What about Hockey?

Keeping up with Kings

Ya ya ya...during the month of March basketball always steals the show. But what about all the ruthless toothless hockey players? With less than a month to go before the playoffs the Kings have some major catching up to do. Let it be known that this year's Kings are one of the youngest teams ever. Here are the kids current stats: (30-32-10).

According to ESPN.com their game against the Chicago Blackhawks left them hurting after anoter 4-1 defeat. The Kings also lost 4-1 last week to the Pittsburg Penguins. But, what's got them down? In an interview by the LA Times, they're coach Terry Murray said he thinks it's got something to do with inexperience. And Chicago's coach told ESPN that they were desperate for a win. I think what we have here is a classic case of the underdogs. Or maybe you gotta lose some to win some. But if LA isn't careful... they could get pucked :)

MEANWHILE... The OC Register reported some major foul play going on. The Ducks right wing, Corey Perry accused Sharks goaltender of Evgeni Nobokov of using his skate to kick him in the arm after play had stopped late in the third period. "Everything was over," Perry said. "I was still lying there on my knees. All of the sudden, Nabokov just turned and kicked me."

Those hockey guys sure are brutal. But Perry is no prince charming, he was suspended in January from four games for elbowing Philly Flyers rookie, Claude Giroux, in the head.
