Kings in the Worlds

Five of the Kings are advancing into the Semis in the Worlds, so that means some of my boys will be facing eachother!

"Drew Doughty (1-6=7) tallied an assist to help Team Canada to a 4-2 victory over Latvia. Canada will play Sweden in the Semifinals on Friday. Also, on Wedensday, Alexander Frolov (2-1=3) and Russia, defeated Belarus, 4-3 to also advance to the Semifinals, where they will play Team USA and three Kings - Dustin Brown (2-5=7), Peter Harrold (0-0=0) and Jack Johnson (4-2=6)- after the Americans beat Finland, 3-2."


Five Kings Advance to Semifinals

Handzus is the only one not advancing with his team, Slovakia, who finished 10th.

-------------------

By the way, Detroit won in Anaheim tonight with a final score of 6-3. Corey Perry had two goals and an assist for the Ducks. Scott Niedermayer also added a Power Play Goal. Marian Hossa made up for the no goal in the last game with two for Detroit tonight, one of them on the Power Play. Franzen had two goals in the first period, and Samuelsson and Zetterberg added two more in the third. 

Chris Osgood faced 28 shots, while on the other end of the ice Jonas Hiller let in five goals on 33 shots before Jean-Sebastian Giguere saw some action. 

So now the series is tied up at 2, and the teams will head to Detroit for Game 5. Good job Wings!
