GDT: GM#14 LA Kings vs Anaheim Ducks @7:30-Willie Era Begins!

If the Kings win tomorrow, there's a scenario in which they could be 4 points out of a playoff spot with a game in hand.

my projections are showing they are 6 points behind. those games vs pacific teams will be huge, they can make the difference right there. the window is still very much open. just bring back that game 7 spirit.

Teams that have to climb over 5 other teams to get to a playoff spot after Thanksgiving typically don't make the playoffs.

I suppose it's possible. The Kings do play in the Pathetic Division after all.

The rest of this home stand is pretty big for the Kings.

14 possible points before Thanksgiving. That's pretty huge.

Hate to say it's make-or-break because if they're trending up and get, say, 10 of 14 have to like their odds a lot more. It's definitely a lot tougher than their cream puff schedule to start the season. God that's what disappoints me most, might have been the easiest stretch--by opponent, relative health, and travel--of Kings hockey in this era and they absolutely tanked.
