    I'm officially chomping at the bit for the NHL season to start. As soon as the NBA finishes my sports purgatory begins. NFL has helped, but I'm ready for some (Kings) hockey. I won't go into the Doughty hold out, but anyone else chomping at the bit??? I think my boycotting the (McCourt) Dodgers is adding to my anticipation.

    My copy of NHL 12 relieved my anticipation for a little bit... Until I started getting my ass kicked. Going from NHL 10 to 12 is like going from NHL 10 to Madden football... The feel is completely different!

    Let Go Ducks! Anaheim all the way- Stanley Cup, Heart Trophy Winning Corey Perry, Selani, Getzlaf, Koivu, Sexton, Lupol, Hiller, Big Bobby Ryan.... Best Hockey Club in the world. My San Hose-Gay & Drive By Shooting L.A. Kings fans can try and talk crap: Yada yada yada- We won the cup! Ha ha ha! (Obviously we love hockey!)

    Go AVS Go!!! It's hard to hear all the trash talk between the Ducks & Kings fans with two Stanley Cup rings plugging my ears.

    I take the train often to games, so Danny K's is a bit out of the way for the walk.
    Since this is a bike related site, we should ride bikes to a game.

    I've been wanting to do that for awhile - either a matinee game using the SART or combine with train.
    There are bike racks on the north side of the Ponda Center.

    A few pics from KINGS practice...

    Big fan of our goalies!
    [​IMG]

    Jack Johnson
    He upset me more than he made me cheer last season (time to take it to the next level)
    [​IMG]

    Jarrett Stoll
    One of my favorites... Always gives it his all! :clap:
    [​IMG]

    Coach called everyone over. Made a few adjustments. Resumed practice 2 minutes later!
    [​IMG]

    Matt Greene
    All I ask is that he take fewer dumb/lazy penalties than he did last year! (BTW- I'm a fan)
    [​IMG]

    Teaching... Teaching and more teaching!
    [​IMG]

    Coach was not happy with Westgarth...
    [​IMG]

    THIS is why I like the KINGS...
    (Brotherhood. Friendship. Good People. Team oriented players)
    [​IMG]

    They moved to a second rink for the 20 minute SPRINT session

    Lucky for the KINGS... (not one but TWO awesome goalies)

    Good times

    Dustin Penner
    He didn't help the Kings AT ALL last season. He looked slow. He looked lost!
    [​IMG]

    Coach was NOT afraid to shoot the puck!
    [​IMG]

    Colin Fraser
    Was not cleared for contact (hence, the reason he had a private workout)
    Pretty sure the Kings got damaged goods... Hope the injury heals up quickly!
    [​IMG]

    If he gets healthy... :clap:

    Dino, your last pic is why the Kings won't win the cup.

    And yes, you guys traded for damaged goods. He should heal, but you got screwed.
