I bet Avalanche fans are feeling even worse right now because they have to play the Sharks next
San Jose clinched a playoff spot yesterday (although it's been a foregone conclusion for a while), so I'm hoping they're off their game tonight against the recently eliminated Stars. Kings are only two points back of San Jose for second place in the Pacific and were lights out against Colorado last night.
Last night had to be brutal for St. Louis fans.
We're now officially down to four teams for three playoff spots:
Kings -- 96 points and 42 ROW (2 games left)
Anaheim -- 95 points and 37 ROW (3 games left)
Colorado -- 93 points and 40 ROW (2 games left)
St. Louis -- 92 points and 40 ROW (3 games left)
I hate that Anaheim always seems to have a game in hand on the Kings!
No games on tonight's schedule that impact these teams fighting for the remaining playoff spots. Huge games for St. Louis and Anaheim tomorrow. Hopefully Minnesota will go Wild in Anaheim.
The east looks like the same 3 teams for 4 spots situation, but Florida looks to be on life support.
End of an era. I seriously doubt there'll never be a brother duo like these two ever again in my lifetime.
Wow...I didn't realize it had been
18 seasons! One of the lasting memories of the Kings 2012 Cup run is Dustin Brown clocking Henrik right in front of the Vancouver bench.
I wonder, if one of them is elected to the HHOF and the other isn't, if the one elected will refuse to show up for the ceremony....
That is the benefit that the west coast sport fans have over us. They can see all the games.
Every time I travel to the east coast I wonder how y'all handle it. World Series and MNF games starting at 8pm and frequently not ending until after midnight. I turned off the Dodger game last night around 10:15 (after the Dodgers choked away a 3 run lead in the bottom of the 9th) and woke up this morning to see that the game went 15 innings! Some folks on the east coast might have been waking up while that game was still going. Every once in a while, my wife renews her "I wish we lived back east" mantra. I typically squelch that by reminding her that she can watch all the Celtics games by buying the NBA package (which she's done for the past half dozen years or so), but I'd almost never be able to watch Kings or Dodgers games because they wouldn't even start until 10:30 eastern time.
