If the Kings make it to the conference finals, is that really a failure for the Kings?

That wasn't what I was responding to.

I think a successful season needs a step forward, I'm satisfied with round 2.

Right now we'd be squared up with Seattle, who we haven't beaten this year. You should always be worried about your playoff opponent (or respect them, whatever word you choose), but you shouldn't be able to pick out such clear achilles heels, either.

There isn't a single good goalie in the Pacific with Thompson out. It is a clear issue for any playoff team from the Pacific.

Copley was still in Ontario the last time the Kings played Seattle so the 0-1-2 record might not reflect how the teams match up now.

It will be for the #clownshow around here. The same group bitching about how much better the Kings SHOULD be are the same ones that will tell you the Ducks are 'rebuilding' the right way. LOLz

The only clown show will be from those who don't understand that the how the Kings make the playoffs and advance in the playoffs is more important at this stage, than how far they go in the playoffs.

The Kings are not Stanley Cup contenders. If the kids are front and center in a deep run, then great. If the Kings are relying on the bought and paid for middle six forwards, plus Kopitar for advancement, not so great.

The Kings aren’t even sniffing a playoff spot without those so-called ‘paid for’ forwards and Kopitar. They would be exactly where the Ducks are - losing every game in an embarrassing fashion sucking all the potential confidence out of their souls. Yah, what a rebuild.

It's just a philosophical difference between you and I here.

I don't find the current state acceptable; I see it as an opportunity to take an easy clear advantage. You see it as 'good enough' to take a shot. You're not wrong, I just feel like we're pissing one away here.

The Kings played really well, they seem cursed in that building lately.

However, if Edler sees any ice in the playoffs it's 100% on Blake. Even if the higher end options don't work out, just trade a draft pick to someone to get a competent LD on an expiring contract that can play 15 minutes and not be a total liability. We are in big trouble if we draw Edmonton and Edler is playing, him vs McDavid would be like having a defensive tackle covering Tyreek Hill.

We don’t even need a trade. We have Bjornfot as a clear upgrade over Edler but he’s just getting splinters in his ass while Gollum on skates gets abused night in night out.

I agree, but the coaching staff doesn’t. For some insane reason they prefer Edler over the younger players.

I feel like the only way we get him out of the lineup is by bringing in someone to replace him.
