Big Game Story: MATT GREENE RETURNS ! The Los Angeles Kings are going for a sweep of their three-game series against the Columbus Blue Jackets in a meeting between teams that haven't seen each other in more than two months. The Kings won 4-2 on Columbus on Feb. 5 and 2-1 in L.A. 10 days later. It's no surprise that the Kings are in the top eight in the Western Conference as the regular season approaches its final week. But few people could have expected the Blue Jackets to be in that group as well. However, Columbus enters the day eighth in the West, two points ahead of the Detroit Red Wings, after a 3-2 overtime road victory against the Anaheim Ducks on Wednesday.
The KINGS need to remind the BLUE JACKETS which team just won a Stanley Cup Championship. GO KINGS GO !!!

PlayerampCoachQuotes_zps5a343821.jpg

161776648_slide.jpg
Head coach DARRYL SUTTER said:
"He's going to have to play a lot better, We're trying to make the playoffs here, and it's similar to last year where we just made a decision later in the year that we were going to play him and basically see what happens, we went with the experienced guy with Richards and Carter, and that's kind of what I'm doing now. So to answer anything like that, that’s what I’m trying to do. How’s he played? He hasn’t played well enough. But that’s obvious. We’ve played 40 games. He’s got two goals. So that’s obvious."
Forward JUSTIN WILLIAMS said:
"I think it was just a balance tonight. Some good, some bad. Some good shifts, some bad shifts. At this time of year, sometimes it’s really that the team that deserves to win usually does, and I don’t think we deserved to win tonight."
Defenseman ROB SCUDERI said:
"Yeah. We played them earlier, and although they may not be a real flashy team or a team that jumps out at you, they come at you with their depth and with the fact that they’re well coached. Every line does the right thing, makes the right play. Certainly after the deadline they got some different guys that we haven’t seen…so it’s added a different dynamic to their team, but overall we expect the same type of hard effort from them."
Head coach DARRYL SUTTER said:
(On Jonathan Quick’s performance) … “I thought both goalies were pretty outstanding.” (On what he’s looking for defensively) … “Don’t turn pucks over. I mean, we assisted on both their goals.” (On San Jose finding energy in the second game of a back-to-back set) … “You know what? I think everybody this year, you look at back-to-back games with all the good teams, especially in their own buildings – it’s reflective of good teams always, right? I know we haven’t had a problem back to back at all. It’s more of the next part of it – The three-in-four, those things.”."

- UPCOMING SCHEDULE / ONLY 5 GAMES UNTIL PLAYOFFS! -
ScheduleStandings4-17-13_zps5de11855.png

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

This game is going to be tougher than San Jose with the way Columbus is playing. We better be more ready than last game.
 
I love how Columbus is currently in the playoffs (one more game played than Detroit). Of course I want the kings to win, but if it were an OT win I would be ok.
 
My team please win because I live you and when your sad I cry. Breathe win relax live repeat. First in best dressed naked. Please be Wiskey jpeg pgt

A win in ot would be stellar.
 
my phone just todl me Greener is activated!!
Distroy!!
I wonder if this means the "A" comes off Richards
 
The Los Angeles Kings have activated defenseman Matt Greene from the injured reserve list
Greene has not played since Jan 19 and will provide vital defensive depth for the Kings down the stretch. Expect Greene to suit up tonight.

wow already, put him with RR. wouldn't be the smartest pair but they would smash everyone.
 
Tough game here. We're going to need our big guys to bring it, especially Quick. It's good that Quick has been rounding into form lately, because for the remainder of the schedule, he will not have one easy goalie matchup.

Quick was insanely good the other night and he's the guy for this game. It's not like CBJ is going to be running around sniping...they're going to be crashing the net hard, and thankfully, Quick is a VERY strong guy.
