COACH & PLAYER QUOTES Originally Posted by Forward & Alternate Captain ANZE KOPITAR, on Wild 3rd, WIN & Line-mate Gagne : "It was back and forth. We got a big (goal), Slava got us a big one right off the bat. Then it’s almost natural to pull back a little bit, and they came at us. After they tied it up, we said, `We’ve got to get back at it,’ and we pulled it off tonight. Obviously you don’t want to give up any points. At the end of the year, the three-point games are going to be all over place, so you don’t want to give up points if not necessary. Last night was a big win for us, and then coming in here, we knew we obviously had a good chance of winning. We’ve always played pretty good in this building, so we just came out and got the job done. That’s the scoring (balance) we need, the secondary scoring. Sometimes guys like me and Brownie don’t score any goals, but we get production from other guys. That’s when you win games. Gagne’s such a great player, and he’s been in the league forever. He’s really responsible on the ice, especially offensively. He makes plays everywhere and he definitely helps us." Originally Posted by Defenseman ROB SCUDERI, on 3rd period Delay & Kicking Duck ASS : "(The delay at the start of the third period…was) kind of painful. You’re sitting in here long enough and you’re ready to go back out and get back into the flow of the game. So when you have to sit for an extra 10, 15 minutes, whatever it was, it weighs on you. But both teams had to sit through it, so it’s not as though one team had an advantage. I think it’s just a real good team effort from us, in here, to turn it around. I think we were maybe playing 40, 45 minutes in the last five, six games ago, and that’s not enough to win in this league. I thought the last few games, we’ve really had a team effort, really talking about a lot of stuff in the locker room, to play the right way, play for 60 and give ourselves a chance, and I think we’re seeing that now." Originally Posted by Head coach TERRY MURRAY, on Back-to-Back WINS : "They’re very big points. Any time you play a rival team, a division game like this, it’s critical that you come and play your best, that’s for sure, give yourself an opportunity to get those points. I think, in both games, both teams played very hard. There were stretches in the games where both teams had good things happening in the offensive zone. They tied the game up; they had a big push. They really came at us hard. Quicker held his ground defensively. I think we competed hard in front of our net, just to get things calmed down. Made it exciting at the end. They tied it up and it was an exciting finish. Those (shorthanded goals) are a bonus, I think, any time you get a shorthanded goal. The people that are scoring them for us, that seems to be part of the m.o. that they bring, along with their play. I’ve seen it in the past. Gagne is an excellent penalty-killer. He’s got the speed and is a very skilled player who can take advantage of opportunities. So it’s a bonus tonight, that’s for sure." * ( see for more details and other game day news, notes & quotes.)

This is the biggest game in franchise history, a must win as they say.

Go Kings!

[Telos]

Win, so that all may be right in the world. GO KINGS!

[FrozenKing18]

I'm going to be in this game! I'm 1-2-1 in live games. That 1 win was from my first game when I was a fan of the opposing team.

So if they lose.....

Go Kings!

You are either joking or you have no perspective.

[KingsKnight]

If we keep up the momentum and the shot mentality and we'll get the 2 points. They have two games in hand on us, so ending up 6 pts ahead of them by tomorrow night is that much more important.

[DocWest]

I'm going to miss this game due to travel. Hopefully the Kings will keep their winning streak alive!

[Hatter]

I can't be the only one that just expects Kings losses when Detroit comes to Staples Center, can I? Let's break that mind set with a big win tomorrow please. Sure would love for once to expect them to beat Detroit. Especially since they are my least favorite team barely beating out the nucks. Go kings........ Please

[BD33]

Great picture of Deadmarsh right there! I was at that game, still my favorite Kings memory.

Let's keep the momentum going tomorrow! GKG!

[Albi]

Just Kill Them.

[ru4reals]

I'm gonna assume that there are many who hates the Canucks more then any other team. But I have to say I hate the wings almost just as much! After that beat down we had last year a blowout win will make my season!

I think we have a very good winning record against detroit the last few years...

[BigBrown]

Ugh. It's gonna be a whole lot of red in the crowd today. Give them no reason to cheer

[Herby]

I'll be watching this game with a bunch of Wings fans.

Get the W Kings, one time, one time!

[johnjm22]

Feels good to go against Detroit and actually expect to win.

4-1 LA

[MsWoof]

Yay! Eastern time zone friendly!

[The Dingo]

If the Kings win, I am going to call Herby "Herbasaurus Rex" in the PGT

So, true. A MUST WIN!

[Muzzinga]

ill be shocked if Quick has less than 76 saves

[Stupid Sexy Flanders]

Love the Deadmarsh photo.

(Wish we still wore those uni's)

[cheap77]

Who else has a bad feeling about this game?

The Kings have been playing well and the Wings haven't.

[Alternate Jersey]

will be missing this game
always a tense one when the wings come to town, but i think we can do it.

gkg!

We are 79-73-27-4 all-time against Detroit, so I have no clue why you would think such a thing.

The wings are still a good team, but they're inconsistent right now, so it's hard to tell which team will show up. While it seems like we're hitting our stride right now and getting more consistent at it. I think we just need to show up with the same intensity and shot mentality of the last few games.

...of course it's a Saturday afternoon game, so who knows.
