The next 7 games:

Chicago
at Boston
at Washington
at Florida
at Tampa Bay
at Columbus
Calgary

So far this season, the Kings are 0-2-2 against Chicago and Calgary, with an 0-1-2 home record, with of course the two 3rd period leads that ended up OT losses to the Flames. The Kings also have a 1-5-2 road record against Eastern teams, while having given up an average of over 3 goals per game, and that's with(1-3-1) or without(0-2-1) Kopitar in the lineup.

3 points behind both Vancouver and Calgary. The Canucks have 2 games in hand. 14 possible points in the next 7 games. Make or break time.

Should I take a stab at this?

same amount of wins than regulation losses, meaning W = L, and let's call each one of them x.
one more OT/SO loss than regulation losses, meaning L +1, and now x + 1.

Let's add each : W + L + OT/SP = x + x + x + 1 = 82

3x = 81
x = 27
Points would be 27(2) + 27(0) + 28(1) = 82 points.

man at this point, the Chicago game sounds more and more like the nail in the coffin

and Chicago would want nothing more than to kill us tomorrow

if we lose.... the standings after tomorrow would look like this:

SJ 48gp 56pts
VAN 46gp 55pts
CGY 48gp 55pts
LA 48gp 52pts

ouch!
 
I would be fine with losing, if the Kings brought 60 minutes of tough, hard hockey.

It's why I was ok with losing in the early part of Terry Murray's coaching, the team played hard.
 
It's no coincidence that the Kings most recent dominant games (St. Louis/San Jose) both had 60 minute efforts. It's not rocket surgery.
 
Not gonna be pretty. Can't believe we might not make the playoffs this year wow!

Should include Winnipeg, Dallas, and Colorado at least. Minnesota too I guess.

Flames next 2 games are Minny and Edmonton
So if the Kings lose to the Hawks tonight and Calgary beats Minny tomorrow night
this is what the gap would be by FridayMorning:

CGY 49gp 57pts
LA 48gp 52pts

Losing to the Bruins on Sat coupled with a Flames beating the OIlers would be a 7 pt gap by Sat night.

The Kings have been inconsistent all year and their post game/pregame/post practice comments are getting stale
Put up or shut up time.
 
There is no pity in professional sports. The Hawks will try to run the Kings out of their own building tonight. Our boys better be ready to respond.

Since the start of 2013, the Kings and Hawks have played 7 regular season games. The Kings are 1-6. They're 0-3 at home, and getting outscored 13-6, not including empty net goals. If you do include those, it's 14-6.

If you include all games played between the two since 2013, the Kings are 6-13 against Chicago, with the only saving grace being the playoff series last year. Which didn't start out well, with a loss in Game 1, and the first 2 periods of Game 2 where the Kings weren't in the same league as Chicago.

No matter what, they can never take away that Game 7 win in Chicago though.
 
This time of the year!

Enough with the negativism.

Tonite, the Kings begin their push for a second Stanley Cup in a row.

Voynov will be back in the line-up (soon I hope), a couple of young players will come up in March or April and dazzle up this team and DL will steal another one come the trade deadline. Isn't this our regular scenario at this time of the season.

Go Kings Go!

(BTY if you like at the stats, we have the same number of losses as the BlackHawks, the problem is we suck in OT and SO - but the good news is there is no SO in the playoffs!)

Yeah, leading the league in OT/SO losses. Tied with Dallas, Toronto, and Minnesota in ROW's. Not winning much in regulation, and can't seem to win after regulation.

The Kings really are lucky the Pacific is not all that good this year, other than the Ducks. It's the only division with fewer than 2 teams with at least 60 points. It's the division with the largest gap between 1st and 2nd place, and the smallest gap between 2nd and 5th place.

The Kings still have a chance, but they have to actually start doing something.
