Now or Never

Welcome all to the kool-aid. As discuss yesterday the Kings will try to find a way to win in a building that has not been friendly to them. The Kings have lost their last 10 games in Calgary with all of the losses coming in regulation. The Kings need this game tonight, not just for the points but for what it would do for their confidence. Stay with here, A young team is going into a building that has been historically bad for them. If the Kings can find a way to win it should boost their confidence a great deal. The Kings right now need confidence more than points, and yes I know points are important. Confidence is huge in sports, and the Kings would benefit from the points and confidence tonight. Maybe someone can hit DD in the face before the game and get him fired up again tonight. Maybe the PP can show up to play tonight. Perhaps the monkey can get off the Train's back. Maybe all of those things can happen, and maybe none of them happen. The important thing tonight is to lay it all out there tonight since they get a few days off at home after this game. Now on to some rumors I am hearing about the Kings. Players that the Kings have apparently inquired about include: Parise, Spezza, Penner, Drury, Fisher. Also without specific players apparently the Kings have spoken to: Buffalo, Pittsburg, and Atlanta. All of this ideas sound great except it all depends on what the Kings have to give up at this point. Remember this team is being built still for the future, so I do not see DL giving up very many prospects or picks. I really only see a few players or the roster now that I would say or tradeable. Here it goes try not to crucify me here: Bernier, Williams, Handzus, Drewiske, and Harrold. Maybe something will go down, but I wouldn't expect a big trade until after the season. The guys that I would like most are Parise and Spezza. Spezza could happen now but I would expect the price to be hefty. Parise won't happen until the offseason due to his injury. I think that trade could truly work for the Kings. I see that deal going something like this. Kings get Parise and a fourth or lower pick, and the Devils getting Bernier, Drewiske, Moller, and a First round pick. I know that seems like a lot for one guy and a prayer, but Parise is a top notch NHL player that would replace Williams on the depth chart. Who really knows what will happen I could be totally off my rocker, but we will all have to wait and see. Remember tonight the puck drops at 7pm.
