Tuesday practice update

Jill was out at practice today, and she reports a couple quick things...

-- The Kings will not need to call up Jonathan Bernier. Erik Ersberg will be ready to go Thursday, although I'd have to assume that Jonathan Quick will get the start.

-- Oscar Moller has been ruled out for Thursday's game, as expected.

Jill has more stuff that she will post a bit later...

Rich: Might I suggest an open forum since we're moving into the 2nd half of the season?

If you do start one, my question would be do you think Lombardi will trade to get a goal scorer if the Kings continue to hang around the playoff picture? Only 3 teams have scored less goals then the Kings. They don't get into the playoff unless they start putting the puck in the net.

Amen to that.

Perhaps the road will be better for scoring goals.
