« 1-0 Kings | Main | 2-1 Phoenix after two »

You all get your wish!

On Blake being sat. He said something to an official right at the end of the first period and got a game misconduct. Wonder what he said. Hopefully he will fess up later. 1-1 at the end of the first. Can't really blame Aubin for Phoenix's goal. Looked like it was deflected off the knee of Tjarnqvist in front of the net.

Ah, good ridance.

He's no good for the team anyways.

Other then pick up two penalties, what else has he done for this team today.

They're a much better team without him.

Watch the Kings win big today.

You're an idiot.

Willsie, Handzus and Calder on the PP? Did I miss something?

I have to agree with Anthony here. Other than his slapshot, he has contributed very little to the Kings this period other than penalties that were completely unnecessary.

Nick said:

ya you missed Crawford being our coach and putting the stupidest line combos out at the most inopportune times

The problem is we want them to bench him. Not screw the team over and leave them a Dman short. Not to mention he took 2 lame penalties, 1 of which resulted in a goal for Phoenix.

We lose him when he's an asset to the team now? Argh... To bad he couldn't have gotten kicked out when he was a liability. And what BS was that anyways? I don't know what Blake said and I'm not doubting it deserved a penalty but a misconduct and a game misconduct?! That's ridiculous. Pathetic move by the Ref. I like how Foxy called him out on it too. I hope he watched a replay of it later...

Actually I blame Aubin on this goal b/c Stuart was ahead of the incoming Coyote, but Aubin chose to go all the way to the side boards to play the puck. This made Stuart back off, Aubin mishandled the puck, had to rush back, the puck was held in the Kings' end resulting in the Coyotes scoring.
Bonehead play by Aubin.

his slapshot hasn't hit the net in years. just look at his plus/minus people, im pretty sure he's the worst d-man in the league.

The new NHL passed him by as you can see. he stays stationary in front of the net and guys just waltz in and bang em home every night on the guy.

I hope JMFJ moves out, b/c the last thing we need is another blake!
