Simmonds postgame quotes
Wayne Simmonds’ postgame thoughts… (on the two goals…) SIMMONDS: “We’re obviously without our top two scorers right now, so you’ve got to crash and bang the net to get results. In the playoffs, a lot of the goals, a lot of the deciding goals, are caused by crashing the net. I think that’s the type [...]
The quest for the…crate?
In case anyone thinks there is no fun to be had during a tough hockey season, a very helpful reader named Philip passed this along.

As noted earlier, the Kings stayed with the same lines in practice this morning that they used in last night’s game, meaning that the new-look line of center Trevor Lewis with wingers Kyle Clifford and Wayne Simmonds will get a second game together. That line didn’t generate much offense — it combined for two shots [...]
Smyth, Simmonds, Parse updates
First, the latest news. Scott Parse was on the ice today for the first time since he had hip surgery in November. Parse hit the ice in a practice jersey and sweat pants — and skates, of course — for some post-practice conditioning skating, but he’s still probably looking at an early-March return, at best. [...]
