The boys took a hit against the Kings Monday night.
One thing I noticed was how people put LaBarbara up on such a pedestal after his play a few games ago and now they are practically asking for his head. I was not happy with this signing and I knew that he wouldn’t always play amazing but I will say the loss to LA was no entirely LaBarbara’s fault.That loss was a team effort. I can’t think of one player that was amazing Monday night but I can think of a lot of guys that just weren’t quite there.
I said it at the start of the season…. the team to beat would be LA and people laughed at me. They said, “Yah right”. And I just kept saying we had better watch out. They are quite similar to us in where their rebuild is at and they are hungry to win.
I believe part of our problem could be that we only had about 17 SOGs at the end of the 2nd. That is not going to get you 6 or 7 goals. You need to keep shooting at the net boys, eventually it will go in. And those 17 shots we did take? They were pretty weak. We spent way too much time in our own zone. When we finally would get control of the puck we’d sit in the neutral zone because we couldn’t penetrate the King’s zone. There was just poor effort all around. Jovo was back to his damnjovo self. What happened to the Jovo I was cheering for against the Ducks? Can I have him back? He might actually be worth 6 million/season. I took some great pics. I will try to get them up soon.

In other news Boedker was recalled today. Scottie was injured in the Kings game and may be out for a few games.

And finally, seems the Flyers have a bout of the flu. Get well soon boys! I need you all here and healthy on 11/21. I would be very disappointed if I didn’t get to see you all play!

Aiight, time to pay attention to the Colorado/Coyotes game. Boys are stinking it up again. We are down 1-0 after the first. Booooooooooo
