Ha, LOVE the picture.

5 points behind the Blackhawks. Zoinks.

The growing distance between the Kings and the bottom playoff spots astounds and delights. Seems like just a couple of weeks ago that the conventional wisdom was that the Kings would be in a dogfight all the way to the end just to get into the playoffs.

Of course, it may become a dogfight again before it all plays again, but right now all the trend lines are favorable.

I’m comfortable with where the Kings are right now, projected to open at home against Phoenix. I’m not sure that any of the current lower seeds would be easier first-round opponents.

Way to hang in there after blowing the lead tonight. Good on Terry Murray for letting the team’s fighting spirit come through and not setting off panic with a timeout.

that was one hell of a hockey game.

Also, that photo of Parros getting his shit ruined is currently my desktop background.

Just a much easier way to view the standings in terms of the whole season and the hill yet to climb.

I did not see the 3d period last night. The pub in my podunk town closes at 9. I think the owner is cooking meth, so he has no stomache for cooking food. What an asshat. In any case I was stoked to see the Kings so confidant and really moving the puck with ease and not pressing. As long as our difference makers continue this they will beat dehtwah tomorrow.

Good lord I am glad this Kovalchuk blardyblar is over. He is a great player, but why screw with this chemistry. Kopitar is our man. He may not be an elite sniper but he does many things well including shrugging of some of the best defensemen in the league when he is going well, and playing very responsible defense. And no way I would want to see DL deal any of the young support players who are jiving like chocolate and peanut butter. I think this team has a great shot at getting deep in the playoffs and I’ve watched them beat some very good teams already this season. Streak record or not, this teams achievements are unprecedented in Kingdom. Period. Dot.

I always liked Parros, and I wish the Kings had kept him instead.

Parros has always seemed like a smart and amusing guy. Plus, before the ’stache, he kind of looked like Bruce Campbell.

Simmonds, Moller, Schenn, Loktionov, Voynov, Bernier, Hickey, Teubert, Clifford, Richardson, Parse, Johnson, Brown, Williams, Frolov, Stoll and Handzus are STILL KINGS.

All is right with the world. Ahhh.
