The NHL is unpredictable.
I could see a scenario where the Kings are very good. But I could also see a scenario where it all falls apart.
I suspect they'll probably land somewhere in the middle.
Wow Nostradamus like.
Please don't hedge your positions.
My theory:
Headed into last season the Kings had been playing Todd's system for years. I think this gave them an advantage early in the season.
Under the current CBA coaches don't get as much practice time with the team as they used to. So if your team comes out of the gate locked into a system they're familiar with, you might have a leg up.
As the year goes on that advantage starts to fade as other teams get dialed in.
Take last years Oilers for example. They decided to change the system in the offseason. They were a disaster early in the season but figured it out as the year went on.
I wouldn't expect last seasons early success to be replicable. No idea what Hiller is going to do.
I think the Kopitar line falls off a cliff without QB. That's going to be a problem IMO.
OK you regained form quickly.
Very good theory.
If it spirals the Kings could be lost in space.
It's almost a forced transition year for Commander Robert Bowlby Blake.
He may be at the agency shrink trying to get over his young player phobias and the paranoia of having his career simultaneously on the line for this mission
I still want to see Jeannot space suited up with Kopi and Kempe.
Calling Kopitar out as downtrodden has been a disrespectrul multiple season and multiple times a season aborted launch.
But a broken countdown timer is eventually correct for a minute.
I don't think he is at his best in the playoff booster drop orbit but he digs in and continues on a reasonable trajectory.
Former KASA Mission Chief TMAC gave him way too big of a payload with way too many minutes and shifts, unwilling to risk falling out of the playoffs as
it's the yearly moon mission.
The Cup is still a planet away and way and we don't have the rockets and defensive shell to get there.
I still don't wanna start gaze a Columbus.
Anything can happen in this Space Shuttle of a season as you so uneloquently launch padded it.
I will tune out a bit if it does, the space cadets here would be moon walking on a happy bender here, talking over ground control.
I would shift my telescope to another galaxy far far away.
Yes as I said repeatedly, the best Kings team would have QB and K Fi click so well they become the number one line cosmonauts.
Maybe even add Kempe up top with them in the cockpit.
Kopitar and whoever L2 and Dault and leftover pieces L3, riding in the aft.
Still need the meteorite deflecting outer shell of a L4 that is good defensively, good defenseman and goaltending.
This likely would take more than a season, Houston we may have a problem.
A lot of predictions have the Kings falling out of playoffs like an earthbound meteorite flaming out in the upper atmosphere.
The cosmos will have to align with some chemistry, young player growth and veteran resurgence, especially in the net!
Ouch my finger is cramping , again, he said looking out at the peanNUT galleria, which I know now like a memorized map of the orbiting plaNUTS featuring
the smoke coming out of their diatribe spitting volcanoes.
