did you miss last season?
No, I was just as perplexed then as I am now.

How do they "suck" right now? They just dominated that game and lost because Howard stood on his head and Quick let in two soft goals. That was the difference.
Uh I'm not sure about you but as defending Stanley Cup champions I DEFINITELY have an issue with missing the playoffs; shortened season or not.
Well it is a quality draft and a short season. That's all the positives of our play during this season I can think of
Doughty is now an NHL worst -10. Bad turnovers every game and zero offense.
Didn't Carolina miss the playoffs after winning the cup?
Once again, nothing from the 2nd line. How much longer are the Kings going to pretend Mike Richards is still a 2nd line center?
Those who say "we won the Stanley Cup last year" need to quit living in the past and look to the future. The Kings suck right now. Does last year even matter? No. As a matter of fact, it makes it even worst that we won last year and probably won't even make the playoffs. Someone remind me when the last time a team won the cup and missed the playoffs the next season?
QFT.
No so soft, but just plain bad.
However, I did get to see Bernier play like absolute horse **** in the Anaheim game. I still don't understand how posters think he's better than Quick in any situation whatsoever.

We have way too many damn games left to be taking on board the idea of missing the playoffs. This team has played 3 home games! Some of you just need to calm down.

Edit. O and that time we beat Columbus in regulation
Knock it off, all of you! Your team played great and has thoroughly outplayed the Wings! The only players on DRW that were even in the same building are Howard, Datsyuk, Flip, Brunner, and Ericsson. Keep playing like this and you will go far. Nothing even remotely sucks about the Kings or their effort. In fact, it's my team that should hang their heads in shame (starting with Babcock: whattahell was he thinking playing those pylons in the last minute of the game?). Wings showed up in the last 15 seconds. Good for them. I hope the trend goes into the next game.
Carolina did that. I am not doom and gloom just yet, I suspect the Kings will squeek into the playoffs. With the way they are playing do I expect them to repeat? No. Then again, did I expect them to win last year? No. I honestly expected a 4-1 first round exit against the Canucks.
