  2. I'm on the Kings bandwagon now that Robyn Regehr is part of the team. Have known Robyn for 12 years and he is a great guy. Go Kings!

  5. Add JFK to the list....PT109.

    But I don't think anybody compares to Jackson. Killing people in duels, war experiences, etc, etc.

  6. I've been using a CPAP machine for about 3 years now. I definitely notice the difference. It is a serious condition, best of luck!!

    On the upside, if it lasts for the entire season the Canucks won't suck as much...



    And the Kings may hold the Cup for 2 seasons!B|:P


    Unfortunately, that wouldn't surprise me.

  8. I also would recommend doing the pool and classroom work and exam (I did PADI course) at home before leaving and then all you have left is 4 open water dives. My son and I did this in February in the middle of winter in Saskatchewan and then flew to Maui. We had arranged for our open water dives to be completed in Maui before leaving and two days after arriving had done two great shore dives and two awesome boat dives! Then, we were free to rent gear for shore dives or go on more boat dives...which we did!

    I'd recommend either getting certified before you go, or doing a "referral" course, where you do most of it at home, including pool work, and the open water part there. That way, you can have more time out on the reefs when you get there.



    This!
    I spent a week in the FL Keys, and because I was getting certified, I spent a huge amount of the time in a damned pool, instead of the ocean. I went snorkeling in the ocean after the class every day, but I only got certified on the last day, then of course the wind & waves came up so we couldn't go out to the reefs.>:(

  9. He woke up in a big way!

    I'm really sad to see this ending in a blowout especially with the missed call and then the major and misconduct. I was hoping for another nailbiter.

    Congrats to you and the other Kings fans .... You've been waiting a long time!

    Glad they're not getting in trouble for defending themselves.

    No kidding. That's the most basic right of everyone on the planet.



    You'll notice that it happened in Canada.
    American pc douchebags would be fighting for the rights of the criminal.

    As for the cops telling people not to get involved with their own safety I whole-heartedly disagree to a certain point.
    If you feel you are capable, take the fucker down. You may be right, you may be wrong. But, at least you'll be the one making the decision.

    Can you imagine if everyone listened to police? Crime would rise if they knew no-one would resist. THAT'S what they expect already. THAT's why the try to rob the place.



    JT - Canada is a bad place to defend yourself especially with a weapon. I think our in Canada laws are tilted way too far in favour of the criminals.

    Williams had that first post shot.

    Brown has been quiet in the scoring department, but he hasn't been "quiet." He's doing a lot of little things. DeBoer has done a good job of working around the Kings' No. 1 line (remember at the beginning he was but the PArise line against them? It just shut down the Parise line).

    What I'm seeing is Williams just taking his turn. All the stuff Williams was doing before that helped Brown and Kopi is what's being done now for Williams. Williams does not look at good as he does without Kopitar and Brown doing some stuff.



    Just remembered Brown made a great move to cut around the defence from left to right in front of Brodeur and Marty pokechecked the puck away and took away a stellar scoring chance. Without Brodeur's great play, he may have poked one home and made some "noise".

  12. Didn't Williams have one of the post shots yesterday? Brown seems to have gone quiet? Any chance he is hurt?

  13. 1942 or so Chuck....even before my time ;-) i just read that the last team that took it to 7 games after being down 3-0 was the Wings in 1945 who lost Game 7.

    Devils are 4-8 in Games 1-3 and 10-1 in games 4-7 .... they have been getting better as each Series has gone on. In regulation, except for Game 3, Brodeur has given up 1 goal per game. He is a contender for the Conn Smythe and if the Devils pull off a win should win it imo.

    I thought the Devils were done after Game Three but now I can see them winning. They seem to have the momentum and the bounces are going their way. Game 6 is going to be awesome!

  14. And 4 posts by the Kings. Sometimes things go your way and sometimes not. Every game in this series, except Game 3, could have gone either way.

    Are the Kings going to choke?

  15. And now things are getting interesting! Devils win 2-1 and make it a series.

  16. Conn Smythe pick - Jonathon Quick. I think Brown has fallen out of contention in the Finals....he's contributed but just not as impressively as in previous series. Quick has been outstanding throughout.

  17. I really hope that the league and players don't squander the positive pr coming from a Kings win. I don't know about all the contracts for the Kings but they sure have offence, defense and goaltending covered.

  18. Whether the Kings win tomorrow or it takes them another game or two the only question I have now is this:

    Can they repeat?

  19. 3-0 nice pp goal. I think Game 4 is just a formality.

  20. Goal Kopitar....pretty passing play that should have been blown dead for a hand pass. Snakebit.

  21. Devils are snakebit. They get a pp and then a 5 on 3 with the high sticking penalty and promptly take a penalty themselves. Big opportunity blown. They are passing too much and seem tentative.

  22. I didn't see the game but did hear that the Devils played very well and your. Omments just confirmed that. I thought the Kings were better in OT...Brodeur kept the Devils alive as long as he could.

    Three stars for both games:
    1 - OT Goal scorer
    2 - Quick
    3 - Brodeur

    Hey, when teams start getting the lucky breaks....it just could be their year! I've been real impressed with Brodeur...at 40 he is playing unbelievable but I have the feeling he is not going to get another Cup for his efforts.
