I think Sutter would rather they play and stay in rhythm for the post season. Last thing we need is a bunch of out of practice guys getting ready for game 1 on the road.

If he isn't injured I wouldn't, sure rest him against the casucks but thats it. We want him in game shape, not trying to catch up in the playoffs.
I vaguely remember a few years ago, the Allblacks (rugby) used a bit of a squad rotation, resting policy building up to the world cup. Lots of guys got injured because they weren't in "game shape".
Also, this:

Doughty still with the team. Did not see a doctor in Vancouver this morning. Team is guardedly optimistic that the injury is not long term.
The good news is Sutter is saying he MIGHT play tomorrow.
So, in other words, he is telling the Kings' world don't worry. But I still would hold him out, because he is indeed "banged up."
Give him a rest.

DD should sit as a precautionary measure. All teams do it in most every sport and the NHL isn't nor should it be any different.
The troll in NYC knows what he can do with his likes and dislikes. DD and anyone else that the team feels needs to sit so that they can be healthy for the playoffs which is what this entire damned thing is all about.

Wait a minute. Bettman? 
troll, gotta love it. Maybe smurf.
I like the guy. But joking about his height is fun.

The impact on the hit didn't look too hard to F anything up seriously. You want Doughty to be in shape and up to speed come playoffs. A few days off (game or 2) won't hurt.
That and with the loss to the Sharks there is no way for the Kings to move up in the standing and with the Cryotes 11 points behind there isn't much chance of loosing the 3 spot in the Pacific. Games from here on out are just pride/moral victories/getting up to speed for the playoffs.

Yeah, I remembered Greene was banged up and it took him a month to get back. When he got back, he was/is playing like crap, then I wish he was still banged up so we don't have to see his horrid performances. With the way A. Martinez is playing now, Greene will be our new Drewiski of 2014.

I'd say he can play the Vancouver game, but he won't to be fresh and ready for the playoffs.
Lol.... The sharks go out looking for blood... And injure players... And the only injury that resulted from the game was our own player causing it lolol

The only problem I have with Doughty going with the team to Vancouver is that he hates that team so much, he might say he's fine just so he can play.
The Sharks only outhit the Kings because the Sharks were the ones chasing all night. The Kings play the Sharks in the 1st round and the Sharks are golfing in 5 games, 6 at most.
I say 5.
Considering how hard the sharks were trying to send a message, the kings still out played them, even though the kings didn't even look like they cared about the game.

Anybody else read Voynov's comments in his voice? I did. Knowing what he sounds like with accent and all. He should do TV interviews more. Heard he speaks perfect Engish.
