[fieldset=COACH & PLAYER QUOTES]

"It’s another game. It’s no different whether you’re on the road or at home. Same thing. [You’ve] got to win a hockey game. We didn’t do it today. I didn’t stop them, and usually when you don’t stop the pucks, they go in the net."

"They worked hard, but every error we made they made a good play on and found a way to score. That line of Benn, Eriksson and Jagr had an impact on the game. Our top guys need to be better in a game like tonight."

"It didn’t seem like a strong first period in my opinion. We couldn’t handle the Benn line and had nobody to answer the checking responsibility. Goalie, defense and forwards. We didn’t have anyone that could handle that line. Giving up four goals a game, you can’t win. We need better goaltending, better defense. Simple."

[shadow=Silver] LET'S GO KINGS !!! [/shadow]

- 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
