A red jersey hung in Kyle Clifford’s locker today, but he didn’t wear it. Clifford skated the previous two days but not today. Darryl Sutter didn’t say whether Clifford had suffered a “setback” necessarily. Scott Parse did participate in his first full-team practice since November, but both Parse and Parse said Parse isn’t even close to playing, “close” meaning weeks, not days.
Sutter said the Kings expect to be informed of the Game 5 start time sometime this afternoon.
Yes, but any updates on Gagne?

I forgive him cuz its his 1st NHL playoffs, but a player that is struggling to match game intensity should not be in a top 6 roll.

@puck73, I think the problem is he isnt on the Monarchs playoff roster (he would have had to be added like King and Nolan were, ‘sending them down’ for a day to become eligible and then recalling them) so even if he doesnt need to clear waivers, he couldnt join the team. But it would’ve been good for him if he had been able, for sure.

@tornado12, I’m certain it’s for down the road, just in case… a little depth should the Kings go deeper in the playoffs. It just gives the team more depth and more options.

Unfortunatley, I don’t think we will see Parse, Clifford or Gagne until next season. You have to love Parse’s determination, that with all of the set backs he has experienced, he is still out there on the ice trying to get back.

@#unclewillyson,
What? Seriously, why make that comment? He may not be here next season, but so what? If he were capable of playing and could beat someone else out for job, we’d be happy to have him.
Just like the posts a month ago that Richardson shouldn’t ever skate for the Kings again. And now he’s critical filling in for Clifford.
It’s all about role, salary and expectations. If the combination of those three worked for Parse and the Lings so be it. If not, enjoy a career elsewhere.
But then if he did score 20 goals elsewhere someone would post here that the GM should be fired for having let him go….

so if both Parse and Parse said Parse isn’t even close to playing for the LA Kings then Parse will probably play Parse at stratego for the LA Kings but Parse will lose because the LA Kings are good stratego players when Parse was Parse and not Parse on the LA Kings
