Kings-Ducks underway
I'm reminded of earlier this season when Raitis Ivanans expressed dislike for Chris Pronger and the way Pronger attacked Michal Handzus when Ivanans was injured. This is the first Kings-Ducks game since where Ivanans has been healthy enough to fight.
Crawford shook up the lines a little bit. Moulson is playing with Armstrong and Frolov on the second line. Calder is down with Handzus and Purcell.

Ivan, if you to regain my respect, smash that cheap shot artists (Pronger) face against your skate.
I don't care what happens to him or what he looks like after that.
