*from LA Kings playoff media guide
https://nhl.bamcontent.com/images/assets/binary/297865588/binary-file/file.pdf
  • The LA Kings are 12-30 in game 4 of a playoff series. The Kings have only won 1 series when trailing 3 games to 0 (April 30, 2014)
  • Jake Muzzin and Drew Doughty returned to the lineup Sunday night and provided much needed stability on the blue line. The Kings played their best game in the series, but yet still fell short. Kings started game coming right ouf the gates hitting everything they saw, but as the game went, probably got too comfortable. Cody Eakin tied the game at 1 followed by 2 more goals coming from James Neal and William Karlsson. Kopitar got a late goal to pull it within 1, but it was far too late.
  • The Kings were among the best teams in the league when leading after 2 periods losing only twice in regulation and once in overtime with 27 wins.
  • Marc-Andre Fleury went 29-13-4 this season for the Knights with a 2.24 GAA and .927% save%. He has won 3 Stanley Cups with the Pittsburgh Penguins and has started in 113 playoff games. In the playoffs he is 62-51 with a 2.65 GAA and a .908 save%
  • Jonathan Quick went 33-28-3 this season with a 2.40 GAA and a .921 save% with 5 shutouts. He has won 2 Stanley Cups with a Con Smythe win in 2012. He has appeared in 81 playoff games and has a 2.27 GAA and a .921 save% with 9 shutouts. Quick made 23 saves out of 26 in game 3.


GO KINGS GO!!!

One game at a time and anything is possible. They've looked beatable, especially last game. Just don't get swept for a start. Gotta at least drag the series out.

Maybe Blake can target some fundamentally unlikable guys in the off-season, seems crucial in the new NHL.

Kings need to play with some swagger / skill / creativity. Not just dump and chase and hand pucks over to them. Can't simply grind out wins anymore in this league.

This is the end, beautiful friend.
This is the end, my only friend, the end.
Of our elaborate plans, the end.
Of everything that stands, the end.
No safety or surprise, the end.

I just don't want to spend the rest of eternity hearing from bandwagoning upstarts saying they swept the Kings their first season, and have to hear it every year until the Kings beat them in response in the playoffs.


On one hand, they're an easy team to root for with the persistence and never-say-die thing they've had all year. I'll whine till I'm blue in the face about the cheap shots and diving though.

But as happy as I am for the city in general after all it's been through, I can't stand when all fans have known is success. It's the first-year Colorado Avalanche all over again, with somehow even more cockiness.

It's not just the cockiness, it's the arrogance as well. Like people were coming at me on twitter gloating about breaking many expansion team records. Like you want a banner for that?

They are gonna get bitched slapped in the second round. SJ/Nashville/Winnipeg are all better.
