More NHL Playoffs: | | | | |At the end of Game 1 on Saturday in Chicago, things got a little chippy. The play most in question was a check that forward took from behind the Chicago net. Richards looked shaken up Ashton Hagans Jersey after the play as he made his way to the bench, leaving the Kings to worry if Richards would be OK for Game 2.Although Kings coach Darryl Sutter said Richards is "fine" after the hit, he was out of the lineup for Game 2 Sunday.Even after taking the pregame skate, he was a surprise scratch when the official rosters were handed out, leaving the Kings in a bind trying to replace their leading playoff scorer. It will only keep alive the debate about whether the hit from Bolland was dirty or not -- he didn't receive a penalty or any supplemental discipline. Bolland's 'back check' Originally when he was asked about the hit on Richards after the game, Sutter said he hadn't really seen it, so there was no comment. Now, after having a chance to see it, does he have any thoughts?"Nothing more to say about it. It's really not an i sue," he said.Clearly Sutter isn't worried about it in front of the media but it certainly could lead to a more physical game on Sunday. Not only were the Kings bothered by that hit, but the were equally displeased with a shot Dustin Brown gave Jonathan Toews. Will all of that have a carryover effect?"For sure," Toews said before Game 2. "We know it's going to be a physical series. That's what we expect from them. They're a team that wants to win. They're willing to do whatever it takes. We have to be the same way. "For the most part we want to be smart and stay out of the stuff after the whistle. That gets nothing done for us. We'll continue doing that."Dustin Penner of the Kings agreed, saying they need to bring more physicality, if for no other reason than to disrupt the Blackhawks' pa sing on the outside and make it tougher on them. It's something LA really needs to do. The Kings are a big, physical team, and part of their game is making life miserable on opposing puck carriers. If things get a little nastier, that probably favors them.Only one game is in the books and things are already heating up. Aren't the last two rounds of the Stanley Cup playoffs grand?
