    The healing process has begun for the Kings, but Peter Harrold's broken wrist, Drew Doughty's sprained thumb and Jonathan Quick's sore shoulder are likely to mend well before the disappointment over their six-game playoff loss to Vancouver begins to fade.

    While preparing for final physicals and meetings, players and Coach Terry Murray insisted they thought they were going to play a seventh game Tuesday against the Canucks — and that they could have won it.

    Not skating or watching video "feels really weird," forward Brad Richardson said Tuesday. "It was such a tough series. It hasn't sunk in yet, to be honest with you. It will and then you sit back and reflect on the season."

    It was a season of many positives, including a franchise-record-tying 46 wins and record 24 road wins. But being unable to hold leads entering the third period of Games 4 and 6 is what's uppermost in most players' minds.
