Another edge of your seat game tonight from the Kings, and another loss in a shoot-out, this time to the Atlanta Thrashers. While we picked up a point in the standings for getting to overtime, we're still 5 points away from a playoff spot, and slowly running out of chances as the season starts to wind down. Only 8 home games left, which might be a blessing in disguise since we played so well on our last road trip.
In spite of the loss, both Drew and Sully had great games. Drew had an assist on the Kings first goal, and another one later. Sully also had 2 assists, although his shoot-out luck has been rotten this homestand - another miss tonight.
Atlanta's team is absolutely full of hot men, so we have some Opposing Team "Hotties of the Night." The most obvious is team captain Ilya Kovalchuk, who in addition to being gorgeous scored 2 goals tonight (although he also missed in the shoot-out, so Sully is in good company).
Vyacheslav Kozlov is also great looking, and had the best hockey hair on the team to boot.
And then we have Jordan LaVallee from good old Corvallis, Oregon, who kinda reminds me a bit of Drew. Not as good looking as Drew, of course....but close.
Speaking of Drew, he still holds the Lucky Jersey Contest lead 4-2.
Our next two games are "on the road" but still inside California - Anaheim on Wednesday, and the dreaded San Jose Sharks on Thursday. Then we have another afternoon game at home on Saturday. If I can just survive this week...and some wins would be nice too! GO KINGS!!!!
