Brown's All-Star experience
Dustin Brown missed yesterday's practice because he still was traveling back from Montreal for the All-Star Game. Brown said he wasn't able to get on the early flight, so he didn't get back to Los Angeles until 10 p.m.
``It was a great experience, especially being in Montreal,'' Brown said. ``It was a good chance to get to know those guys.''
He was thrilled to get to know Shane Doan and Mike Modano, guys he's played against but never had a chance to get to know.
Brown hadn't had much time to chat with his teammates since returning, but he said he's not going to prompt a conversation about it.
``If they ask about it I will, but it's something I'm sure a lot of these guys will experience,'' Brown said. ``I wasn't sure what to expect, but the NHL wants you to go up there and have a good time.''

He was on my flight there and back.. he probably thought my buddy and I were following him.
brownie...good job...in fact, great job...you did a fabulous job of participating in all aspects of the game...on and off the ice...and you represented the kings proudly...
anyone who says otherwise needs to get their head examined...seriously...!
I know that Shane Doan isn't popular with some readers of this blog, but I'm glad to see that Brownie thinks highly of him. Doan always gives the Kings fits, and I
give him a lot of credit for coming to play every night even when his team is floundering. I would take Shane Doan on my team any day.
is anyone else going to be the game in Montreal on Saturday? I will be proudly wearing my Brownie jersey (and dad is gonna wear KopiStar) but was hoping that there would be some more purple and black around.
I'll be there wearing the black third jersey. Hopefully we'll be cheering the team on to victory!
