[talking sports picks]

We like a second straight play against the goalie-challenged
L.A. Kings..Kings travel to Atlanta to face the Thrashers.
This is the first meeting between the two teams this year..
Last years Kings 8-6 win means nothing this time around for
plenty of reasons..firstly and we played on this successfully yesterday
is the Kings situation in goal. With number one and two
Goalies Dan Cloutier and Matthieu Garon both out with injuries
giving way to unknowns Barry Brust an Futaka Fukefuji..
Brust played well enough yesterday..but bring on a fresh Atlanta
Thrashers team that has been resting at home since a feel-good
win at Carolina three nights ago..and you have to like Atlanta..
The Thrashers are also due to break out offensively like they can.
.and this could be the Perfect opportunity. Kings losers of four straight
played just yesterday afternoon.and might be a rudderless team right now…beginning withtheir lack of an NHL level goaltender..Thrashers goaltender
Kari Lehtonen has been more than capable having won
20 games already but in front of
him is an arsenal of scorers that have been cool lately..
No team in the Western Conference has a worse road record than the Kings
No team in the Eastern Conference has as few home losses than Atlanta.
And we don’t think it gets any better for the LA. Kings.
We play against the stone cold Kings again.
Our pick is Atlanta to win and cover the goal and a half as
home ice favorites over the LA Kings…
