@Hockeyfan B4 Gretzky, if we can keep Matt Greene off the ice (-2 plus/minus) we should be good.
[Reply]
Leave it all out there in the third. That’s all I ask!

@xeropoint, I’ll second that. They need to be more aggressive and quit backing off so much.

@Slim, I hope so, they are close and so is Smyth

More pressure guys. We run at times in our D zone, we need to cover the points, Parse?
Quicker your doing fine, keep it going. Almost comical with Scuds stick…..
Cliffie come on man, light this thing up, I can feel it……..Simmonds keep pucks deep, they read your point passes in the O zone..
We have to take charge…..
[Reply]
no more periods. this is it. 20 minutes or tee time.
[Reply]
yea i dont want this tem to be done but i think could be it we dont go after the Sharks zone at all that much 4 mins went down to 1 something left could of been a easy 2-2 of the Kings knew how to shot more but oh well i think we might catch up if not then bye Kings i hope we win this game
[Reply]
defense is playing well, we need a goal smyth has had 2 beauties, we need to get those in.
[Reply]
if we pride ourselves on D then why all the shots against….and puck possion for S.J. Is their offense that much better then our D???
[Reply]
Lundy says win the boards and first to the puck and we are golden………..we have to win battles

@Harty, Exactly. They are beating us to the puck and are making very quick passes as we back off and let them do what they want to do. This is it. 1 period to play and we need to leave it ALL on the ice. GO KINGS GO!!!!!!
[Reply]
This is where TM gives the “Rudy” speech, flips a table and leaves the room so that the “leaders” of the team (I am talking Brown, especially) can pump it up in there.

Kings know what is at stake here. This game has been pretty cagey but I expect the Kings to start taking more risks.
I hope they at least force Game 7.

The Sharks sure aren’t playing like all the pressure is on them.

Remember when we all just wanted them to get into the playoffs…..well we are neck deep right now and we need everyone in the Staples Centre motivating these guys to get it going and put it over the top with energy.
Don’t let this run end tonight, com’on guys…….
[Reply]
20 more mins boys.. Just leave it all out on the ice.. Give the effort and I will be happy.
Go Kings!
[Reply]
If we are going out, then let’s make it exciting
[Reply]
NO MORE PLAYING SCARED!
Get the damn forecheck going! WORK on the boards, start winning battles.
…and for CRIMENY SAKES…
PUCK MANAGEMENT! Make some decent passes and play composed.
We can totally pull this off and WIN! PLAY OUR GAME! P-L-E-A-S-E!!!

Gretzky, who’s at the game, gives Kings props for being a hardworking team. Of course it was 0-0 at the time he said it.
