Jason Lewis: Game No. 8 Game Day Blog: Los Angeles Kings @ Nashville Predators

Man I really like the Cliff Lewis Frattin line. Though Frattin isnt scoring. He seems to be in all the right places and the puck seems to find him. Itll come for him. I sure hope Scrivens gets the start. The boys seem to be playing better infront of him. Leaving me to belive that something is up with Quick. The guy just doesnt seem into it. Sit him and make him realize what hes missing. I hope Sutter is ripping these guys hard because quite a few of them are playing terrible.

Keep up the good work Jason.

Hey thanks a lot I appreciate it!

Yea Quick has been fighting the puck a little bit in his starts. Not sure what's going on with that.

Looks like Car bomb is back up on the 2nd line tonight with Richards and Carter. Lewis to fourth, stoll to third. Wings remain pretty standard.

% wise. Stoll isnt doing as well as Kopi, Richards, Carter, Lewis and Fraser in the Dot. Id like to see Sutter give Lewis more of a chance at that 3rd C. Hes really coming into his own. I think scoring will start coming with him. Cliff Lewis and Frattin seemed to of started to build some momentum. Im also worried about Greenes skating. I love the man. But hes getting just to slow. Hes gotta start to get back to his ways of just being in position ahead of time. One thing I dont like about Sutter which is the same I didnt like for TM. Is he doesnt give a line combo alot of time to try and gel. He just expects things to happen instantly. Id like to see more from a Kopi Carter line. I been dying to see Kopi with a pure scoring. We got one and he doesnt get to use him.

Man Doughty is almost on a 2 penalty a game pace.

Is it time to panic yet?

WTB Bernier for a Nashville game.

Carcillo does seem to draw penaltys.

Never panic during the regular season. The Kings are built to win in the playoffs and just get by during the regular season.

This team shouldnt just get by in the regular season. Thats the problem. No matter how we're built. We have two of the better Dman in the game. One of the best goalies in the game. Some really good forwards. This team should be challenging for a division title. Mission shouldnt be just to skate by and just make the playoffs.

Nice to see Quick show up in form. Drew was still a bit sloppy. Good win tonight to head back to LA.

Gritty win and great roadie with 6 of the 8 possible points. SJ and Anaheim are playing out of their minds and we are right there with them.

Gritty win indeed. Postgame is up!

I wish I could say that I originated that theory and philosophy, but those were actually Dean Lombardi's words and his strategy he was building the team

LOL. Your trying to tell me that DL's words were to build a mediocre regular season team that can play better in the playoffs? I dont think thats anyones plan.

I love what Carcillo brings to the table. King's have been missing a spark plug like Lappy for a while now.

DL has been quoted in the media multiple times as saying the team is built for the playoffs. I also personally heard him say it at HockeyFest a few years ago. I think he would like to have a great regular season, but the goal is to win Cups and not President's Trophies.
