You may see the glass as 99.6% empty, but I see it as 0.4% full!

Looking at their upcoming schedule, I'm guessing that gap from a playoff spot will become much wider. Islanders, Boston 2X, Washington 2X, Nashville, Tampa Bay...all in February. Could be a really ugly month.

The team is primed for the playoffs! Solid defense, excellent goaltending and high powered goal scoring offense.

I wanted to bump this. We're now 6 points out with a game in hand on the 8th place Canucks and 19 games to go. Very doable, but while beating the Rangers and Devils felt good, they're at the bottom with the Kings. They really needed to beat the Islanders this trip, and they have a tough schedule coming up against good teams this year, they'll need to play better than they have. And Blake does seem to be looking past this year, so there's that. I'm just saying there's a chance.

^^ They don't "need" to beat ANYONE.

The Kings "need" a #1 , 2, or 3 pick in the draft.

[kings022]

The Kings need a solid draft overall, not a top 3 pick. Never been on board with the notion the team should tank for the sake of draft position.

If Kings win about 8 more in a row they will be about in the 8th seed.

Looks like my last ekg.

Didn't even "see" the Kings line when I first glanced at this...Something to be said for consistency; the precipitous drop of the Ducks is something to behold.
