The Pacific Division Thread

Difference in PP's. The Habs move the puck around down low, the Kings move it around up high. Wish the Kings would try to get the puck down low more often..

Hope Hiller was watching.

I hope Holland was watching.

Damn! The Oilers are just terrible. Defenseless. Columbus is manhandling them. Blue Jackets up 3-1 after 2 periods in Edmonton.

They also looked awful at the beginning of last season

And the season before that. That is what got Woodcroft fired.

That's why it's too early to proclaim Anaheim and San Jose a rebuild success story, and Canadiens, Bruins, Senators, Devils and Penguins a surprise 5-way cinderella President trophy contenders of the "parity galore" Eastern Conference.

...also too early to declare the Kings a bust.

Mugs, every person on this thread has watched the Kings be mathematically eliminated from the playoffs by December, agree to disagree, this is the perfect time to declare it. =)

No way the Kings are a bust.
Holland will trade our first to bring in Stamkos. We need a sniper, especially one with Cup experience.

never too early! I knew in the preseason.

I didn’t know winning 2 games would cause everyone to give up on the season. Also, there are 20 teams in the league right now that have between 17-20 points. Standings mean nothing right now.

Oilers keep winning games they could lose while they’re not even playing well. Frustrating but predictable as they will sleepwalk half the season and still get a divisional seed.

Funny but predictable to see the Ducks’ fortunes slip for a few games.

 

[JC6388LAKings]

Our Kings have the division lead for now but I don't trust this team to keep it for long because we know how much things change the next coming days/weeks/months. The Kings finishing the season with the lead is going to have to be a miracle if that ever happens.

And that is the annoying part. They are sleepwalking. That team,even w Skinner imo played w more d structure, can win the cup even w Skinner. As I've said b4, roslovic was a good add. Hyman back. They will.prob reel off a streak. I hope.im wrong

My biggest fear with them is either NSH or NYI (especially) trade them their starter around deadline. Because yeah even with Skinner they can turn it on.

They’ve only needed skinner to beat us… 3 times in a row……

I’d give last year to Pickard. But point still stands. They go far in spite of their goaltending.
