Maybe Kopi can't score without Sully feeding him the puck...
Maybe Sully's shot is finally coming back....
Maybe the other teams are just banged up and not playing well....
Maybe my Facebook karma is finally starting to pay off....
Who knows!! All I know is that I like this winning thing and hope we keep it up! Another great game this afternoon against the Minnesota Wild, ending in a 3-1 victory for the Kings. Plus Sully and Drew each racked up another assist.
The video of the night is a dirty hit against Sully, with some quick punishment to the offending player dished out by Kings defenseman Peter Harrold. You'll see Sully in the top portion of the frame getting pushed into the boards and falling down, then Peter going after the offending player and knocking him down in the middle of the ice.
Personally, I think the Wild player should have received a boarding penalty for this. For those of you unacquainted with hockey rules, here's what I mean....
Boarding
Checking (shoving) an opponent so that he is thrown violently against the boards.
Official Signal: Pounding the closed fist of the non-whistle hand into the open palm of the other hand.
The refs (in my opinion) suck and Sully didn't get the call. Instead, when Peter came to his defense, he got called for roughing. Here's the definition, courtesy of Wikipedia....
- Roughing
- Pushing and shoving or throwing punches that are not severe enough to be considered fighting. Also called in non-checking leagues when an illegal body check is made.
Unfortunately no Hottie of the Night for the opposite team. Since Nadine and John didn't make the game due to other commitments, I had to make the rounds and say hello to all our section buddies and ushers, so I got a little sidetracked.
For those of you following the Lucky Jersey contest, Drew now leads Sully 2 wins to 1.
