I want the Stanley Cup, obviously. But, there is certainly a silver lining here for me regardless of the distance we go in the playoffs. Making the playoffs in today's NHL is no easy task. I feel this team took a step forward this year, so regardless of the outcome this year has been a success in my opinion, without question. My only hope is we can continue building as we go forward and not be a one-and-done team. Chevy and Chipman have said since day 1 that they do not want to be a one-and-done team, in the playoffs one year, out the next. But in today's NHL it's so competitive and tough, so we will see. But, as for today, I feel the year was a success and regardless of what we do this postseason, I am happy.
But, let's take into consideration here that even when the LA Kings first made the playoffs after their rebuilding phase, year 1 (2009-10 losing 4-2 to Vancouver) and year 2 (2010-11 losing 4-2 to SJ), both years they were out in round 1.
