High definition schedule
Fox Sports has released the schedule of the 10 Kings games it will broadcast in high definition this season. Of course, they're putting all of the Lakers and Clippers(!) home games in HD, so 10 seems a bit ridiculous, but apparently that will change next season.

Tuesday, November 4 vs. Ducks, 7:30 PM (WEST HD)

Ok, so what's your prediction for the first 3 games?
Next wednesday moring after our first home game agains the dreaded mighty ducks, I think we'll be 1-1-1 with our first win coming on tuesday night!
Looking at the schedule, I'm guessing they aren't broadcasting any HD games after January because they believe the Kings will already be out of it?
I think it might also be the schedule, we have a lot of home games in the first half.
absurd, absurd, absurd... but hey thanks for keeping us informed as usual, Rich
