March 19 postgame quotes: Jonathan Bernier
On the pressure of playing against a team that hadn’t scored in three games: “We knew they were going to come out really hard on us and shoot from everywhere, and that’s what they did, I think. The first minute they had five shots on net, shooting from everywhere. We weathered the storm, and we [...]
Bernier the likely starter
It was a considerably busy optional morning skate at the Toyota Sports Center as 12 skaters and both goaltenders took the ice in advance of tonight’s game against the Phoenix Coyotes. Jonathan Bernier left the ice first, which indicates that he has been tabbed as the starting goaltender to conclude the back-to-back set. In his [...]
Quick likely to start
As I noted on Twitter, Jonathan Quick was the first goalie off the ice. This is an indication that he’s the likely starter against the Phoenix Coyotes tonight at Staples Center. Tyler Toffoli and Brad Richardson exited the ice at the same time, though because Los Angeles is coming off a win in which it [...]
March 16 postgame quotes: Jonathan Bernier
On the importance of the win: “It’s a big two points. We went in there [on Thursday], and I thought we battled hard and tried to come back in the game, and they came out with the victory. For us, it was very important to come here in our building and make a statement.”
Waking up with the Kings: Bill Ranford Edition

March 4 postgame quotes: Jonathan Bernier
On his career success against Nashville: “Yeah, I’ve been successful against them, that’s for sure. But when you give up 20 shots or something like that, you’ve got to make sure you make those big saves and keep the team in it. We found a way to score that one, and kept going from thereafter.”
February 27 postgame quotes: Jonathan Bernier
On finishing the game with a good feeling after an early ugly goal against: “Yeah, that was a fluke one, you know? I’m not even sure where it hit me. Probably my back or my head or something. But we stuck with it. We scored that big first one. We knew if we scored one, [...]
February 20 postgame quotes: Jonathan Bernier
Jonathan Bernier stopped 26 of 27 shots and was the Kings’ best penalty killer in Wednesday’s 3-1 win over Calgary. He has won three consecutive starts for the first time since March 11, 15 and 29, 2011 and for the third time in his career.
Bernier likely to start
The question of whether Jonathan Bernier would start today was met with Darryl Sutter’s comment of “we don’t announce the goalies. You make that call.” Still, Jonathan Bernier was off the ice first at today’s morning skate, which would indicate that he’ll be in the crease in the second game of back to back nights [...]
