Practice notes

Talked to Blake, Crawford and Thornton. Will have those interviews coming. Lombardi was not at the practice facility after practice. The beat writers are going to have a conference call with him at some point today. Blake said he probably will be ready to play by the weekend, but not Thursday. So expect the Kings to bring up a defenseman in the next 24 hours or so.

Dumbardi,
Call up John Klemm. He's a shining propect in this organization.
You've been brilliant thus far today.

I just want to say again how much I hate Rob Blake. If you really care about the Kings organization Rob. . . make this your last season. 6 Mil for us to see you stand in front of the goaltender is outrageous. . . PLEASE, DON'T COME BACK, LA DOES NOT WANT YOU BACK.
