Justin Williams’ postgame thoughts… (on his shootout goal…) WILLIAMS: “I was just down there with Quickie [Jonathan Quick] for a second, and he told me to just do what I do. I was thinking shot the whole way. I wasn’t going to deke and lose the puck. I, at least, had to make a shot [...]
Williams postgame quotes
Justin Williams’ postgame thoughts… (on the game…) WILLIAMS: “Usually, when a goalie has a shutout, you say, `Well, he saw a lot of shots.’ And he did, but we’ve got to establish body position a little bit earlier, because every time we seemed to have a rebound, they seemed to swipe it out of the [...]
Williams postgame quotes
Justin Williams’ postgame thoughts… (on keeping a positive attitude…) WILLIAMS: “The good thing with hockey is, usually, there’s always another game. Moping around really doesn’t do much.

We still had five minutes left to make something happen, and we didn’t. The second period was probably the key. Even though [...]

They’re a team that has got a lot of skill and if you don’t respect them, they’re going to make you pay. Obviously we didn’t have the best game, but at the end we had our [...]
Second line: will it work again?
The likely debut of Marco Sturm tomorrow also means the likely return of the line of Ryan Smyth, Jarret Stoll and Justin Williams. That line was put together before the third game of the season, and over the next 21 games it was often the Kings’ best line. During those 21 games, Williams had eight [...]
Ailing Kings
Four Kings players – Alexander Frolov, Teddy Purcell, Brad Richardson and Justin Williams – are ailing with different levels of cold/flu symptoms. As previously posted, Oscar Moller is on the way from Manchester, and there’s a good chance that he will be in the lineup in place of at least one of those players. Terry [...]
