Actually, no. He's not that good of a coach. Better than Sutter? I don't have a clue but BB will wear thin after a (quick) while. Carlyle is FAR better and the one the Kings should have hired, IMO.

That is a large if
They're this year's Devils and they won't make the playoffs either.
I hate when it seems like I'm going to be right.

Ducks have come back from 2 - 0 deficit in NJ to force overtime. They are now at least 1 point closer. Kings need to decide if they are winners or losers.
And THAT right there is the biggest issue I have with the Kings. Good teams are good because they won't stand for being less. The Kings....well, I still see a team content with being less, squeaking into the playoffs and being fodder for the division winners.
I still say Anaheim won't make it, but I'll admit I'm getting nervous.
Quacks just won in Florida. 15-2-4 in the last 21 games. 5 points behind Calgary and the Kings. Remember the bounce after Sutter was hired? Yeah, I don't either.
It will come down to the Ducks and Calgary. This is going to be a fun finish for the 8th seed. I believe Phoenix will lock down the 7th but it is between these two for the 8th.
