I don't think the KINGS are as good as they were last year, there is a reason they missed the playoffs, it's not because of the last 3 games either, it's because the entire season they just weren't as good as 8 other teams in the west... Time catches up with some teams, Confidence might play a role but i would expect the kings to make some changes this summer, they can't go in to next season with Richards and that contract taking all that cap space.. there are some teams and the kings may be one of them who are tight against the cap and may have to shed significant amounts of salary just to actually be at the cap next year, Hawks are another, Bruins are one too, I believe the Flyers might be also.. Theres actually about 5 or 6 teams who are going to be in cap hell, they don't have much room to sign guys unless they dump some salary first really... This is gonna be an interesting off-season to say the least in the NHL. Penguins are another team who might have to make some changes... It's gonna be interesting for sure. Some of these teams have like 2 million in cap space and need to sign like 6 7 8 guys still for next season, The tides they are a changing a wee bit... Believe someone on here or elsewhere asked whats the likilhood that both the jets and flames get in and the kings and sharks don't... Moving forward, i'd say its more likely the Jets and Flames get in than the kings and sharks...

True North actually trademarked Whiteout in Canada... ARIZONA and whoever else, MIAMI heat for that matter can use it all they want, if someone else in Canada did it tho, They would have to pay True North.

Someone can wake up Floyd, they added another d lineman today.

Myers/Toby is pair 1 and they were when Buff was healthy and not suspended If you want to get all techincal in terms of d pairings 1 2 and 3... Buff was playing with Pardy the last few games aka pair 3 No doubt about it It's gonna be Myers/Toby Trouba/Stuart Buff/Chiarot or Pardy <-- could see one guy play one game and the other the next even but personally i think a healthy chiarot gets in over a healthy pardy. Just my opinion but.. I think it makes more sense to play Chiarot than Pardy.. If you only gonna play pardy cuz he's good at penalty killing, I don't like it.. You play your 6 best d men and imo, those are Myers/Toby, Trouba/Stuart and Buff/Chiarot The easy way to avoid having to kill penalties is you don't take any and honestly from watching playoffs in the past, you gotta almost kill a guy to get a penalty, refs aren't gonna be calling chincy penalties anymore, it's gonna have to be blatant and obvious.

Nashville has been on somewhat of a downward spiral the last 20 games or so, not looking so good recently. I think that skews the votes for Laviolette, I think the media is pushing for Hartley but... Maurice and Vignault would also be good selections too. If the sens make it, does Dave Cameron get some consideration? Or IS half a season not enough?

Amazing really... Last 3 games.. Jets took 5 of 6 points against St Louis, Minny and Colorado. Last 3 games for the Kings.. they went 1 for 6 points.. Vancouver,Edmonton,Calgary It is absolute insanity that with a win in the nothing game tomorrow, the jets could finish with 99 points and still be the 2nd wild card team. 99 friggin points and you are technically ranked 8th in the west? That's nuts. But would finish with more points than Calgary and possibly tied with Vancouver i think.

Confirmed Hellebyuck is backing up hutch.

Keep buff and Toby away from each other except on power plays and it's not like it's the first time Toby would be playing the ducks. His size is irrelevant

Stuart will play guaranteed. Pardy might not. Toby Myers TROUBA STU BUFF CHIAROT Then again if Perreault injured longer than expected Buff may go forward

You do realize Noel started the year tho right?You do realize you come off as a dink sometimes right? You should post your meaningless stats since Maurice took over..... Delete. Decided attacking the poster instead of the post is silly

Pav sitting Saturday for sure. Connor probably dressing.

Many guys will sit.

If hutch starts Saturday. Pav finishes the season at 22 16 8. 920 Save % and a 2.26 gaa. Time to admit he had a Damn good season. Hutch was good at shootouts but struggled since finally being beat in one. Shootouts are now irrelevant tho thankfully

Ducks are vulnerable tho. Iffy goaltending. A few games or 2 would get it going. They could play buffalo and I'd be jacked watching it. PLAYOFFS! !! They probably don't care who they play.

Blue job sounds ridiculous lol.

But could still face st louis

It does tho. Not in stats but technically it's back to back to back

I agree. Ducks are vulnerable

Technically back to back to back shutouts for pav

187 minutes shutout streak for pav. Back to back to back technical shutouts

Potential pr player too. Practice roster that is not public relations

It's gonna be windy lol

Be nice to call up Hellebyuck and let him play but won't happen. Guys like copp peluso Ellerby will probably play tho

You do realize that 95 percent of those games have been this year tho right. You do realize all those games buff had missed was when Maurice was coach right? You do realize he took over last season right? That's the 2013 2014 season.

I think we win and Calgary will win too
