Will the L.A. Kings make the playoffs?

[RenoChazz]

I'm having my doubts as they are out as of now and the competion at the bottum is pretty stiff. But they do seem to play their best hockey after the trade dead line. I think they squeak in.

Kings playing better sharks struggling. I say yes they will

What a finish it should be in the west. They play 8 of their last 11 on the road and finish the season at Calgary and home against San Jose. I say yes but without adding to their blueline before the deadline you can be certain they don’t go far in the playoffs against the likes of St Louis, Nashville, or Chicago.

On a personal note I’d be happy if they don’t while holding a live ticket on Calgary at 500/1, (albeit for only $12).

They still have 26 games to play....That`s a lot of games when your only 2 points out of a playoff spot.

Making it in is very possible, yes, but lots of road games left for them towards the end when it will count.

They all got 13-15 road games remaining.....Like i said....Only 2 points out of a spot with 26 games left....8-10 points out a spot i would panic...Only 2 points...Not a big deal at this point...LOL

I Think the top 8 teams today will be the 8 western teams to make the playoffs

Nashville
St Louis
Chicago
Anaheim
Vancouver
Calgary
San Jose
Winnipeg

Kings looked great last night

 

[RenoChazz]

Looks like the outdoor game against the Sharks, could be the first outdoor game with a playoff feel to it.

Kings did waive Mike Richards to clear space so I'm thinking they make a trade before the deadline. I'm thinking Dion Phaneuf.

Tough one tonight in colorado. I wanted to fire on the kings but the line moved to -145 @bovada and i do think this is a tough test tonight

 

[powerz]

I think Vancouver and San Jose miss.

Vcr plays 15 games in the next 28 days and in 14 of the games they travel the day before.
Already beat up on the blue line, that schedule might make a for a few more injuries.

I hope they make it but the cards are stacked against them

San Jose is to weak on the back end to close out the schedule strong.

LA is starting to peak

Kings roll again ! Shouldnt have doubted em

 

[Greenbacks]

Kings are in the 8th spot with 25 games to be played....6 game winning streak.

I can`t believe this thread was started....LMAO.

50 points on the table and you guys are crying about the defending champs being 2 points out a playoff spot with 25 games to be played.

 

[Greenbacks]

Kings roll again ! Shouldnt have doubted em

I can see someone doubting being 10 points out of a spot with 15 games to be played.

But doubting only 2 points out with 25 to be played....LMAO....Seriously.

I don`t care what you guys say...Hate me....LMAO.

 

[RenoChazz]

Going 7-1 after the all star break has been a a huge help. I'm a huge Kings fan so I got the blinders on, just wanted to see how other hockey guys saw this. Betting against the Sharks tonight too!

I was just talking about the game in colorado. Kings will definitly make the playoffs

 

[Lippman]

Kings will make it, not a problem.

 

[cloverleaf]

Yes, they will make the playoffs and I wouldn't count them out for a finals appearance.

Even with their problems this season (especially on road 8-18) their still a top 10 defense (9th).

I don't discount their size and toughness when the playoffs start. Quick ain't bad in big games.
