Williams pulls Kings into the fight

The Los Angeles Times previews Game 7 between the Kings and San Jose Sharks, in part noting Justin Williams' recent clutch performances.

"He just loves — he loves this time but he loves the pressure situations and he seems to just embrace it," Kings center Mike Richards said. "He's excited for every game and he's vocal. He's just a competitor. He's not the biggest guy. He's — I don't want to say skinny — but he's a smaller guy.

"Man, does he ever battle out there. It doesn't matter how big he is and how big the other person is. For a guy as competitive he is, he usually comes up with the puck, and he's a really big emotional leader for our team. I guess just leading us with how hard he works and how competitive he is with the puck. His personality, I think, just pulls everybody into the fight."
