This next game against the Blues is just as huge because it is a highly probable matchup for us should we make the playoffs.

"It has not been a good day. I lost my glasses early this morning and I had to go buy a pair of 79 dollar reading glasses today. 79 bucks. You can literally get them at Costco, three-for-20." - Darryl Sutter's response to going up 2-0 in the series.
Been impressed with sutter's changes. At first he said he wasn't going to change the system, but it's a credit to him that he realized it needed to be changed.
If the Kings make it past the 2nd round I will happily eat crow.
I will give Sutter credit though, the Kings are a much better team with him in charge than with TM. Watching Jordan Nolan and Dwight King play it really makes you wonder what the hell TM was thinking coming out of training camp, how could anyone (besides you ofcourse) think Ethan Moreau or Trent Hunter deserved to be on this roster instead of a guy like Nolan or King.
TM was just absolutely clueless as a coach both with personnel and style of play.

I hate everyone. I hate my dog. I hate White and Mitchell. I hate my 3rd grade teacher. I hate me. I need to go cut myself. What wine should I pair with a cutting?
This why I enjoy the Sharks' board. Some of the best humor around on these boards.

Get over the Ethan Moreau and Trent Hunter debacle. It happened, it's over.

Never doubted the kings.
DL doesn't get every move right. There's certainly been wasted talent here and there. But I love the team that he's assembled and we have on the ice right now. The fact that he's been able to get us both Carter and Richards within the same year - without giving up any of the core players except JJ (and he was replacable from within thanks to VV). Going back to June 1st even thinking that would be unfathomable.
Man our top 6 centers were phenomenal. Both have identical 1g 2a 3p +2 statistics on the night.

That is really the big picture for me.
This is a rabbit out of a hat in my mind. If someone told me that this time last year...

Yeah, really what we envisioned from the day Richards was acquired. I have criticized Kopitar in the past, but man is he dominating right now. Keep it up Anze, you are good enough to win a Hart in this league some day.

All 4 lines are clicking right now.
Plus King was trash last year when he was called up, I never wanted to see him in a Kings uniform again. Gotta give Dean props for believing in him and giving him another chance.
It was only 6 games, the kid did what everyone knew he would do and that is continued developing into an NHL player. Not the greatest LW but a good serviceable one. Next up should be Kozun and Muzz.
