Picture of the day
The Kings' Richard Clune vs. Colorado's Cody McLeod last night. Also of note...the fact that this picture was taken by an Associated Press photographer named Jack Dempsey...

Great shot!, So Rich will we still have the chat rooms and up to the minute score updates. Will you have your own section on the site. Details ????
Man, how do these guys not break their hands more often?
Very nice action shot.
Jack Dempsey, that's hilarious.
It's too bad so many won't get it.
Sweet photo. Looks like Clune is this army's new criminal.
how stoaked is clune on that photo!!?!?? guaranteed it goes on his wall.
we have been missing a guy like clune since lappy left. avery didn't count, wasn't worth the baggage.
Wasn't McLeod the Av player that was showboating in a game last year after a fight? Working the crowd a bit? Seems like he just got his...)
Well JDM ( (J)ack (D)e(M)psey )
Even I from Sweden know who that is...but I promise I wont reveal the answer ;)
iansez,
Yes! He's also the (bleep) that speared Brownie with the butt end of his stick after a faceoff. Way to go Clune! Maybe we'll see round two this weekend!
Ianez,
McLeod was also the player that turtled against Ivanans last season...:)
In case you did not have a chance to go through the 250 posts on the congratulations thread, this one was absoulutly classic:

i like the ref in the reflection. "blah, blah, blah, just another fight."
One more funny thing: http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/hockey/hockey-wires/story/1247891-p2.html
I guess news travels slow to the east coast. Look who they have as our defensive stoppers. They will probably notice DD in the 2010-11 preview.
Adam Proteau of the Hockey News predicts the Kings finish 10th in the Western Conference this year. He basically says "yeah, they're a good young team, but they're the Kings."

"Look who they have as our defensive stoppers."
Huh? I read the article. It was pretty good. He said Quick was #1, Ersberg #2 and Bernier #3 and he mentioned Doughty. ???
When will we see more cuts?
much better photo here than the one of greene after his fight.
waves -- I read OD and Gauthier will lead the defense in the physical department. I was out of town for a week, did we sign Gauthier?
Gabe Gauthier
The writer was talking about signing Scuds and then said, "He, along with 37-year-old Sean O'Donnell and 32-year-old Denis Gauthier will oversee an evolving defense which paradoxically allowed the second-fewest goals in the Pacific Division despite a last-place finish."
