    I disagree. This team is built for the playoffs as opposed to the regular season. Players like Brown simply can't be as physical over 82 games... he'd be dead. But this defense-first, big player team, is hard for other teams to key on as far as scoring. That's great for the playoffs as long as you have a great goalie and the usual bit of luck. They'll never win a pres. trophy, when scoring ruts will be a regular occurrence... BUT if they can somehow make the post season they will be formidable and a team other teams will not like to play.

    Obviusoly I am joking around. I thought my numbers added up. The three teams better would be 30,29,28 so we'd be 27th.....eh, I hate math.

    Your numbers weren't wrong.

    3 teams better = 30,29, and 28th worst.
    Kings = 27th worst
    26 teams worse = 1-26

    I'm not exactly sure what premise you think I've presented in my short post, but I don't think you understood my point. Nowhere am I saying that "good clip" = Presidents trophy or division title, even. Missing 2 (AMart is back) of your key defenders for potentially the entire season and not falling apart is a great accomplishment. The Kings are the proverbial "built for the playoffs" type of team, that's not in dispute. That being said, with this current defensive personnel, I don't see it being Stanley Cup championship caliber. It's championship or bust to me, when you're the defending champs. Now, if you think that having DD44 and Muzzin in the lineup come playoff time makes you think repeat, then yeah, we disagree.
