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.
Matt,
Will you be in on that call? If so will you be able to update us?
Thanks for all you work....
Matt, Will you transcribe Lombardi's quotes tonight? Please?
