Of all the teams to lose to, did it have to be the Ducks? The Kings have fallen at least 5 points out of a playoff spot by any reasonable measure. Largely, the loss to the Ducks reduced the realistic chances of the Kings making the playoffs to almost 0%. Yes, they could run the table and maybe make the playoffs but this isn’t realistic.

Bummer. After the great start, I was hoping for some playoff hockey for the Kings this year. Injuries doomed them. Especially annoying was the injuries to Frolov and Demitra during the Olympics.

Oh, well. Let’s see what the Kings can do for the rest of the year. It would be nice to go out fighting.

The Kings won last night on a PP goal by Demitra in his first game back in a couple of weeks. The win put the Kings within 2 points of a playoff spot. Tonight, they play the Ducks. The Ducks have been hot, winning 7 in a row at home. The Kings looked good last night even though they only won 1-0. Here’s hoping that the Kings score big against the Ducks tonight.

Go Kings Go!

Here’s hoping that the Kings win tonight and make the rest of the week fun. Unfortunately, I’m in class tonight (last one before graduation with my MBA) and will have to watch the game on Tivo.

Go Kings Go!

Annette and I went to the game on Saturday. The Kings managed to beat the Stars 1-0 and stay in the hunt for a playoff spot. Today, the Kings needed the Ducks to beat the Canucks, the team that the Kings are chasing for the final spot. The Ducks won. Now, the Kings need to beat the Canucks on Monday, the Ducks on Tuesday, and the Sharks, the team they are tied with for 9th on Thursday, and things look better for the playoffs. Of course, one win against either Vancouver or Edmonton last week and the Kings would be on the inside rather than the outside looking in.

The cool thing about Saturday is that I caught another tennis ball and we received an autographed Michael Cammalleri puck. The uncool thing is that with 20 entries into the group leader giveaway, we didn’t win. Oh, well, we batted .500.

Arrrrrrrrrrrrg. Two stupid loses. They Kings played with no heart. Although they have a chance, the Kings would need to run the table now. Possible but not probable. We’ll see how this plays out but it appears to be a disappointing end to this season. I still have 3 games left and I was hoping that the games would mean something.

….Edmonton tomorrow. The Kings need a win here or they might be done. In fact, two wins would be nice.

The Kings, from what I could tell from the radio and the print accounts, stunk up the ice last night. With 11 games to go, losing a game last night to a team directly above you and in the last playoff spot is unforgivable. The Kings play Edmonton and Calgary in Canada. These are must wins. Hell, all the games might be must wins. No wins, no playoffs.

Let’s Go Kings!

Everything that goes up, must come down……

The Kings are still holding on to a playoff spot but they have lost the last two games and haven’t looked good doing it. They also seem to get one player (Demitra) back and lose two others (Belanger and Conroy). I’m optimostic and have bought playoff tickets but is this a good bet? I don’t know but I hope that the Kings win.

So, the Kings recovered from their loss in Detroit with an overtime win over the Blues. While the Blues are not playing well this season, of late they were 8-2-2 prior to the game with the Kings. This was an essential win and the Kings now reside in 6th place in the Western Conference. Go Kings Go!!!

All good things must come to an end. Tonight, the Kings lost to the Red Wings for the 4 time this year. Man, that sucks. Hope we don’t meet them in the playoffs.
