Kings center Derek Armstrong left the game in the first with an injury, described loosely (as so many hockey injuries are) as an ``upper-body injury,'' after a hit from Colorado's Cody McLeod.

I guess that's the avalanche version of retribution.
Armstrong got screwed on that play.

The refs were terrible.
They missed two no brainer calls.
The Armstrong one and Milan Heyduk trying to decapitate Sully.
THE REFS SUCK.

Just because TM and DL are good friends and have strong ties - does it mean that TM's job is safe?
Just a question.

When you play as bad as Kings played tonight blaming the refs is absolutely pointless. Blame the team and coaching staff for a piss poor performance.
