Sutter's steely resolve drives Kings

The Los Angeles Times previews the upcoming second round playoff series between the Kings and Anaheim Ducks.

Kings president and general manager Dean Lombardi and head coach Darryl Sutter share several worthwhile thoughts on playoff rivalries.

One of the best quotes comes from Lombardi though, asked what he thought when his team was in the 0-3 hole to San Jose.

"We all know Darryl well enough to know that he's not going to tell you anything just to pump you up," Lombardi said. "It's about what he believes. I remember him with that steely stare.

"He said, 'I can guarantee you one thing: We're not going quietly.' He looked at me and said, 'We can still win this thing.'"
