LOS ANGELES -- The Sharks know how physical the Los Angeles Kings will attempt to be during their Western Conference quarterfinal series, and they feel they can withstand whatever their Southern California rivals dish out.
In fact, the Sharks say they'll have no problem responding in kind."I think we have a lot of guys that can give it back. We expect that from them," Sharks defenseman Brent Burns said. "It's part of the battle. You take it, and give it when you can."There was no mistaking the Kings' intentions in the opening minutes of Game 1 as they tried to establish a physical presence.Sharks prepared to hit back if Kings play physical
