Holy ****! Backman, Johnson, and Rucinsky! That's amazing three guys on the IR! All of whom suck. The Kings have two players on IR, what's the difference. You make it sound like every injury is his fault. Backman broke his foot blocking a shot something that happens quite often, Pronger broke his last year I guess Randy Carlyle pushed him too hard. Rucinsky and Johnson are down with shoulder injuries. Guess Andy has them doing too many push ups in practice.

Just look at their roster. They have really only 4 scoring threats in McDonald, Boyes(Who is over achieving with 30 goals already), Kariya and Tkachuk. McClement, Stempniak, and Backes have not played as well as they should have. Stempniak who had 52 points last year is on pace for 46, so he's had a pretty crappy year considering you'd hope a 3rd year player would put up better numbers. While Perron is putting up good numbers in his rookie season you cannot expect to rely on him.

Their defense blows. Brewer has under performed as well as Jackman. In Goalie Legace has been spectacular but the Defense is so bad often he's giving up 5-6 goals a game. Murray can't put Toivonen in because he has been even worse.

Beating a Dead Horse, accomplishes nothing. Especially when there is no ****ing horse to beat.
