[fieldset=COACH & PLAYER QUOTES]

Forward & Alt Captain MIKE RICHARDS said:
"I’m not really even sure what happened. Carts made a good play just throwing it at the net and then somehow it just kept on coming back to me and I got lucky there and jammed it in. That’s about it. You just look at the puck and poke, poke, poke, and you’re expecting to get hit. You just hope to put it in before you get buried in the back of the net."

Forward & Alt. Captain ANZE KOPITAR said:
"Every time we play them, it’s a physical game, and yeah, that’s the third time we beat them, and I don’t know how many times in a row now. It is what it is. Of course they’re a little frustrated. That’s what happens sometimes at the end of games. It’s not a big deal. Sometimes that slips into a part of the game, and tonight it did. I think we just really focus on the very next game against them. It’s not like we’re looking back. It’s really just about this team going ahead, so it’s not like we’re looking back. It’s really just about this team going ahead and looking ahead. But yes, it does sound nice, eight in a row."

Forward JUSTIN WILLIAMS said:
"I don’t know. It’s no secret I’ve had a tough time scoring some goals this year. I think he said ‘Jeez, you might’ve gotten an assist and a goal on that one. Williams from Williams.’ Hey, I’ll take a hit to get a goal and seal a game any day. Hey, it was a clean hit. I put the puck in and I got hammered and got up and Kopi stuck up for me. That’s what we do. We stick up for each other."

Head coach DARRYL SUTTER said:
"Our objective? Make the playoffs. That should be everybody’s. At the start of the year, everybody says their objective is to win the Stanley Cup…that’s [road apples]. You’ve got to make the playoffs. And the best way to look at that is just because if you make the playoffs, you can win the Stanley Cup. If you don’t you have no chance."

[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

Will be interesting to see how Minnesota stacks up because at the moment it seems highly possible that the Kings will be playing them in Round 1.

Nsjohnson · Mar 30, 2013

This should be an interesting game, teams could meet in playoffs as you said. MN will be looking to win tonight as they played in Dallas last night, so the mix of anger/attitude vs fatigue with the MN squad playing a fresh LA squad might make for some fun hockey. I'm not so sure the Wild will have the juice to win tonight, but hopefully it's a tight game. Wild really need to tighten up their D. I usually call a W for one of the two teams, I don't even know what to say for this one.

Karl · Mar 30, 2013

Hopefully this will be a fun and entertaining night with no injuries! I am really excited for this game tonight, this very well could be a possible playoff matchup. I hope it is a playoff type atmosphere inside the X tonight!

I think I feel exactly the same way :laugh:

I bet the first period is a chess match, though, as these teams feel each other out for the first time. Punctuated with some grit, of course.

I hope to get off work in time for a beer with this one!

Karl · Mar 30, 2013

What is the status of Willie Mitchell? Is he going to play at all this season?

KingsCorona · Mar 30, 2013

Haven't really watched the Wild this season, but they've been hot which makes me a little nervous. I think if we bring our top flight forechecking game we have a good chance to beat anyone, but I'm not really sure what to expect here. I'm really looking forward to seeing how we match up!

Seems unlikely, sadly. Our D is really missing him.

All the Willie Mitchell you can read - http://hfboards.mandatory.com/showthread.php?t=1343911

Long story short, not likely to return THIS Season, look for him NEXT Season though

SFKingshomer · Mar 30, 2013

Not sure who to start in my keeper league, Quick or Backstrom? Go Kings Go!

KingsKnight · Mar 30, 2013

Really curious to see how this game plays out and how we match up. I have a feeling it's going to be a close scoring game.

Quick ... I smell a Carter Hat-Trick a coming ... sniff, sniff, sniff ... yep a Hatty ... well it's either that or an In-N-Out fart ? :sarcasm:

Atraya · Mar 30, 2013

Looking forward to this game--should be a good one! 3-2 Kings

BTW, outstanding GDT, Puck U! :handclap:

MsMeow · Mar 30, 2013

I can only see the first period but will follow the scores on my phone. Hoping for another win!

bobafettish* · Mar 30, 2013

beat these frauds.

SCARFACE909 · Mar 30, 2013

Love the green uni's the Wild are wearing.

kingsfan28 · Mar 30, 2013

Off the post by Brown

Ziggy Stardust · Mar 30, 2013

Terrible turnover right in the middle of the ice by Ellerby. He is not very good at handling the puck.

kingsfan28 · Mar 30, 2013

Williams may need a chiropracter after that hit

Telos · Mar 30, 2013

PP Time! Let's GO KINGS!

KingsCorona · Mar 30, 2013

I think the Minnesota "North Stars" was a way cooler name. Too bad the "Stars" moniker fits a Texan team so well, or I'd have made noise about reclaiming the name from them if I were a Minnesota fan.

kingsfan28 · Mar 30, 2013

wow...that was close!

KingLB · Mar 30, 2013

Nice aggressive play by Brown there!

And Muzzin!

KingsCorona · Mar 30, 2013

BROWN!! Way to go, Captain!

FrozenKing18 · Mar 30, 2013
