They've come this far, might as well win the series.

Series is even, it'e anyone's series now, go big or go home. Kings need to weather the ensuing storm and stay out of the box. It's gonna be interesting but I don't foresee a blowout, rather a tight close knit game as either team won't want to make that one mistake.

Notes:
Greene in for Mitchell
Niemi in goal for SJ
Vlasic out

Demers dismisses LA success since the game 4 line changes ," they can jumble their lines all they want. "

Greene absolutely destroyed Sharks in the 2006 run by Edmonton to the Cup. He certainly isn't that guy any more, but it would be nice if he could channel that young buck and clean out the front of the net tonight.

And for god's sake the Kings need to stay out of the box. My spider sense is telling me a special teams play will decide the game tonight, for or against.

If Quick can dazzle, the Kings will be tough to beat. Sadly, this defense gives up some good looks. If Quick can be that guy management signed for ten years, the Kings can take this.

Glad to see Greene back in the lineup. He's an element that's been missing but it's a shame it had to be Mitchell he replaces. Mitchell is the best defensive defenseman on the team in my estimation. Gonna miss his defense in the Kings zone.

True but Greene adds that element of toughness in front of the net. Look back at most of the Sharks goals and they were scored from mainly in front of the net. Mitchell is solid defensively, but he isn't that clear the crease type of player.

Greene is going to remove someone's face if they get that close to Quick. At least he hasn't lost that part of his game although he has slowed down, not that he was blazing to begin with.

Also as much as I love the guy (Mitchell), he isn't the same player who was huge in helping LA win the Cup two years ago. He has lost a step and isn't as effective as he once was.

I would be very surprised to see LA resign him when his contract expires June 30 but am grateful for what he did here.

I still think Greene is a monster in front of the net, that guy is strong. When he wants to move a guy, they get moved. He is slow, so hopefully he doesn't get caught. As mentioned I wish he wasn't in at Mitchells expense

my dreams are a shit ton more confident about the game than my head is. I just woke up and my first dream was the Kings winning the stanley cup, my 2nd dream was the Kings up 5-0 against SJ 2 minutes into the game...

One problem that makes me nervous with Greene is his tendency to take stupid ill-timed penalties. If he avoids that, big plus in terms of what others have said about him leveling Sharkbait around Quick.

I think the only thing missing from Thortons resume is losing a series after up 3-0, hope they get it done! :whistle:

Muzzin is jumpy as hell, tries to move the puck as soon as it touches his stick. That doesn't lead to good decisions
