Vegas win was solid.
Colorado was on the last night of a 3 in 4
Florida was on the middle game of a cross coast 3 in 4 and 5 games in 8 days and we were still outplayed, it took a Talbot .968 to secure the win
Winnipeg was like game 3 of the season and when they lost Vilardi
Kings have had a light schedule being rested and almost full health and it still takes a miracle to beat some of those teams.
Just like the NYR game was supposed to, playing well tonight would go a long way to assuage thus-far legitimate fears of strong opponents.
Fair, but how can you discount the Colorado game but not the King's loss to the Rangers? That was back to back with one key guy out and Danault hit in the face? And just like Florida, they were on the opposite coast playing their 5th in 8th? And no way were the Kings outplayed against Florida, you might have that mixed up with another game because they were lucky to hang on so close. More possession, more high danger chances (7-3), more scoring chances (18-9).
Think about how Vegas feels about the Kings. They needed a shootout to beat us and then got creamed in the next game against us.
Colorado got them in the opener when they were struggling (just like the Kings got Winnipeg then), and then got totally outclassed in the last game against us.
I doubt Winnipeg feels great about us, they got whooped both times.
Just saying, you can always find a reason for a loss. By this point of the season it's evening getting to where every team has had b2b's and long layoffs. Every team struggles to beat strong opponents, that's why they are good.
