It’s almost game time here in San Jose, as the last of the eight first-round series has its opening faceoff. A reminder that for the radio listeners, tonight’s game will be broadcast on 570-AM. Nick Nickson and Daryl Evans will also be doing a special road version of the “Kings Talk” call-in show after the game, and they will have assistant coach John Stevens as a guest.
