Blackhawks Open Season at Los Angeles

Found January 09, 2013 on IndianHeadNation:
PLAYERS: Jonathan Quick
TEAMS: Los Angeles Kings,  New Jersey Devils
Anaheim_ducks_v_ff96
According to Chris Kuc, the Blackhawks will open the 2013 NHL season on January 19th at 2 p.m. CT. They will be on the road against Conn Smythe winner Jonathan Quick and the Los Angeles Kings. The cool part about facing the Kings in their first game of the season is that they will raise their championship banner that afternoon in a ceremony to celebrate their Stanley Cup win over the New Jersey Devils last summer. Not a bad way to kick off the season on a motivational note. All 48 games this year will be played within the conference and more details about the full schedule are expected to come out later this week (most-likely Sunday) after the CBA is finalized. The ice will be installed at the United Center tomorrow. You should follow me on twitter here or click the link below. Follow @IHN_DeFrancesco

The last time the Chicago Blackhawks visited Staples Center, Dustin Brown shook off trade rumors with a hat trick, Jeff Carter made his Kings debut, and Jonathan Quick posted a shutout in a 4-0 Los Angeles victory that represented the tectonic shift between the early season Kings and the Kings that would go on to win the Stanley Cup. I think its just a matter of time before the...
