Greetings fellow Kings fans!

It's been a tough week. Somehow I just get the feeling the worst is behind us. Hope springs eternal, you know. ;)

I've totally rearranged everything KINGS in my living room. It just seemed as though the usual rituals wouldn't be enough. Hopefully all the bad karma is now gone and the Kings will get back on the winning track in a few hours.

**Commercial break** As always, this play-by-play is possible because of the generosity and dedication of our board owner, Jeremy. If you would like to help defray the costs of keepings Kingsfans.com up and operating, please consider becoming a Contributing Member. More information is available in the stickied thread at the beginning of this forum. **End Commercial Break**

We have a couple of ways here at Kingsfans for people to follow the game. First, of course, is this thread - the play-by-play which I do to provide people without TV or radio coverage a feel for the game. In addition, there's the game thread started by piksi. That's where you go if you want to have an online discussion of the game during the game with other Kings fans. Also, there is a site that provides links to online radio broadcasts. At www.thegamelive.com you can check out the available broadcasts. For the most part, they do not include Kings broadcasting teams.

Now, I have a couple of things to do, including the bringing of firewood from the front porch into the house. It's cold and rainy up here in the forest, with just the slightest hint of "cammy gear" on some of the raindrops. All in all, a good afternoon for a Kings game!!

GO KINGS!!!!!

House Party - And Tank Thompson says he thinks the officials were punishing Cat for his prior outbursts by not calling the goal-tend. At this point, I'm done worrying about it. The officials want to make it personal and punish players? Fine. They can continue to attempt to make it more about themselves and their little punishments until it becomes a travesty.

At this point, I'm really hoping the Kings use this last week to take themselves to a higher level. They are capable of playing at a level that would pretty much absorb all but the most blatant tampering by officials. It's up to them to do it...and I think they can!!!

GO KINGS!!!!!

Koz, reporting from Boston, says he's getting the feeling the Kings ARE going to use the past events as a springboard. Way cool!!!

Random observation: I would certainly like to see Miller, Webber, Darius, etc. go inside a bit. Not sure why they haven't. As I say, this is simply a random observation. :D
