Canucks' number

This is from contributor Don Fulton...

The Kings look to continue a trend of playing the Canucks tough, as they are 3-0 against Vancouver this season, and look to sweep the season series for the first time since the days of Mario Lessard and Marcel Dionne.
It is the role of spoiler that the Kings relish at this point in the season, as all 12 remaining games are against teams either on the postsseason bubble or jockeying to improve their playoff seeding.
Count forward Mike Cammalleri as one of many players disappointed by the Kings' season but motivated to perhaps ruin the postseason ambition of other teams.
"Obviously, we are at a point we wish we weren't in - we're not going to be in the playoffs - but at the same time, playing against teams that are, it kind of gives you the extra motivation to go out and beat them," he said.

Wonder if LORD Cammalleri is "disapoiinted" on his own game this season, as much as the fans are.

Don't think he'll stick around long enough on the team to find out.

I expect him to be gone on or before draft day.
