Willsie hurt

Brian Willsie woke up Sunday morning with a sore lower back. He wasn't in discomfort during the Dallas game and can't point to any specific play where he got hurt. He just woke up with the injury. Willsie didn't practice today. He might be able to go tomororow in Edmonton but it's tough to tell at this point.

``I hope I wake up tomorrow morning and it feels great,'' Willsie said. ``Some injuries are a little more straightforward but, with a back, I don’t know.''

As a precaution, the Kings are likely to call up a player from Manchester later today. Jon Klemm could be back quicker than expected. However, Crawford was talking as if a younger player was possible.

Our first chance to see Purcell and the Kings go on a 3 game road trip that wont be televised on FSN. This blows.

Maybe Willsie hurt his back and got whiplash, too, when he looked at the Kings stats in the newspaper and saw how badly he has played this season?
