First round fodder
Grubaurer made a couple saves but the Avs make him look good. More to do with system than him dominating in any way.
This made me feel better
The Kings just don't have enough of an answer anywhere for an elite team that decides it's not messing around.
1-3 against Col, 0-2 against Vegas. 10-5-6 against everyone else. Not bad. That's when those multiple late game GA that turn into OT losses hurt though. You need to finish those I think 4 games in regulation if you're going to go 1-5 so far against the best.
8 guys in the lineup with less than 100 NHL games. Another 5 without the equivalent of 2 years experience. 5 of those 13 players are defensemen. Can't even be mad. Just not in the same class as the Avs.
The season is likely done, and there's 4 games with the Blues and Knights in the next week. All at home, but it's been a long while since home ice meant anything for the Kings.
Once they get done Vegas next Sunday, they do have 8 of the next 10 against SJ and Ari, but they might need to win all 8 of those games if they don't come up with a huge week.
Just need an Amadio hat trick for Kings fans to lose their minds.
