Based on Rudy Kelly's pre-game analysis I felt pretty good about the Kings' chances to destroy the Junior Ducks, but instead the Kings somehow managed to lose 3-1. I cringed when I read the AP post-game report:
The Kings went 0 for 6 on the power play.
Oh goodie, just like old times!
Offseason acquisitions Mike Richards and Simon Gagne played with captain Dustin Brown on the second line and the three were a combined minus-6
Uhhh, excuse me?
And the recap failed to mention that the first line of Penner-Kopitar-Williams was a combined minus-3. So our top two lines were on the ice for every single goal against. Lovely....just lovely.

Westgarth got a little banged up so send him some love |
*I actually really appreciate that the preseason games can be viewed via live stream. I'm just a little confused as to why the quality isn't better.
