According to the report on the Kings' website, Jonathan Quick will start in goal tonight.

``We're a young hockey club that is headed in the right direction,'' coach Terry Murray said. ``It's very important that you approach these games with a playoff mentality and take something from this that's going to be there for you in the future.''

I would infer from this comment by TM that he knows the playoffs are not in the cards for the kings this year! Gotta watch all these last games and enjoy, cuz its another long summer for the kings this year. It will be interesting to see if we go all in this summer and trade our "chips" to get something big!

I take it as the opposite: "Let's make the most of these games and go with Quick... cause he has the swagger"
