Back in the Game

After a miserable loss in Colorado Tuesday (6-1...ouch!), the Kings really needed a win to help get their mojo back. They got it tonight against the St Louis Blues. Sully notched 2 assists and Drew got one. But the ultimate moment of the night was our team captain Dustin Brown's first career hat-trick. For you non-hockey fans, that means Brownie scored 3 goals in one game. Absolutely could not happen to a better guy!!! At last count, Brownie is ranked #2 in the entire NHL in shots on goal. The only person beating him....Alex Ovechkin. Now that's amazing!

My featured video is a fight between Matt Greene (Drew's roommate) and the Blues' Brad Richardson. Greene is 6'4" and Richardson is 6'5", so they were pretty evenly matched. Unfortunately Greenie lost this one, but he got involved to defend an ugly hit against a teammate, so he's still a winner in my book.



Our opposing team "Hottie of the Night" is #4 - Eric Brewer, also the Blues' team captain. A little more clean cut than I usually choose, but a cutie nonetheless....



And I couldn't resist posting some pictures of the Blues' backup goalie - #30 Ben Bishop. He relieved Chris Mason after the second period. Simply put, he is the biggest goalie I have ever seen! At 6'7" tall, the goal post only comes up to his hip!!!! Granted, it didn't help him stop our offense, but he's young (only 22) and will be dangerous when he gets some more playing time under his belt. You definitely can't miss him!



Updates from the contest front.....tonight I wore Sully's jersey, so he and Drew are officially tied 1-1 in the Lucky Jersey Contest.

Next up, the Minnesota Wild on Saturday afternoon. GO KINGS!!!
