Two days is just too long to go without games. Go in regulation.

I'm off to Atlanta, so I'll be checking scores on my XM radio.

TSN Ice Chips

Joe Corvo (groin) will sit out tonight's game versus Chicago, Lawrence Nycholat will take his place. - TSN

Forward Patrick Thoresen did not play on Sunday because of the Flu. - TSN

Forward Ethan Moreau (Bruised foot) skated with the team for first time Friday. Following the skate, he said the leg felt good and that he was hoping to be back some time after Christmas. The last game he played was against Detroit last season. - TSN

Andrew Raycroft will start in net for the Toronto Maple Leafs Wednesday versus the Islanders. Vesa Toskala has an undisclosed ailment, hence Scott Clemmensen will back up Raycroft tonight. - TSN

Yeah I watched the Championship DVD and the movie Miracle to get my hockey fix. Now could the Kings pleeeeaaaassse
do us a post Christmas favor and beat SJ in regulation tonight??? I mean really if you aren't going to make the playoffs the least you can do it mess with the Pacific division foes... except us, that is.

The Kings continue to kill us. I don't think they will win another game in 2007.
