[shadow=Silver]KINGS face-off against CANUCKS , WE WANT HANDSHAKES @ CENTER ICE !!![/shadow]
[fieldset=COACH & PLAYER QUOTES]

"It’s just nice to get 'scoring' out of the way. You definitely think about it. I’m just happy I was able to contribute for a big win. Every time you’re on the road you need to play a team game. You want to roll four lines. Our PK come up big again. Yeah, we gave one up on the five-on-three, but killed everything else. Our power play can be better, but we got two points and that’s what we want."

"No one in here thought we were going to go 48-0 or 0-48, but when you lose the first three you sure don't want to let things get away, It's been seven months and things don't come back at the snap of a finger. But it was time to win a game and get a little pressure off."

"Cliffy made a real nice pass up high through a guys stick to me, which gave me a lot of time and then I let a little wrister at the net and it found a way in…I didn’t really see it go in, but when the guys came over we all kind of had a little laugh because it was one of those hope wristers that floated through. It’s a good feeling to get your first NHL goal, but to get the win here is more important."

(On his top forwards scoring): "Kopi was good tonight…The goal-scorers scored. Carts had one too. That’s what wins the game.”
(On Jake Muzzin): “I didn’t know it was his first NHL goal. But he hit the net. We talked about that yesterday privately and [to the media]. D hitting the net.”
(On the defensemen): “Our D is solid. They played good all three games. The six of them. We haven’t given up a whole lot other than on the power play."

- UPCOMING GAMES 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

Still a bit under the weather ... just getting it up so the CANUCKS FANS can steal my GDT template without asking and not give me any credit ... anyways, I'll edit it more tomorrow, so don't freak out if something is still from the WCSF's cough sniffle cough

 

[rapots]

It will be hard one. I am sure Nucks didn't forget what happened to them at last play offs. Lot's of hitting from them, well nothing new. They have tried against SJ tonight and failed. Let them fail again

GO Kings

 

[King RAZZ]

One thing to remember...

GO KINGS GO!!!!!!!

 

[KingsKnight]

I'd love to see our power play finally materialize today, instead of endless passing. We're also going to have to create better chances 5 on 5 since we won't be shooting on Labarbara.

I just checked out their GDT. Did they really steal your template? Sure looks like it. Not that it's illegal, but that's messed up.

I think even subban would think that's classless..

Totally not cool.

Too bad Kesler isn't playing.

But hey, Burrows is!

Lol

Go Kings!

 

[damacles1156]

That Kesler dive is so epic.....

 

[FrozenKing18]

Let's do this!

 

[topliner967]

Schneider expected in net?

 

[Maximus]

Bernier

Ranger fan but Bernier dynasty owner here with a question for y'all: With no B2B's until well into February, any chance Sutter throws Bernier a bone and gives him some love tonight and it is he between the pipes or do they continue to roll with Quick and try and get a winning streak together? Thoughts?

 

[topliner967]

I think Quick starts. Sutter likes to play his #1 goalie, and as you said, I think they want to string some wins together. Looking at the schedule, my guess would be that Bernier maybe gets the starts against CBJ early next month, or one of the back-to-backs. But that's just me guessing, I really have no clue

Edit: I think he's played good against the preds, so he might get to start that game.

Thanks for the reply. When I saw Bernier had shut out the 'Yotes last year in his only start vs them as I recall, I thought possibly he might have gotten the nod the other night. But yeah, your logic sounds right as it's not like the schedule so far has been so jam packed that Quick needs a blow just yet. Nice luxury you guys got haveing a Bernier as your backup. He probably could easily start for 10 teams off the top of my head and maybe more. Good luck to you guys this year.

 

[SuperAlmeida]

Great GDT Puck U!

Fight to end!

Sutterism: "Bring it watch!"

Let's go Kings

 

[Telos]

We got this. Clifford with the hat trick tonight. GO KINGS GO!

 

[mbar]

Watching Vancouver lose to San Jose last night, the commentators (SJ feed) indicated that the Canuck's plan is to start Luongo tonight.

Take that for what it is worth...

 

[Buddy The Elf]

Looks like the guy who started the Canucks GDT thread has about as much creativity as the Kings power play. You know what they say about imitation.

 

[Nefarious]

Puck, ya got Slava and Alec dressed as #27 in the line combos. Doh, was reading the GDT first then saw your second post about you still being sick. Sorry about that. hope you feel better soon. Let's hope a Kings win will make you feel better!

Oh yeah, Awesome GDT and GKG!!!

 

[Martyros]

Watching Vancouver lose to San Jose last night, the commentators (SJ feed) indicated that the Canuck's plan is to start Luongo tonight.

Take that for what it is worth...

It's a back to back. Both goalies play in a back to back situation.

 

[Kings4thecup]

No Mitchell? Or just not confirmed yet?

 

[Buddy The Elf]

Hey, has Henrik Sedin figured out what planet he is on yet? He looks like he is from Melmac but just curious if he ever got his head reattached after this...

Can I just say it was even better in person. Just beautiful.

 

[Buddy The Elf]

Can I just say it was even better in person. Just beautiful.

Yeah it was.. I was in the 300 level and I felt like Chris Tucker on Friday. "You just got knocked the **** out!"
