Carter’s “greasy” goal: “Yeah, that was real ugly. I was trying to pass it backdoor there. That’s probably why I’ve got two assists all year.” Goals two and three happened so quickly that they made one video. Here’s to hat tricks on hat nights:

March 4 postgame quotes: Darryl Sutter
On the difference between tonight’s game and the other two games against Nashville: “Not much difference, actually. Two games prior, we scored a power play goal as the only goal we scored. Tonight we scored two. Last game in here we lost 2-1 in a shootout…Not much different.”
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.”
March 4 postgame quotes: Jeff Carter
On the significance of the victory: “It was a big game for us. I think the last game in Vancouver there we didn’t have our best effort. We came out, and I don’t think we started the game particularly well, but we stuck with it and played some pretty good hockey in the third period.”

March 3 practice quotes: Dustin Brown
On what led to Justin Williams’ power play goal versus Vancouver: “Shooting off the pass helps, and that’s a result of putting the puck in the wheelhouse for Williams. I thought our movement prior to the goal – we got them moving…and that opened up Stick for the one-timer. I had pretty good position for [...]
Waking up with the Kings: February 8
Several notes I took during the Kings’ 3-0 loss to the Predators Thursday evening: -I’m wary of fights to “get teams going”, staged fights, line brawls, etc., but Rich Clune’s tilt with Kyle Clifford 2:15 into the game showed the importance of the former King to this Predators team and illustrated why Barry Trotz has [...]

Behold: Bridgestone Arena
Welcome to downtown Nashville, where Bridgestone Arena is just down the street from Jack’s BBQ, Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge, and a variety of honky-tonk bars and small live music venues. There’s certainly a bit of a party feel downtown, and I’m told it translates well into the atmosphere and in-game entertainment. Fans are trickling in off [...]
