Outscored 4-16 in their last 3 games, 2 games being against the powerhouses Senators and Islanders. 2-4-1 to start the season.
I only watched the game against the Jets and they didn't look very good, i think the good guys held them to under 20 shots.
I feel like the Kings are usually pretty feisty when they come home from a long road trip and need to snap a losing streak but instead they get pounded 7-2.
They started the season 11-2-2 last year with the same players and the same coach, except now they also have Kovalchuk who is tied for 2nd in points and have Carter healthy too. Sure Brown is out but with those two guys in they shouldn't be worse.
So, what's up? I sort of find it interesting how both the Kings and Blues came out of the gate firing on all cylinders last year and neither team have seem to fully realize it's a new season and points matter as much as they do in February.
