We were right there
Sturm deserves a lot of the blame (obviously). But the Kings really don't have a natural finisher on the roster other than Kaliyev who is a 20 year old rookie. The PP is was an achilles heel to the games of both DD and AK even when they were in their 20's, and now they are on the back nine of their careers. The PP is one area where having a Jimmy or Joe who can just fire the puck past a goalie from the circle is more important than the x's and o's.
The Kings are also heavily unbalanced with left shots when it comes to skilled forwards that play the PP. A right shooting skilled forward like a Pavelski or Giroux could really help out the PP simply by giving Kopitar that cross-ice one-time option from his stationary spot on the right half wall.
For all the time they have had Frk and Kaliyev they have avoided this as much as they humanly can
Funny enough the one game they kept Frk there kept everyone honest and the PP was humming
