[fieldset=COACH & PLAYER QUOTES]

"At the end of the day, we didn’t get the result that we want. Let’s just say we haven’t been playing our best hockey and sometimes you say at the end of losing streaks and at the end of winning streaks sometimes you’re losing games you shouldn’t, and sometimes you’re winning games you shouldn’t, as well. That was probably our best 60 minutes in a long time. Now we’ve got to forget about the last 10 seconds. We’ve got a game tomorrow, and probably, especially in a shortened season we won’t have time to sit here and talk about ‘what-ifs’. I think if you continue to play like we did tonight, you’ll start to see more wins than losses."

"That was our best game of the year, Playing like that, you're going to win more times than not."

"It was good. It’s always tough jumping into a new team with new systems, and stuff like that, but I thought I caught on and was just trying to play simple tonight. I thought we put in a solid effort tonight. Their goalie made some big saves, kept them in the game. But I think overall we played a really good game. We’ve got to build on that and keep going forward from there. With the effort that we had tonight, it’s great to get right back into it tomorrow night against St. Louis. Like I said, just build on that effort tonight. We did a lot of good things. Just continue to work hard, stick to our game plan, and I think things are going to turn around and work out for us."

"We played a good hockey game, We played a hell of a game again. Disappointing. Remember, I hate to say ‘I told you so,’ but I told you so. Three-two. We’ve been mixing lines up, trying to get more some more out of our top guys, quite honest. I liked the Richards line tonight. I thought Kopi, it was his first game where he…looked like he had some bounce in his game, so that’s a good sign."

- UPCOMING SCHEDULE -

NOTE : Regarding LARGE SIZE IMAGES / YELLOW RE-SIZE IMAGE BARS ABOVE PICS, let me offer up one nice little suggestion ...
This will get rid of those pesky yellow resize bars over the top of some larger pictures ... as they annoy the hell out of me and maybe they do you also ?
- Go into/click on your "USER CP" {control Panel} up top left in the red bars
- on the left under 'Settings & Options' click on "Edit Options"
- scroll down to 'Thread Display Options', and then 'Please Select the Resize Mode'
- click on the 'Drop Down List Box' over on the Right of 'Please Select the Resize Mode'
- select it to "KEEP ORIGINAL SIZE"
- SAVE your selections !
There ... now don't that look MUCH BETTER

Firstly, great GDT as always, and as always you rock Puck U.

Secondly, if we play like we did yesterday, or like we did the last time we played St. Louis, it's practically two points in the bank.

 

[DaAnimal]

Thanks again Puck U.

Here is a free inNout hamburger for ya:

 

[Muzzinga]

please!

 

[kingsholygrail]

Gonna be a bloodbath!

 

[Crosby87Domi11]

Gonna be a bloodbath!

Lots of blues blood shed

 

[123slam]

4-2 Kings.

 

[Puck U]

Since In-N-Out FAILED me last time I posted (Disclaimer, I didn't actually make it to In-N-Out to EAT an In-N-Out Burger that day) ...

I have decided to try something new I have up here (yes I live in HELL),

Wish me ... and the KINGS , LUCK !

 

[Crosby87Domi11]

4-2 Kings.

I'll take that

try with torta one time it was lucky for us btw nice work with GDT..

 

[DeeMeck]

Oops, I see we can't see the last name of a certain Hilary who starred in Million-dollar baby

 

[Papa Mocha 15]

3-1 LA. Bernier stands on his head and brings the Quick V Bernier debate back. Ellerby fights. Penner gets on the board.

 

[johnjm22]

Glad to see Penner back in the lineup. The criticisms of his game have been greatly exaggerated.

 

[Puck U]

try with torta one time it was lucky for us .

The MIGHTY TORTA is reserved for the PLAYOFFS !

believe for repeat


add: sorry for stealing photo.. i just like that one

 

[BallPointHammer]

Glad to see Penner back in the lineup. The criticisms of his game have been greatly exaggerated.

I agree. Give him some time, like most of the rest of the team has been given, to get himself up to speed and focused. The Kings won the Cup with a big, strong, reasonably good skating group of forwards who would forecheck the heck out of the opponent. Bring back the old line combinations (sit out Gagne and Richardson).

 

[Crosby87Domi11]

3-1 LA. Bernier stands on his head and brings the Quick V Bernier debate back. Ellerby fights. Penner gets on the board.

I sure as hell hope Ellerby fights and kicks some Blues ass!

 

[gtwyc]

i hate the blues! lets ****in destroy them!

 

[King RAZZ]

Might as well do a drive by...

GO KINGS GO!!!!!

 

[kingsfan]

We win 4-3. Bernier I think will struggle, he usually does early in the season, but if we can limit the shots and get to the net like we did last game, we'll get ours as well. No way we get shut down like that two straight nights.

Could easily be a 3-pointer tonight.

 

[Reaper45]

To me, and mind you I'm drunk at Mardi Gras, we need a reload. No a rebuild but a reload. Ditch the expiring contracts. Add picks and kids. Our core is good. Calling it quits on a shortened season is fine. Get ready for next.

Who should we ditch?

I am sure Lombardi has a mandate from AEG, "Not making the playoff's is unacceptable". AEG is spending a lot of money, they are going to want playoff revenue.

Doesn't mean Lombardi or Sutter would lose their job. But AEG would want someone fired or someone from the roster gone (high salary).

 

[Johnny Utah]

Can you update the line up with Penner?

 

[KingsFan7824]

Halak back in net, revenge factor, Blues are rested, Kings spent a lot of energy yesterday and aren't scoring. If the Blues score an early one, or two, like the Wings did, they could just grind the Kings down the rest of the way.

I'd say everything points toward the Blues, which is why the Kings will win. Blues by 3 or 4, or the Kings win close.
