GDT: Game #55 : Kings @ Capitals - Saturday, 2/12/’11 @ 9:30 AM pst

[Josh Deitell]

For what it's worth, Green will play according to On The Fly

[Hollywood]

To have Green back is good for us with our dump and chase style... Green is on the weaker side of men on the blueline and if we actually do it properly then we could have a proper style against these Guys...
I just hope Zeus is not the first forechecker ever... as it is a guaranteed out for the opposing team due to extra time...
I guess it is how hard they hold the red line...
I suspect if we gain the lead early, we could frustrate them...
I just hope Terry is open to different strategies depending on how things play out after the first period...
Go JB

[BigBrown]

Nice, a game at 6.30 PM my time. The Kings should play this time more often

[two out of three*]

I'm just glad Richardson is healthy scratched again. He works way too hard, and is too effective out there to be in the line up.

haha so true

[ROBITAILLE]

Go Kings GO

I dont get get scratching Richardson, I think if we play Westgarth we should sit Clifford.

[Albi]

Game starts at 6:30 pm here in Italy...a decent time for a change!
This time, you watch a game in the morning (even though it's not 4:30am italian time for 7:30pm home games in LA).

This game is must win material.

[SFKingshomer]

I can't find this game on my guide. Probably isn't on here.

[Butch 19]

I give us a good shot.

Go Kings Go!

[alpa]

Just make us believe again...and please get out of the closet Kopi and just get back to the Kopi we all miss.

I give us a good shot.

Damn you stats!

[KingsKnight]

Holy crap it's early. If the boys really believe they deserve to be in the playoffs, they better start showing it. We've done pretty well on this road trip so far, but a point isn't a substitute for a win at this point. Time to make a statement.

I give us a good shot.

Go Kings Go!

[RAZZIE King]

Can we put Terry Murray's brain on the IR as well???

Ovechkin is your difference there. The guy has had a bad season.

[KingCanadain1976]

[Orenji]

Bets on how long it takes for Westgarth to set up a staged goon fight?

I'm going for 12 minutes into the game or 1 minute after we go down 1-0.

We will then never see him again on the ice except for when we need a goal.

Damn I'm tired lol

And in case the game takes a turn, at least Sponge Bob is also on right now.

I think they've implemented a new, more defensive minded system this year.

Surprisingly the Kings and Caps have very similar team stats:

Goals Scored Per Game:
LA - 2.68 (17th)
WSH - 2.69 (16th)

GAA
LA -2.41 (6th)
WSH - 2.38 (5th)

PP
LA - 17.3 (17th)
WSH - 17.0 (19th)


What's interesting though, is that LA is built from the bottom up, while WSH is built from the bottom down. It makes for an intriging match up.

If the Capitals played in the West they might not make the playoffs this year.

So Kopitar wasn't demoted.

Zeus and Simmonds were just promoted.
