After the Kings beat the Sharks in Monday's game 3 in overtime, defenseman Drew Doughty told reporters the following:
You know they're thinking a little bit about it right now, so we're right where we want to be.
Now, the Sharks seem to be the ones right where they want to be, nursing a 3-1 series lead as the series returns to Los Angeles for a pivotal game 5. This is a much different team than the one that lost four straight games to Los Angeles two years ago, but you know San Jose wants to close the series out as quickly as possible.
