Note to commenters
This is Chapter 271 of the Neverending Blog Saga. It's come to my attention that some people are still having trouble commenting. If so, it's most likely because you're still logged in through the TypeKey thing. You don't need to do that anymore. In fact, it's hindering you. So before you post something, log yourself out and ignore the line above ``name'' that tells you to sign in. It's not necessary in order to comment.
I just tried it myself and it worked, so the problem should be solved. For now. If you want to use this as a test post, to make sure your comments will appear, feel free. And the next time one of your IT guys tells you they're upgrading something, unplug your computer, pick it up and run away.

Glad to hear from you Rich. Hope things are going well for you. Matt has been doing a fine job, but YOU are definitely the MAN!
I hope you can comeback someday soon!
Now that we are back on track, Back to the Kings. Looks like they can do two great periods, first it was the first two, now the last two. One day I hope they can play all three peroids! Frolov looks to be on a streak. Let's all hope he can do it the rest of the year. If he does I will personally cook him some of the best cabbage rolls he's ever eaten.
Matt .. why such negative posts during the games? what ever happened to "objective" journalism? Sure the Kings provide enough to be pessimistic about but that is why most of us love this site ... its objective and provides sincere Kings and hockey news.
anon, did you just ask Rich to be objective and then ask to cut back on the negativity? That's a contradiction.
Do you want the happy cheerleading Kings mouthpiece blog that was present before the season started? It's important that these guys are critical when they need to be.
I like the other Kings blogger on your site better!
Ummm...Rich...as an "IT guy" in my day job, I'm not sure I like you anymore! :-)
Gee Rich and Matt tell it like it is and you guys get pissy?
duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Gann...how do you feel about moving to Denver? I know of a few jobs that will be opening up soon, or at least should be. You probably could have solved this whole thing in 15 minutes.
Testing testing... well, if this works, that's good - this is from work though, haven't tried from home yet. After the update on the 11th I could not load the page from home anymore (it just said "Waiting for reply" endlessly).
Hopefully that issue is also resolved now then... we Europeans want our share of the best source of Kings news out there :)
hahahhahaahahaa it works
this should work, right?
Moving to Denver? Nah...I have too much going on here in the LA area...
Whats the status on K.Calders return?
Lets Go Kings!

Checking the New Mexico link.
Check!!
kings!
This is just a test.
To the note about the negative comments during games. I was at the game on Saturday vs. Dallas and I lost hope well before that 4th goal.
So lay off Matt for expressing what everyone else in that building was thinking at the time. Objectively speaking the Kings were done for at the time but hey that just made the comeback even better.
I like teh Kings!
WOO HOO!!!!!
GO KINGS!!!!
Go Kings Go!>Let's go KEEN-Ngs\

testing testing Hey Crawford, PULEEZ use Sully on the PP!! Does Army have incriminating fotos of U or what? And I LIKE Army, he's gritty on the puck & a good passer, but he's got a worse shot than I do, and I'm a 50 year old drunk!
