The Chatter Before Game 7, LA/San Jose

from Pierre LeBrun of ESPN,

 Game 7.

It explains itself.

No matter how many you’ve played, it’s special unto itself.

“If you don’t get butterflies, there’s something wrong with you,” said Los Angeles Kings veteran Justin Williams, who is 3-0 in Game 7s in his career with seven points (3-4).

“But at the same time, control the butterflies, be calm, be confident; that’s how we aim to approach it,” Williams added after the morning skate at Staples Center.

Darryl Sutter Post-Game Last Night

On the franchise not having played in a Game 7 since 2002:
“Who cares? So should we have a major announcement tomorrow that we haven’t played a Game 7? [Reporter: Just wondering if there was anything extra that you need to say.] Not really, no.”

On the key to Game 7:
“I think probably for us would be to stay away from those penalties early. Other than that, I thought we played pretty well tonight.”

Darryl Sutter: Hi Ray.

Ray Ratto: How’d it going?

DS: Good, you?

RR: Can’t complain a whole lot.

DS: No sense bitching, right? Nobody’s going to listen to you. Good? Pierre, you done?

Pierre LeBrun: I missed all of it, so are you good?

DS: Pardon?

PL: Was it good?

DS: Yeah, it was awesome. I found out during the press conference that we haven’t played a Game 7 since 2002. I can’t wait to get back there. It’s big for me.

Diving Talk Heats Up In The LA/SJ Series

from Lisa Dillman of the LA Times,

Kings defenseman Drew Doughty scoffed at the notion, put forth by Sharks forward TJ Galiardi, that goalie Jonathan Quick engages in “a little embellishment.”

Doughty stood up for his goalie Quick, a spirited defense, and then said the San Jose player is a noted diver. He took issue with the comments and said they went beyond the usual playoff back-and-forth.

“It’s not even playoff talk,” Doughty told The Times after Thursday’s morning skate before Game 5. “It’s just funny to even hear that from a guy who is the biggest diver on their team. Like it’s just ridiculous he can even say that, to be honest.

“But I don’t want to get involved in that stuff. I don’t think you have to watch many (Sharks’ games). You can just watch three of his shifts and you’ll see how many times he dives. There’s been times where even the refs are telling him, just get up, because he’s diving so often.”
