Drew Doughty came onto the ice at the end of practice and is now going through conditioning skating and some light passing drills under the instruction of assistant coach John Stevens. Terry Murray said Doughty also skated yesterday but Murray said he hadn’t received an update on Doughty’s condition from the training staff. Doughty is not eligible to return from injured reserve until Tuesday at the earliest.
In what might be the most obvious answer ever, Murray said that Jonathan Quick will start in goal tomorrow against Dallas. More notes and quotes from practice to come…
who’s this Doughty guy? I hope he’s good enough to crack our top 6-dmen…

@Ryan, From Helene Elliot on Twitter:
“Kings G Jonathan Quick has shutout streak of 128:10, including blankings of Blues, Yotes. No King has ever had shutouts in 3 straight games
That from the Kings’ tireless Jeremy Zager. Who also says longest scoreless streak in Kings history is 184:55 by Vachon, in 1975″

@ponch0v,
Did they include OT in that number? That would be more than 3 games so it must include OT.

Stuart Reply:
October 21st, 2011 at 2:12 pm
@DesertKing, it probably started in the 2nd period of the first game, and then full games… consecutive minutes doesn’t necessarily mean starting with the beginning of a game…maybe.

Didn’t have OT back then (1975) KINGS had 21 ties in 1974-1975

@trytodethroneus, i believe they did. just no shoot-out, straight to kissing your sister status (that’s what a tie is like, so they say).

@Ryan, The longest MODERN day shutout streak belongs to Brian Boucher. When he played for the Phoenix Coyotes in 2003 he recorded a shutout streak that started on December 27, 2003, lasting 332 minutes and 1 second, spanning 5 games and ending in 2004. 5 straight shutouts. That’s just insane!

@tornado12, Actually Scott Laughlin did a interveiw with Quick today on XM home ice. He introduced him as “posibly the best goaltender in the NHL”. It was shocking to here from a show brodcast out of Toro.

He will get his praise in due time, Kevin Weeks is already talking about him on the NHL channel.GO GO GO

@OI!, they’re playing pretty good, but it will be tough for them after the Duck’s game. Ducks are a ruff team to play against these days.

Drew who? I vaguely remember NHLn talking about this guy during some holdout in the offseason. how he’d get hurt early in the season because he was missing something called “training camp” while he was playing with teenagers in Canadia. I guess my memory bells will ring when i see 7 million dollars worth of production from this….Drew person…

The HOT hand “Quickie” vs The COLD hand “Raycroft”? Raycroft lost to Chicago 5-2
Dallas is playing tonight against the Quacks with Lehtonen in goal.

I hate to see Bernier sitting quietly on the side lines but no one can deny that Quick deserves the start as he has been stellar in net so far this season. I’d say keep playing Quick until he losses and then give Bernier the same opportunity. Like Murray sad, play the hot hand… Go Kings!!!

@goldielocks, I’ll bet he goes up against Colorado. They’ve gave us a tough go last season, and it’s a back to back. Quick did well against the Hyenas last night, and Murray will probably try to exploit that, with Bernier getting the next start.
