But I've had a few to drink so take that with a grain of salt.

Datsyuk is awesome in every way.
You need to relax. Look at the Preds; name a single forward on our team that would be on the top three lines of Detroit / Vancouver / etc. In my honest opinion, there isn't a single one. The point is, Kopitar is obviously huge, but someone will step up. Tootoo, who I usually hate, came out of alcohol rehab and has been fantastic. The Kings will find talent somewhere. I see the West ending up as 5) Yotes, 6) Preds, 7) Kings, 8) Hawks with the Hawks pulling off a 1 v. 8 upset against the Canucks. The Preds can advance to the 2nd round for the first time ever against any team except the Sharks; fucking debacle playing them.
You have the Ducks moving up to 4th?
And not to really sound like a dick or an ass but I mean, the Preds havent exactly gotten out of the first round either. Dont get me wrong, I like the preds and respect them, I just dont see how we can take out any of the top teams in the first round missing our best offensive and defensive forward.
1. Vancouver
2. San Jose
3. Detroit
4. LA
5. Nashville
6. Phoenix
7. Anaheim
8. Chicago
Airballed on the standings, shift everyone up one with the Ducks somewhere between 6 and 8. Don't really understand your point; Kings are a solid team, they will make the playoffs. I know the Preds haven't won a playoff series, that's why I said "The Preds can advance to the 2nd round for the first time ever against any team except the Sharks; fucking debacle playing them." Preds have done extremely well this year against the Red Wings and Canucks, that's why I think we can make it out of the first round. Frankly I'd rather be a 7 or 8 seed and play either of them than the Yotes or Sharks. Sharks have been Nashville's bane since inception. Pekka Rinne is an equalizer of ridiculous proportions; if he's on, there is no stopping the Preds. That said, I'm not a blind fan; there's still a chance they don't even make the playoffs and a 60%+ chance they lose in the first round.
eh, I guess the point I was making as that we will miss Kopitar for much more than his offense. The Kings are a good defensive team, but we need some other players to start stepping up and scoring goals.
Brown has been looking better lately, and hopefully Smyth's goal today gets him jump started again. And Penner... I can see what Oiler fans hated about him, lol. We can still make it, esp with Dallas not playing well as of late.
I dunno, maybe im just really fucking depressed right now losing our top 2 players in the same week and not thinking right. Guess all I can do is wait for the next 2 games on the road and see what this team is really made of.
Well, Williams was having trouble scoring goals for awhile before he got injured too and LA still played well.
And and also, appears even after knocking back 6 beers and half a can of Four Loco I can still think logically:
Damn four loco doesn't mess around.
Friend me so I can like that, lol.
Now I haven't been following enough of the season to know why Corey Perry has all this hate, but I take it he's who everyone hates while Crosby is still injured? Lol
Calli said it best. Sort of like Sean Avery, plus 40 goals, minus the fashion sense and famous women he's screwed.

Going into the third, definitely ready to call it a season. Still a flicker of hope though, and we have something like 4 days until our next game, haha. Let's see where we're sitting then.
Previously I didn't like Crosby because he was just so massively overpromoted, but I respected him as a player due to his immense talent and work ethic.
Then I saw 24/7, and learned that he really is the whiny, insolent, crybaby fuck that everyone accuses him of being, lol. After that series I thought better of even Cooke than I did of Crosby.
24/7 made me really like Marc-Andre Fleury. Dude is funny as hell.
2pm start for the Canucks today, early afternoon drinking ftw!
been watching Manitoba/Abbottsford, so weird watching a game where Rick Rypien is the best player on the ice lol
