Thanks Harry. I knew that, so I have no idea why I wrote Anaheim.

I'm a little bummed Doughty's not playing. Oh well, cant wait till tomorrow, its been a long summer.
Gawd I hope the Ducks dress Artyukhin. Will be worth the price of admission. If the Ducks are smart they will get this over with in the pre-season.
Via Ducks beat writer J.P. Hoornstra:

This is the first year the Kings will have more fire power than the Ducks in a preseason game. Enjoy
