let's trade him. the Kings scored 4 the moment he left
how many bags of pucks do we need?
O'sullivan's ripping it up- wish the game was televised.
Man, where are all those "Why did we trade Demitra? people now?
lol 4-0. Woohoo i saw the 1st goal ( even though not televised) when NHL Network had the Bonus Coverage. Nice forecheck by the King, and as i hear the game on the Radio. 3 more goals being scored. From the highlights i saw, Cloutier has been playing good. I'm happy for Clouts for getting the 2nd chance. Everyone deserves a 2nd chance. I'm not saying I thought he would be playing good, but you know he was good at a time, so i'm happy for him and his hardwork of getting back into the NHL. You'd figure JLB would play better that he now has "competition" in Net, but you know he's a schmuck loser crybaby. He's a waste of money and words. Overall playing good, especially Cloutier, but we need to find a fix in goal before Bernier comes, or we will be experiencing 3 straight years (including this one) of the same hockey. Unless the Defense improves, i think a healthy Blake and Stuart are some much needed big bodies. JJ is improving. I mean hell if Lubo even plays well next year. The only need we will be needing is a Stay at Home Defense men. And i think a tough hitting underrated Defensemen. Perfect Example is Mike Komisarek which is obviously very hard to find. Also... the team needs a true 2nd line center. I mean ARMSTRONG, c'mon. I think a guy like Andy Mcdonald or a Viktor Kozlov, something like that. When Brian Boyle matures he will be that guy. So the team needs to work on some pieces, but they do have pieces in the puzzle. Wow i went way off topic. From Cloutier to improvements on the team. Hell, at least they relate. lol
this game is a serious blow in our stamkos playoff seedings.
Lol, all of the Stamkos talking, it really does aggravate me those type of people, i think in this case Shakes is being sarcastic but i dunno. FROLOV HATRICK PENDING ON GOAL REVIEW AND IF CAMMY SCORED. FRIGGIN CAMMY!
Hey anthony- next time you feel like digging in on a Lomardi rant, remember this- it was Lomardi who brought your boy O'Sullivan to the kings.
Oh yeah, Stamkos in 'O8. The future is bright, but right now the Kings suck, so might as well get the 1st overall out of it for once and make the future that much brighter.

What the hell are you talking about? The rest of your post was pretty reasonable...what happened? Listen, JLB this year = Garon last year. He can go be great somewhere else and I won't feel bad because he had his chances here. Still, I would stop short of character assassination.
I've always given DL props for bringing Sully & JJ to L.A.
It's his other acquisitions that I question. Namely his Free Agent acquisitions. They all suck.
Except for Stuart. Who I hope they resign.
Isn't Cammy a reliable second line center? I've never understood why they move him or Sully to line 3 or 4 when they're not on the first line.
He looked good with Fro last night.
Armstrong is this teams heart and soul. He is not going to be traded because we need him. He and Calder is guys u can trust coming in and do what they have been told to do. Have u ever heard army crying that he is been put on the 4 line??? NO he plays his game every game. Hopefully the injury is not serious. DL better trade for my man Tollefsen in Columbus. He is our stay at home DMAN.
