While some of us might feel less sad about losing Edler than others the lack of depth on the left side now is a scary proposition. Here's to hoping a season of conditioning in the A gets Toby to realize what he could be instead of trying to hang onto a spot in the lineup. Before the tilt wtih Edmonton coming up it feels great to acknowledge the kings for guaranteeing their spot in the playoffs, also for only their 6th 100 point campaign in the NHL and they have a shot at topping the following records:
Most points one season 105 (1975)
Most wins one season 48 (2016)
Points percentage 0.656 (they'd have to get to 108 for this)
Kind of amazing considering for most of the season the expectations for this squad had been raised, but now they're flirting with the best season in regular season kings history and the goal at the beginning of the season was just to be "a playoff contender". So here's to them for a day, and it all goes out the window on Tuesday if they don't show well against Edmonton since we're all spoiled children who can't have nice things.
