Los Angeles Kings (3-5-1) vs. Calgary Cammalleris (6-3-1) 7:00 PST, Fox Sports West This are the lines for tonight's game: Moulson-Kopitar-Brown Frolov-Moller(?)-Calder O'Sullivan-Handzus-Simmonds Stoll(???)-Boyle-Ivanans Me and Mutton (the name I gave the dog in the picture) are confused. It was just the game prior that the Kings reunited Patrick O'Sullivan with Anze Kopitar and now the lines have been changed again. Basically the Kings have replaced Alexander Frolov with Patrick O'Sullivan on the stopper line (don't know why) , moved Moller to center (don't know why) , and moved Stoll from 2nd line center to 4th line winger (haven't a clue) . Weird. That 2nd line looks pretty terrible, so hopefully they're not playing big minutes. Should be an interesting game to watch. What would I like to see? Moulson-Kopitar-Brown Frolov-Handzus-Moller O'Sullivan-Stoll-Purcell Richardson-Boyle-Armstrong *** The Kings' biggest problem this season ha...

Rich Hammond is reporting that Patrick O'Sullivan has signed a three-year deal. No word on numbers yet. "I shot him with a small revolver I keep near my balls." I'm starting to wonder if Oscar Moller is being treated like Robert Downey, Jr.'s character in Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang . In the movie, Downey is brought to LA and shown off at a lot of parties by a movie producer to bring down the number on Colin Farrell. The same thing may be happening here. I think the Kings are hoping Ted Purcell and Patrick O'Sullivan see Oscar Moller taking their spots and start working a little harder to improve their game. Then, after 10 games, Moller can go down to Junior feeling better about himself and Purcell and O'Sullivan can join the team properly motivated. Is it a crazy theory? Yeah. Hey, you don't pay for this stuff, pipe down. Awesome Update: The numbers average out to $2.95 million dollars a season over 3 years but will pay him $4 million this year to ...

The Kings have made their final cuts of training camp. The big winners were Wayne Simmonds, Oscar Moller and Erik Ersberg. Simmonds and Moller were expected to come up, get a pat on the head and then travel to their respective minor league teams but both were highly praised all camp and definitely earned this opportunity. I think Moller will play with Kopitar, but he may get slotted alongside Frolov and Stoll. Or Simmonds could. Who the fuck knows. Ersberg ended up beating out Jonathan Quick for the back-up job, which was to be expected. It's more important for Quick to play at this time and Ersberg can hold place until one of the young guys demands attention. The big loser at training camp was Ted Purcell, who was shockingly sent down to Manchester. I guess the Kings felt the rest of his game needed rounding out (or maybe they wanted him to practice left wing, since the Kings currently have a logjam on the right side), but it still has to be a pretty big blow to him.
