I served my 1-GDT exclusion time by not watching the Penguins game after willingly skipping the Bruins game as I wasn't willing to wake up so early that day, so I'm sorry for that. Well, here's my pre-game prediction.

 

[TooCool]

Part 1 - Who is going to score the FIRST goal of the game?
You can take 3 guesses per team
Part 2 - The BJs are struggling on special teams this season. How many total goals will be scored when teams are NOT 5 on 5 in tonight's game?
ONLY 1 GUESS for part 2

Thanks Susan!!!!!! The Kings better not screw up these free two points against the BJs.

Part 1
Kongs - Clarke, Gavrikov, and Dubois (gotta go with former BJs!)
BJs - Gaudreau, Roslovic, Jenner

Part 2
Guess I'll have to go with 0.

Just as I saw some decent seats for a good price pop up, the sky opened up, again. The wife lived near Columbus and since 2002 I usually catch BJ's games. Oh well, not much to say except:

 

[JC6388LAKings]

Arvy gets hurt in his first shift and now he's gone to the locker room. I hope it's not serious. If he's injured and out for a long time again, that's bad news for the Kings.

 

[ChiKingFan]

Pretty p*ss poor start to this one.

 

[VCRW]

They already look terrible. What is the home ice curse that controls this flailing team?

 

[Statue4Deano]

Only upside to shutting Arvidsson down is it gives Blake a nice chunk of cap space to play with once he goes on LTIR.

 

[Clif]

Byfield pressuring and poke checking the puck into the neutral zone is something we can expect now. He had tenacity. It’s something he could rarely do even a year ago.

 

[Statue4Deano]

Took 5 minutes but the Kings finally flipped the on switch.

 

[JC6388LAKings]

BJs score but there's a dispute about it as Clarke appeared to have been pushed into Talbot.

 

[Statue4Deano]

How the hell did the refs not catch that push in real time. My god that was blatant.

 

[Sevenhole]

Interference!! No question

 

[Liz4LA]

Good call!
