Big Game Story: Fourth of five meetings. Dallas won the first two, in which goaltender Kari Lehtonen held the Kings to just two goals on 57 shots.
Los Angeles held off Dallas in the most recent meeting, can Los Angeles continue to solidify its fourth-place position in the Western Conference? Or will the Stars,
winners of two straight, keep their Stanley Cup Playoffs push alive? Kings need to remind the Stars which team won the Stanley Cup Championship. GO KINGS GO !!!

[fieldset=COACH & PLAYER QUOTES]

Forward & Alternate Captain ANZE KOPITAR said:
"It would be nice, but it doesn’t matter in the end, I mean it’s not important to win the division, ultimately we’ve got to get ready for the playoffs. We feel like our game is coming along. It’s one of those things where you improve each and every game, and we feel like our game is coming around. We feel confident and comfortable on the ice. That’s the way to go at this time of the year. Even tonight, I mean we battled hard. We played pretty good against a good team. We came back three times from a goal down. In the shootout, it is what it is. We were bad at it tonight. But you get the day tomorrow, try and start to get ready for Dallas, and it’s a matter I think of preparation this time of the year now. It’s getting close to the last spring, or I guess the last stretch of the season, and the best-prepared team usually wins. We’re going to do everything to get ready, and we should be good to go on Tuesday."

Defenseman DREW DOUGHTY said:
"I think we dominated the whole game. The only thing that is frustrating is we only get one point rather than two. Yeah, happy with a point, but I think we deserved better. We definitely deserved the two points. We outplayed them. I think there’s no doubt in anybody’s mind about that. We out-shot them by however many, and we came back three times to get back in the game. They had a lucky bounce on the first goal. As I said, I think we deserved better. Even four-on-four in OT, we were getting some good chances. I don’t even know if they got a shot in that overtime period at all. If we had just a little more time, we were rolling there. We had all the confidence in the world in that third period, and it’s too bad we didn’t.It sucks that we kind of had them if we won that game. We would have been only six points behind them and we had a chance to catch them, but we gave up the two to them and now it’s a little bit more difficult. I thought we deserved the two points, but if we have another chance with them this year, we’ve got to make sure we win it."

Goaltender JONATHAN BERNIER said:
"It wasn’t my fault, it never is, not like when Quick loses the game, then it’s ALL his fault, oh and Bill Ranford’s he sucks too, so his fault too."

Head coach DARRYL SUTTER said:
(On the team coming from behind to earn a point) … “Yeah, we did it three times. Heck, we can’t complain about that. We played a heck of a game.” (On whether he has revisited conceding the division) … “I went to school, and I graduated, and I can do the math. We’ve got a few games left. That’s pretty much impossible…We’re trying to get our own points. Couldn’t care less who wins the division. You keep asking that, and I keep telling you that, right? We keep getting points cause we’re trying to make the playoffs, and I’m sure that’s what they’re saying, too.” (On the team being proud of its performance) … “We played good. I mean, heck. You know what? They came in here and we played hard. Score three goals, you should give yourself a chance to win and we did.” (On what led to Corey Perry’s breakaway goal) … “Muzz came down on the strong side. The puck changed corners. Corey Perry scores goals, right? If you check, he’s won the scoring title. If he can get breakaways – and he actually had two tonight, didn’t he? He scored on both."

[shadow=Silver] LET'S GO KINGS !!! [/shadow]

- UPCOMING SCHEDULE / 9 Games until PLAYOFFS! -

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

Vamos Rafa · Apr 9, 2013

Why are the Kings always the ones that get bumped when there's an overlap? Why not the Angels to Prime Ticket? Oh yeah, same for the Ucks when there's a Dodger game. I know it doesn't matter for most people, but it's just that hockey teams get disrespected.

If I had to guess, it's in the TV contracts.
