Kings win 6-5 in Shootout
Dustin Brown scored a sweet goal, faking Patzold to the ice and shooting over him. Then Dan Cloutier came up big against Torrey Mitchell, who had already scored twice in the game. Mitchell tried to fake left and go right but Clouts made a diving, glove save. Notes and quotes from the locker room to come. Very soon since the blog isn't working well and this came back with an error message when I tried to post on my way to the locker room.

Even the Canadians get Kings stories wrong:
"Trailing by two goals, the Sharks got scores from (Dustin) Brown and Brady Murray down the third-period stretch 19 seconds apart to send the game into overtime."
Well played, boys!
