Same. Been a long time, probably even longer for me, to be as excited for a regular season game.

We have to win to keep pace with 1st in the Pacific. Either way we can't take the spot tonight, but in order to assure we've got a shot still a, win. What we don't freaking want is for a regulation tie for the Dallas - Phoenix game. No ties!

This is the magnitude of game we got Richards for. I think he has a vintage, beast-type game.

I agree. He is going to be flying and hitting everything in sight.

[TwzKing]

Staples better be rocking tonight, booze better flowing as well

[KingsKnight]

Let's leave them in our wake, and never look back.

The Kings have every reason to win this game--they're at home, they've been the better team the past couple weeks (though, admittedly, SJ's continued to pick up points) and the Sharks are playing the second half of a back-to-back.

So why do I have this sinking feeling in my stomach?

[Perro]

Man I hope I am in a good mood tomorrow.

Actually, I AM reading into what they did yesterday....I expect them to be PISSED off after such a dreadful performance! Kings better be ready!

[The Dingo]

I plan to be drunk by 5:06pm.

Concur, if the Sharks have any heart (and I think they do) they will want to support Niemi and give him a bounce back game.

[Buddy The Elf]

The Sharks and Ducks defense last night was non-existent. Lets hope that continues!

[DAkings20]

Biggest game in a while. Win and you keep pace, lose and it will feel like a massive blow to their chances. Sharks will no doubt come out swinging and the kings not only have to be ready, but they have to push back even harder. No let up here, this is the type of game the kings have to win.

[DimMak]

I'll have to miss the game Finals from 4:00-10:30.....god damn exams.

Quick needs to also be aware of the Sharks trailer looking for a one timer. They exposed him in that area last year in the playoffs, so he's gotta be ready for that.

Quick was getting beat by cross ice one timers a lot in that series. You can't blame him; that's the best way to beat any goalie in the NHL. Is was more the defenses fault than anything.

Even though the Kings have struggled with offense in recent years, it's been the defense that's let us down in the playoffs, scoring goals hasn't been an issue thanks to Luongo and Niemi.

[KINGS17]

I don't look for either team to dominate the entire game. I expect a lot of push back from both teams and a lot of momentum changes.

[Muzzinga]

so damn pumped for this game, lets gooooooooo

30% swing on the cards in the playoff race, the winner goes to 70+% to make playoffs, the loser falls to 40%, pretty big game

[Telos]

All or nothing. This is it. GO KINGS GO!

[KingsKnight]

interested in seeing how Sutter matches the lines.

Im assuming he will match line for line, so the pressure will be on our 3rd line to get the job done vs the bad sharks bottom 6
