Any confirmation on Quick starting? I'm in the finals of my fantasy league and this is crucial

I don't know if the Kings skate today but if they do we'll find out shortly. I'm assuming Quick because of comments on workload and prep for the playoffs but hard to say. I don't know who your other options are, but Quick has issues in back-to-backs lately--so depending on when your roster locks, stay tuned

Personally I would hope Sutter starts Jones today and maybe one more game down the stretch but it seems like he's going back to the ol' ride the starter for 75 games routine he's known for (not that that is a bad thing).

 

[Telos]

I don't see why we would need to start Quick. We don't want to take our foot off the gas pedal, but starting Quick back-to-back is unnecessary. Just start Jones, he easily gives us a chance to win.

 

[Little Psycho]

Or Nolan.

Or Doughty.

Hey lets make a poll!

Poll should include:
Doughty
Mitchell
Nolan
Muzzin
Clifford
Brown
Stoll
Williams

They all seem worthy lol

 

[Ollie Weeks]

Yeah, might as well give Jones one last start.

 

[SettlementRichie10]

I really don't expect us to come out with a lot of fire after clinching, second game of back to back, etc. etc. I will be shocked if we win this in regulation, mildly suprised if we win in OT or SO, and unaffected if we lose.

With that said, though, it's always nice to win.

 

[Reclamation Project]

Off the top of my head Jones has given up one real bad goal and that was the one in Pittsburgh. I'd gladly give him the start.

I'm actually surprised Brown hasn't found the box much lately. At any rate, loving Muzzin's bone crushing hits the past couple of games. Didn't AMart have one too last night. My memory is foggy. Been watching the games on the east coast, not sure I'll make it through tonights game.

*edit* Maybe we should have a game like 1st goal of the game, only 1st penalty of the game.

Feel the same.

No reason to start Quick, hope it's jones

 

[DocWest]

I'd like Jones to start too. Give Quick a break and give Jones a taste of the Sharks so he's ready for them in the Playoffs if we need him.

Martinez destroyed OEL.

We need to take this one in San Jose, just to mess with their psyche and show them that we can Beat Jose in their own barn.

Jones has been serviceable, but he has given up a few bad goals.

This 100 times. This game we need to crush SJ in their own stadium.

Vey has been recalled. So do they put King on IR

@reallisa: Per Kings - Linden Vey has been called up from Manchester

 

[Reclamation Project]

On the plane right now.

 

[Trolfoli]

Kings Insider was saying Vey isn't going to make it for tonight game, but will be eligible against Van.

 

[HYORI 1963]

I don't see who Vey will be replacing in the lineup. I'm thinking he'll just be a HS.

Maybe Nolan? Until king comes back.

I believe Vey was drafted as a RW, but has exclusively played center for MAN. Nolan's been playing LW with Lewis as RW, but hey, who knows. It'd be a shame to call him up to have him sit, but at the same time, team is winning so...

I would still love to see the MAN line together, but I'm sure with 2nd lines' recent success, I doubt that's even being considered.

THird game in four nights, back to back, already locked in playoff slot. effort level will be low.

Maybe Richards "looked tired" from running around on the energy line and needs a break.

Beat LA! Beat LA! Beat LA! Beat LA! Beat LA!

We better watch out, we're in Shark territory!

Do you think the boys sit on the bench with their teeth chattering when Shark fans do the chomping gesture? So scary. Much fear. Wow.
