WAIT A MINUTE!

I thought Gabe Vilardi is a Rob Blake BUST? Bad Back? Fire Blake! Drafting damaged goods!

Can someone find that one poster (wasn't me) who claimed Gabe was a B-U-S-T?

That delayed penalty sequence had me on the edge of my seat! I've never seen a delayed penalty take that long to be whistled dead. Too bad Cal didn't get the shutout...he certainly deserved it...but not much you can do about goals like that. 6 wins in a row?! Who are these guys? This is fun!

Thanks for posting that, probably my favorite play from last night.

There's so much to like about this kid, I don't know where to start. He's big, he's strong, has great hands, plays hard, reeks of confidence...and most importantly, smart, with great instincts and what appears to be a high hockey IQ...intangibles you can't teach.

In my opinion, he has the highest ceiling of any of the young Kings. And he's fun to watch. Oh, and he's Italian (our last names are very close...three letters off), which pretty much inks him as my new favorite player.
