Jonathan Quick stopped 25 of 26 shots faced, Justin Williams scored a pair of goals three minutes apart in the second period and that was enough for the Los Angeles Kings to take Game Seven against the San Jose Sharks by a 2-1 score. The Kings will face the winner of Wednesdays Detroit-Chicago Game Seven in the Western Conference Final. Quick has risen to the challenge in the postseason, just as he did last year when he won the Conn Smythe Trophy. In fact, Quicks .948 save percentage in this years playoffs is even better than the .946 save percentage he posted in last years Cup run. The difference, though, is that Quick was a Vezina finalist last year and this year, his .902 save percentage in the regular season was the worst of his career. Its also been imperative for Los Angeles that Quick play at such a high level because the Kings have managed a playoff-low 24.8 shots per game and are being outshot by 4.6 shots per game. Without superior goaltending, theyre not getting through. Williams picked a fine time to break out of his slump. In his last seven games, Williams had no goals, one assist and 11 shots on goal, but then came up big when the series was on the line. Not only did he score a pair of goals, but Williams had a team-leading five shots on goal while playing 19:53, his second-highest total of the postseason. Kings D Slava Voynov assisted on both of Williams goals in Game Seven, and finished the series with five points, tying Jeff Carter and Mike Richards for the team lead. San Joses only goal of Game Seven was scored by D Dan Boyle, and set up by RW Joe Pavelski, giving both four points in the series, tying Joe Thornton for the Sharks team lead. Brent Burns, who had been such a force as a power forward in the second half of the season, managed just one goal (on 19 shots) and no assists through the seven game series. What was somewhat puzzling about San Joses plan for Game Seven was the amount of ice time allocated for fourth liners. Bracken Kearns played a playoff-high 9:32, Adam Burish and Andrew Desjardins played 10-minutes-plus, yet Joe Thornton played 19:36 in a game in which the Sharks trailed for more than half the contest. Thorntons line struggled possession-wise, but with the Sharks trying to mount a comeback, who wouldnt prefer to have Thornton on the ice for an extra couple of minutes? In any case, the Sharks acquitted themselves well. Even if he was outdueled by Quick, G Antti Niemi finished the playoffs with a .930 save percentage and there is a subtle changing of the guard taking place, as Logan Couture and Joe Pavelski emerge into more prominent roles, necessitated by Thornton and Patrick Marleau getting older. But now, the Kings continue their title defence against either Detroit or Chicago. No matter who gets through, the Kings are going to have a real shot at repeating if Jonathan Quick is going to remain the hottest goaltender on the planet.

Safety Malcolm Jenkins expects members of the Philadelphia Eagles to make a statement during the national anthem prior to Monday nights game at the Chicago Bears.Speaking on Sportsradio 94WIP, Jenkins said he believes there will definitely be players on the Eagles who will show their feelings about social injustice prior to kickoff, as Colin Kaepernick and others have done across the league.Last week, we talked about doing some stuff, but we wanted to make sure that we didnt do anything to take away from the families that suffered from 9/11, Jenkins said. We didnt want to mess with that day, so we left last week alone. But moving forward, Im sure there will be guys that will probably join in.Jenkins added that he will most likely be one of those players.For me, it has nothing to do with this country or the flag or the anthem in itself, he said. Really its just to continue to push forward the conversation about social injustice, and thats a range of things from police brutality to wages and job opportunities, education. Theres just a lot of things systematically that have been set up in this country since its inception that put minorities, especially African-Americans, at a disadvantage when you talk about quality of life and actually growing in this country.So we want to continue to keep that conversation going and push it to as many people as we can obviously while doing our part in bringing forth change. Obviously this has been a hot topic, and the more players that join in, the further this conversation goes.Jenkins said he has had a conversation with head coach Doug Pederson about the possibility of a player gesture.Im not sure, JJenkins said when asked exactly how the players intended on expressing themselves.dddddddddddd I still want to talk to some of my teammates. Theres been conversations that weve had of, what do we want to do? Do we want to do something as a team or as individuals? And I think thats still being discussed. But I doubt that well have anybody kneeling.Asked about Jenkins comments on Saturday, Pederson said: Listen, I respect players decisions. Everybody has their right to either protest or whatever they are going to do. Malcolm and I have talked about this. Its going to happen regardless of what I decide or say, and I respect the players decisions on it. The biggest thing is I just dont want it to become a distraction to the rest of the team. Thats the biggest thing from my standpoint.Pederson added that he did not think the league demonstrations had been a distraction for teams to this point. He said that he did not know what Jenkins plans were, but that he would support a team-wide demonstration if the players decided to go that route.Listen, if they wanted to do something team-wide, I would definitely be for that, he said. I think it just shows unity, and theres no division that way.Pederson also praised Jenkins for his leadership and community involvement.?Malcolm is a class act all the way, he said. He does a lot of things in the community here. He speaks out on a lot of things. Hes a great teammate and a great leader of this football team. I just appreciate him coming to me first and just letting me know. ' ' '
