Monday WTF

by Anne

Ok, look Buffalo, it SNOWS, get over it and drive like NORMAL PEOPLE DRIVE WITH OUT THE SWERVING AND THE PANIC AND THE CARRYING ON LIKE THE APOCALYPSE IS NIGH.

It took me friggin' forever to get to the Arena tonight. I'm supposed to punch in by 5:30 and be on the councourse peddlin' my wares by 6:00. I walked into the Arena at 5:55. And I left a few minutes earlier than normal. Downtown Buffalo was a madhouse. It's like we've never seen snow before.

Then, to make matters worse, most of the Sabres were also stuck in traffic and didn't show up for the game.

Hey, looky there, Martin Brodeur got himself a record-tying shutout. Good thing most of the Sabres weren't there to see it.

So, the Kings played tonight as well. They hosted Jarome Iginla and the Flames. The last time they played the Flames, Iggy had a hat trick and they lost 5-2. Ouch. However, this time, things were different.

The Kings welcomed Rob Scuderi back from his ankle sprain with a 2-1 victory. Hooray! Davis Drewiske sat this one out, so Greener was paired with OD to start the night. By the end of the night things were quite jumbled, but I've always enjoyed the idea of a Greener-Sean O'Donnell pairing. I expected Greener and OD to play in the usual 16-17 Greener time zone, but OD played 23:04 and Greener played 21:41. More than usual ice time for both. Well done, boys. I'm not sure I'd want to skate in between those two. OD is 6'4" 237 lbs, and Greener is 6'3" and also 237lbs. Ouch. Greener was out on the ice against Iggy a number of times and it seemed effective. Iggy was a -1 but managed 4 SOG and 0 points on the night.

Jonathan Quick made 26 saves, Scott Parse and Jarret Stoll scored for the Kings. The defense was solid tonight as several players including Rob Scuderi and Brad Richardfail bailed Quickie out on a few messy rebounds.

I won't even bother looking up Sabres photos considering none of them played tonight. Although Lindy did mention making up for some kind of lack of work after the game. I'm guessing those players that were stuck out in snow banks finally made it for the after-game practice. Oh well, wonder what happened to them?

Also, I love Wayne Simmonds. Just putting it out there.

It's ok Greener, someone will high-five you, right Dewey?
