Around the League '15-'16: The Final Countdown

[kingsfan28]

I'd say the Kings decided their fate when they stopped trying with about 5 minutes to go in the 2nd period of last night's game.

This x 82. They let the Jets turn the game into a shinny game instead of locking it down for the final 5 of the second.Cost them the game.

Sharks in 5.

+1. sharks in 5 would be fine.

Don't matter who we play sharks or Preds either series is gonna be hard and grueling. Sharks are bigger but Preds have the better D and Goalie. The history with the Sharks means they are going to be ready. Would not be shocked one bit if we lost. We are just not as deep as we use to be. Hoping for another great run to Stanley. Still Proud no matter what go Kings.

The Sharks are going to lose to someone... may as well be the Kings.

 

[Hatter]

And the Ducks will win the Pacific and the Jennings......

 

[kingsholygrail]

I hope the Caps lose in the first round.

 

[kingsfan28]

And the Ducks will win the Pacific and the Jennings......

More banners that don't matter.

And the Ducks will win the Pacific and the Jennings......

They can have as many divison banners as they want… Thats not what you stirve for

 

[kingsholygrail]

Woulda been nice to have home ice for more than the first round though.

 

[kingsfan28]

So that's how you protect a 2 goal lead.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Caps pull the goalie for some reason.

 

[Hatter]

ugh

 

[WHOneedsSOX]

Division officially blown. Pathetic.

 

[Bandit]

First team to win the fiction 4 times since all the way back in 2012 when Vancouver did it. Expect the same result.

This isn't the first time. Last time the Kings led a division by 12pts they lost the lead to the Canadiens.

 

[kingsfan28]

4x division champs, just like the Canucks and it got them pretty banners to hang from the rafters , but not THE banner.

 

[Scottkmlps]

Preds in 6.

 

[The Pale King]

Unbelievable that they lost last night. Unbelievable. Most down I've felt following a loss since the Florida collapse last spring, which was the first time I thought they might not make the playoffs.

Cost themselves a chance at a much easier series in Nashville. I think they can beat the Sharks, but expect a much chippier, uglier series with a lot more bad blood. Those are things you generally want to avoid.

 

[KingsHockey24]

Pretty tired of playing San Jose in the playoffs.

 

[Hatter]

Well that is just obviously more stupid stuff that doesnt matter. and the ducks or whoever can have all the home ice they want. That isn't what you strive for.

 

[TonySCV]

Impressive for the Ducks after that abysmal start of theirs. Kings had a terrific regular season. The fact that they were even in a position to coast over the last 2 weeks is amazing and not something we are used to.

Nobody should give a crap about winning the division. I can't believe it's even banner worthy. Meaningless.

Kings/Sharks is a more entertaining match-up, and probably the better one all things considered. If the Kings can't beat San Jose, they sure as hell aren't beating Nashville.

just so silly.

Right on, Tony. Remind me to ask you what I should give a crap about. You have any thoughts on what I should wear tomorrow?

Something attractive in leather.

The division is not meaningless. It means home ice, less travel, and proving that you can actually win a ****ing game when you're up 3-0 with 23 minutes to go.
