COACH & PLAYER QUOTES Originally Posted by Forward KYLE CLIFFORD, on Blackhawks Game : "We’re pretty disappointed in ourselves here. We need to come out and play more consistent. We need to play as a team better. Our all-around game, there’s no excuses. We just have to be better." Originally Posted by Forward ANZE KOPITAR, on Blackhawks Game : "Mixed emotions. I thought we played a pretty good game, but a pretty good game against these guys is not good enough. We all know that, in this league, you’ve got to play 60 minutes, and that second period was not even close to what we need to play. The third one was good again. We were all over them, I thought. We had chances, but when you’re chasing them, it’s not easy, especially against these guys." Originally Posted by Goalie JONATHAN QUICK, on the Loss : "I thought we played a good third period, and we created some chances, but it was just too little, too late." Originally Posted by Head coach TERRY MURRAY, on the first period : "The start wasn’t bad. I thought the first period went pretty well. Both teams were exchanging chances and doing the right thing. We got it to a (1-1) game and they came right back down the ice again, the next shift basically, and got the next goal. That’s been haunting us over the year, and it came back to bite us again today." * ( see for more details and other game day news, notes & quotes.)

LET'S GO KINGS !!!

- Next HOME Game -

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

Go Kings!

[Orenji]

From a team that we never win against to a team we have their number.

But I forgot they have like half of their line-up missing, so we're screwed.

[FrozenKing18]

There's a Sturm comin'!

Heart disease?

[FootKnight]

Koci vs Westgarth again please.

You poor, deprived man.

[Muzzinga]

that meal looks horrendous

How on earth are the Avs on a 6 game winning streak with that many injuries. Very impressive

[AKAY47]

On a real, hockey notes, if Sturm is in does he start on the 4th line and makes his way up to the 1st or starts on the 1st?

Sturm-Kopitar-Brown
Smyth-Stoll-Williams
Clifford-Handzus-Simmonds
Ponikarovsky-Richardson-Westgarth?

Does that mean Trevor Lewis is a healthy scratch? I don't really understand lol

[AKAY47]

Anaheim plays tonight again? WTF why do they play so many more games than everyone else?

[Chazz Reinhold]

Sturm-Kopitar-Brown
Smyth-Stoll-Williams
Clifford-Handzus-Simmonds
Ponikarovsky-Richardson-Westgarth?

The lines are:

Richardson-Kopitar-Brown
Smyth-Stoll-Williams
Clifford-Handzus-Simmonds
Sturm-Lewis-Ponikarovsky

I know people like to have Westgarth in as our enforcer but I honestly think that Clifford can easily fill that roll whenever Westy's out of the lineup. I'm ok with those lines

I HATE you. I've moved to Calgary now and I haven't had that amazing goodness in over 3 months. I go home on the 23rd and I'm getting a 3x3, animal fries, and a Neapolitan shake

(still wondering what that sauce on the chili is, though)

Those are animal style fries. Its grilled onion's, cheese and thousand island dressing. ****ing delicious.

It's more or less Thousand Island dressing.

AIUI, it's the same stuff they put in the actual burger. See it.....?

What you think is grilled onions is actually a mess of delicious grilled onions on top of some cheese w/ spread (thousand island style dressing) on top.

[Buddy The Elf]

BTW.. i'm not superstitious but the Kings have lost just about every game i've played FGOTG so I'm done with that for the time being.

[Reaper45]

Koci is playing and Westy sits? Also with the way they've been playing, I'd have Poni and Lewis on the 2nd line with Williams and make Smyth and Stoll play with Sturm on the 4th.

Richardson-Kopitar-Brown
Ponikarovsky-Lewis-Williams
Clifford-Handzus-Simmonds
Smyth-Stoll-Sturm

[Johnny Utah]

That is a soft 4th line...

Koci has been known to run guys, I don't like this move.

Reaper, switch Lewis and Stoll.
