,porr Sully.he looked so uncomfrtable with his mask.I asked how his mouth felt.."sore"
Screw Thornton. He needs to contribute to play. Did nothing last year. Forget "leadership", we need production from him.
Here Here Anonymous,
I don't why Lombardi signed him in the first place.
Of I know, he once played for his former team, San Jose.
