Great period
2-0 Kings after one. After killing three penalties to keep it scoreless, the Kings scored when Cammalleri skated down the ice and fed Calder in front for a one-timer with 5:01 left in the period. Then Dustin Brown added his 10th goal of the season on the power play, knocking through the rebound of a Blake slap shot on his second attempt with 29.2 seconds to go. Ivanans is playing physical despite his fractured cheekbone. He got a boarding call early in the game when he checked Kent Huskins. Ivanans and Pronger would definitely be going at it tonight if not for the injury.

Someone needs to smack Pronger hard enough to widen that gap in his teeth! I hate that MOFO. I've always though he was a cheap player!

I hope Ivanans puts Pronger's face between his knees.
"Ivanans and Pronger would definitely be going at it tonight if not for the injury."
You mean "if not for the fact that Pronger is too much of a pussy to drop the gloves w/ Ivanans."
