Woot!  Wild and Jets both leap frogged us during this break, but they've play 1 and 3 more games respectively.

I was looking this morning...the Kings have won 6 in a row, 8 of last ten and now 2nd in division and 7th overall in NHL.  They was trash earlier in the season and currently the hottest team in the NHL (last 10 games)

Let's see if we can avoid the shitty game after a break vs a crap team trap tonight, shall we?

We can go ahead and try something other than his glove side anytime now.

11 shots to 3 is crazy, but no goals
