you guys are starting Kahkonen

excited to see what Chmelevski can do

yeah Reimer’s been really good but he’s been playing a lot with Hill being injured. He deserves a break.

I know.

it was a question

Wishing you all the best tonight (for two different reasons). -- a Kings and Ducks fan

Meier is probably not playing tonight, same with Dahlen.
but we will see i guess its a GTD.

How can you cheer for multiple teams? I can only handle it in the playoffs when the Sharks are out. But I could never cheer for the Kings. This year I go for the Wild.

I'm a transplant, so I don't have to have firm loyalties. When the Kings play the Ducks, I root for a 1-0 overtime game so both goalies' stats improve; it doesn't matter who wins. Except this season, of course, because the Kings play the Ducks twice more and the outcome of those games might determine whether the Kings get into the playoffs.

I respect LA only for Kopitar whom I think has been vastly underrated his entire career. Though, all California teams lack the attention Central and Eastern conference teams get from the league and hockey centric medias. But I think the players secretly like that.

Ya gotta love local-boy-who-came-home-and-made-good Trevor Moore. And Phillip Danault and Viktor Arvidsson, who came to a new team and exceeded expectations.

My hat's always off to King-killer Logan Couture.

And new King Killer - Timo Meier.

I used to be a closet Dustin Brown fan until the knee-on-knee that derailed Hertl's early career. I am still a closet-Doughty fan. But Kopitar is an excellent player and seems like a super classy guy.

Yeah, I like Meier -- a lot.

I understand your antipathy for Dustin Brown. I still despise Filip Forsberg for his dirty hit-to-the-head from behind on Josh Manson, who's never been the same.

And I have a grudging admiration, and a lot of respect, for Brent Burns.

Burns is the ageless wonder. Still top 15 in scoring among dmen, still logs 30 minutes a night. So you're in NY now or Cali?

Los Angeles. Below the Hollywood sign.

Ew. I lived in Ventura for a bit. Hated it. Live in Sydney now.
