Here are the quotes from Sutter's post game presser. I love the last one. Especially how he asks and answers his own question.

http://lakingsinsider.com/2013/12/07/december-7-postgame-quotes-darryl-sutter/

On whether he could elaborate on previous references to things “slipping into” Ben Scrivens’ game:
No. That’s all you want to talk about, is goalies. We just won three-nothing. I would think you would talk about the goalie that played tonight, not the goalie who didn’t. That’s what I would talk about. For sure, that’d be a good story. Jeez. ‘So, Darryl, how do you think Martin Jones played today?’ ‘I thought he was really solid. Made some big saves for us. Jeez. Really held us in there in the first period. I thought he was outstanding.’

Question: Are all of the ex-Kings that are honored this year on Legends Nights from the pre-Gretzky era since the team wears the purple and gold jerseys for those nights?

Well, there's only been two thus far I believe.

And to answer your question, yes, both Jay Wells and Larry Murphy were pre Gretzky.

I believe Foxy's next, who actually played with Gretzky here in LA.

Just a whole boat load of awesome from Sutter tonight!

I can't be the only one that sees the resemblance?

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Yea. But I think this team needs chemistry that only a night in jail can produce. I think Butch can do that.

Would be even better if he forced everyone to polish off 4 kegs...then bag skated them at 5 am

I want to throw **** at my t.v. because of him. "One minute...one minute to go in the 2nd period. Ladies and gentlemen it's a McFluuuuuuuuuuuurrrrryyyy miiiiiiiiiinnnuuuuute.".
Can the organization not see how brutal he is? Is it not as bad live as it is on t.v.?

Common man, it showmanship !

This game was pretty much what a prototypical Kings win has become.

Very systemic. Robotic even. We're like the Borg of hockey teams.

I found myself talking to the TV directly at Kopi on the bench after he scored.

"See what happens Kopi, when you:

A. Attack the middle of the ice
B. Shoot the puck.

He has the talent and size to do this on a more consistent basis. Please please please let us see this more.

Question: Are all of the ex-Kings that are honored this year on Legends Nights from the pre-Gretzky era since the team wears the purple and gold jerseys for those nights?

No. Kelly hrudey was honored last year and the kings wore the vintage purple. I think when Kelly was on the ice for the pre game he wore his era jersey (Gretzky era). I think that's the idea. So all kings "legends" are eligible. There have been 2 this year so far and at least 5-6 the pat few years before that (maybe even more). I L O V E these vintage uniforms. Wish we wore them every game.

Can anyone even hazard a guess what could get an uninjured goalie benched in the last few hours before face off? My imagination is drawing a blank.

He could be battling an illness. It was a last minute decision and it didn't sound like it was a coach's decision.

Brown looked good in the 2nd and 3rd, seemed like he was trying to pump up the team in the 2nd. He was hitting everything.

Fix it, man!

 

[Vamos Rafa]

I want to beat up that Mikey Mele guy now

well.. we could lose all 5 in SO with 0-0 after OT...

Nothing against quick, but our system makes goalies lives a lot easier.

Quick getting injured was the best thing to happen to our defence. I guess mentally they were very lackadaisical with Quick in net, because they have so much faith in him. With 2 new guys behind them, they have had to focus up and cut those mistakes from their game

I feel the same, brother.

 

[Frolov 6'3]

Told you Jones was NHL ready.

I get dogtired of you telling what you have been telling people. I just read it AGAIN somewhere else and barely couldnt control myself.

Than I come over here and I'll be darned...

You constantly come up with this "I told you so" stuff. I actually thought it was a joke in the beginning but you are damn serious. That's kinda worrysome, dude.

Hasn't it become blatantly obvious that no one that is in charge of in game entertainment or marketing can hear or see at all.

Very briefly.

So Jonesy for Stammer, amirite?

 

[kingsholygrail]

Well done by the Kings taking care of business against what could have easily been a trap game.
