The way the Kings are playing on the road, they might be better off finishing 3rd in the division instead of second.

Either way, it feels like Calgary and L.A. are on a collision course.

Ducks getting lit up by CHI! 6-0, start of the 2nd.

 

[Little Psycho]

At least when we lost 7-0 it was against the Bruins. Yikes Chi has just 48 pts. How far they have fallen.

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.

I never liked that aphorism.. thats more the definition of stupid. The definition of insanity is trading away 1st round picks for useless rentals or 1 year of service.

PHI just beat VGK 2-1….great night!

Dux got 3 goals in 3 min..

Sounds familiar.

 

[Little Psycho]

So many blowouts this year

 

[HookKing]

Devils beat Colorado.

 

[Sleeping Dog]

Crazy night tonight: Philly over Vegas; NJ over Avs; Yotes score 9.

Need the Preds to beat Dallas (0-1 in third).

 

[Bandit]

Coyotes hung 9 on Detroit? Sans Kessel? Weird.

 

[Sleeping Dog]

Preds tie it up with 5 mins to go. One more in regulation.

 

[SufferingSelfCreated]

And down goes Dallas.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

What a great night...and a weird ass year

 

[Herby]

8 up on the Ducks with a game in hand. Another team that is very likely to be selling at the deadline.

That would leave the Kings with 14 games remaining against teams that have little or no chance at making the playoffs, with 8 of those being home games.

The Kings only have 8 games remaining against teams currently in the playoffs (4 at home, 4 on the road)

Edit: Washington scores 2 quick goals to go up on Calgary. If that were to hold it's a 4 point deficit with them having 2 games in hand. Would be the perfect night.

God all the results are going our way that it's making me even more nervous

And a perfect scoreboard night it is for the Kings. GKG!

 

[kilowatt]

NHL should ditch this stupid divisional seeding and wildcard format and bring back conference seeding. Give the top team in each conference the first and second seeds and let the rest of the teams in the conference fight for the next six spots.

We're not far from third in the conference

 

[ru4reals]

Dux got 3 goals in 3 min..

Weak try to beat 3 in .46 seconds.

 

[AbsentMojo]

Weak try to beat 3 in .46 seconds.

lol, yes that was bad - but we won! the ducks got roasted after all 8-3 .. feathers everywhere at the united center

 

[bouncesonly]

40 goals for the away team, and 45 goals for the home team tonight.

Last time there were 11 games in one night was Feb 1, and those games totaled:
30 goals for the away team, and 36 goals for the home team.

30% more scoring tonight.

 

[AbsentMojo]

Tom Wilson moving up the career douche bag ranks - never will catch Matt Cooke tho and that reminds me of this

Kings have one of the easiest remaining schedules. Problem is so do Calgary and Vegas.

On the other hand Edmonton has one of the most difficult schedules in the league from here on out. Further implosion incoming.

Anaheim, Nashville and Minnesota all have relatively tough schedules as well.
