More postgame quotes/notes | Los Angeles Kings Blog

Here’s the complete quotes and notes from this afternoon’s game:

KINGS HEAD COACH MARC CRAWFORD:

(Re: game recap): “What happened more than anything is our team hit a wall today. You’re playing against a team that is desperate and really found themselves and that is what happens when those paths cross. We squeezed a lost out of our team playing three games in three-and-a-half days…. There’s no excuse, you never want to play like that in front of your fans but we ran out of gas today.”

KINGS GOALTENDER ERIK ERSBERG:

(Re: game recap): “It was a tough game. They’re a good team and when they get the chances on the power play they’re going to score sometimes. I didn’t have my best day which happens sometimes… That’s how it goes when you fall asleep a little bit against a team like Dallas. They’re going to punish you.”

KINGS GOALTENDER DANIEL TAYLOR:

(Re: first NHL goal against): “I kind of wanted a nice, easy one right to the belly to start off with and then see the breakaways. It was a tough one but you just take it in stride and hopefully we’ll rebound from this.”

STARS HEAD COACH DAVE TIPPETT:

(Re: game recap) “We did some good things, but we recognize that we still have to continue to improve. Today was another step in that process. We’ve been finding ways to shoot ourselves in the foot, but today we were a very determined team. When we were on the power play, we got our chances. If we didn’t get a goal, we were generating momentum. We started the game well and carried it through. It was a strong effort and we’ll need to do it again tomorrow.”

STARS GOALTENDER MARTY TURCO:

(Re: Kings lack of shots on goal): “That’s the idea of our game plan is to shutdown anybody on the other team who’s talented. When there’s that much to play for you have to be super cautious. We have a game plan that we’d like to execute all the time, but when guys are playing that hard, that intense and that focused, it’s pretty hard to generate much. Today is a great example of what we need to do, and something we’re going to need every shift from now on.”

STARS FORWARD LOUI ERIKSSON:

(Re: game recap): “It’s important for us to win now, and we have to build every time we play now. It’s a huge win for us today and we have to do it against Anaheim tomorrow and play hard again.”

KINGS NOTES:

Kevin Dallman has four points (2-2=4) in the last five games…

Daniel Taylor made his NHL debut today. He is the seventh goalie to see action for the Kings this season, tying an NHL record. The 1989-90 Quebec Nordiques and 2002-03 St. Louis Blues also used seven goalies in one season…

Michael Cammalleri scored his 19th goal of the season. If he gets one more the Kings will have five 20-goal scorers (joining Dustin Brown, Anze Kopitar, Alexander Frolov and Patrick O’Sullivan). The Kings haven’t had five 20-goal scorers since 1993-94…

Cammalleri is now only seven goals away from 100 as a King and in the NHL…

The Kings finished 4-4-0 against Dallas this season…

The Kings need only two more points for 3,000 all-time

anthony

what are the odds that Lord cammi will score Number 100 as a King player.
I wager 4 to 1 against that happening.

For those who did not make the game, I’m happy to report there was one huge improvement in the Kings organization,

We now have Ice Girls. They don’t skate very well, but they don’t have to.

Ice Girls instead of a winning hockey club, fantastic.

Keep Cammi, Get rid of ice girls. Unless they wear bikini tops and serve beers.

There should be no complaints. Zero.

Tamp won.

Kings lost.

Stamkos.

” Cammalleri is now only seven goals away from 100 as a King and in the NHL”

He’ll never get there.

I thought after that non-goal call…which I still believe is a legal goal…that the refs had money on this game…
Moondoggie

Rumors of Ersberg winning the Vezina were obviously exaggerated….

Ice girls eh? I guess we’re encouraging a family atmosphere…”Come, bring the family, oggle girls your daughters…”

Don’t get me wrong, I prefer ice girls to ice boys any day.
kevin

aren’t the girls like 15?

I hope Cammy gets more goals. . . make his worth a little bit more to Nashville so we can get Suter.

“We now have Ice Girls. They don’t skate very well, but they don’t have to.”

OMG when did this happen?? WTF? I like how the Kings do this with 2 games left. oh well, I guess as a “trial” for next season. I still say pretty stupid and small-market-ish (the Ducks already do stupid stuff like this).

I am now watching Kings Insider touring Michael Cammalleri’s bedroom closet and kitchen. very enlightening (cough sarcasm cough). this is so boring and pointless, unlike the other episodes I’ve watched – Brown, Johnson etc.
brianguy

HE HAS A JEREMY ROENICK GAME USED STICK ON THE WALL along with Robitaille and Sakic and Blake. I believe that speaks volumes. I knew there was something I didn’t like about Calamari, but couldn’t put my finger on it.

haha Rob Blake’s stick is taller than MC. classic! see ya runt…

” Cammalleri is now only seven goals away from 100 in the NHL”

inclusion of the word ‘Kings’ in that sentence is just factually incorrect.
Dan H.

Now if we can get rid of the guys on the Kings squad along with the girls that rank 4′s and 5′s and replace them with all girls rating 8 or 9.

And get rid of those annoying drummers and the chicken head move they all seem to think is mandatory while playing drums.

Ice girls are the best thing going at any game your down by 5 goals. Keep them!!!!!!!
Oh, and I was ogling them with my very hot wife sitting next to me. Lighten up.
brianguy

I was thinking the same Dan H. what IS that?

the problem with the drummer boys (other than they’re goofy) is that nobody seems to know what to do when they’re “performing”… no cheering, everyone just kinda stops to listen hoping something cool will happen and there’s dead silence. then they do a little “Go Kings Go” and people clap a little, maybe. something tells me they’ll not be asked back

Kingston (I mean Bailey) is pretty good OTOH. kids and adults both like him and he’s not just there for kicks, but actually knows how to be funny and manages to relate his act to what’s happening on the ice. whoever that guy is, does a great job.

Cammy has Coors in his fridge. I think that is a
good enough reason to trade
him. I wonder just how many other pro jocks drink
that pisswater?
