I think that puts the Kings in second in the Pacific, tied in points with the Nucks but played fewer games

Uh no, Nucks have 73, we're at 70

I agree Ox that Jones should start in net on Thursday however, I think Sutter goes with Quick in both. Every game from here on out is a big one and Sutter said in a big game he wants Quick.

Honestly facing the canucks in the first round with out without home ice is the best the kings could hope for as a 1st round opponent

With a back-to-back coming up with Ottawa on Thursday and the Ducks (in Anaheim) on Friday anybody besides me think Sutter should start Jones on Thursday and put Quick back in against the Ducks?

Ox

My feeling is that Thursday's game will likely decide Friday. If Quick goes Thursday & wins, he'll likely start Friday. 8 game winning streak and Quick is on a roll. I don't see Sutter changing anytime soon (even if Quick has had what, 15 straight starts or something?)

Gutty win last night.... Took the Wings a bit to find their legs on the second game of a back to back. But when they did, the Kings stayed tough. Some monster hits!
