It sucks that Vegas is going to be within a point. But the Ducks and Jets are all but out of it now. The Kings are one of 5 teams fighting for 4 spots. Have to like the odds.

As long as it doesn’t go to OT, I am fine
 
Amadio has a solid game, I always thought he'd be a 20's point 4th liner here. Started out OK then kinda went to pieces. He looks a lot better in Vegas, had to admit I thought he was done after those 2 years in Canada.

Things change rapidly, but Nashville has been struggling and they play some pretty good teams coming up. And in April they have MIN (2), FLA, PIT, EDM, STL, CGY (2), TBL, COL with only a few easier opponents. Edmonton doesn't have it easy either, but they are playing a bit better.

If we can get 2 more points on this trip and play well against SJ late next week I really like our chances.
 
Danault is two goals and eight assists away from Mike Richards’ highest regular season point total in LA.

Arvidsson needs 9 more goals this season to beat Gaborik’s highest regular season point total in LA (he’s already tied Gaborik’s highest assist tally).

For all the people that think coaches know everything and fans are clueless just look at Montreal.

A move as simple as putting Suzuki and Caufield back together (which the fans all wanted) has them looking like a different team.

Caufield 14 points in 11 games since their coaching change.

Edm playing a bit better with a new coach, but they seem like pretenders - cant really string a lot of wins together - losing tonite v MTl. Vancouver after their upheaval seems like playing much better - i would not be surprised if they end up in the discussion here soon.

Looks like Nashville snapped out of their doldrums at the Shark's expense. Pulverized them tonight. Luff with a 3 point night.

Yeah, they don't appear to have a lot of belief in themselves right now. Nashville looked the same way, but they really took it to the sharks tonight.

Minnesota is really struggling too, but I think they have enough of a cushion that they will pull it together. That Central is going to be tight down the stretch in those 3-5 spots unless someone really streaks.

I expected a little more competition this year to be honest. The East is only playing for seeding at this point and it's getting close to a 9 team race in the west.

Tomorrow is the Kings game in hand vs Vancouver. A win and we are 7 up on them, that is a lot to make up.

The Kings have 9 games left vs Seattle, Chicago and San Jose. I think we will be starting at home in round 1.

Vancouver i had written off a long time ago, but this looks like a horse race where suddenly a horse makes a move in the final stretch. If they do make it in, it will not be by much... just raising a little awareness to Van and our old Manchester coach since I didnt hear anyone mention them in their list of teams we may have to contend with.
