The Kings have been official eliminated from the playoffs. It happened last night with a loss in Phoenix. Strange thing is that the Kings were nibbling around the playoffs all year yet still have a shot at a top 5 pick. How do you do that?
Winter turns to Spring
Well, the Kings aren’t mathematically eliminated but they are all but eliminated. At least they weren’t out of it in December this year. Wait ’til next year!
I’m still enjoying the games and will be sad come April 11th.
Kings Lose…
They didn’t look too good tonight but the Canucks are a hard team to play. It is still a long shot but at least the game on Monday will be meaningful.
Tonight, Colin went with me to the convalescence hospital where my dad is a resident. He went into the hospital about a month ago and is not doing well. Colin did lick the face of a 106 year old woman. It made her happy. Nothing makes my dad happy nowadays. Too sad.
Still Playing Meaniful Games
Somehow, the Kings are into March and playing meaningful games. 4 points out of a playoff spot. I’m not sure they will make it but it is sure fun to watch.
Go Kings Go
PBJ
For some reason, on letsgokings.com, when the Kings win 4 in a row, it is peanut butter and jelly time. Kings beat the Isles for the fourth and try for five tomorrow agains the Flames. Nice. This is becoming a good season to watch.
Kings Win
For only the fourth time this year, the Capitals lost at home to the Kings, 5-4. This puts the Kings 3 points out of the final playoff spot in the Western Conference. This is the first time in 3 years that the Kings at 21-20-7 have a winning record in February. Wow!
To make my day complete, the Ducks lost, still have 55 points, are only 8 points ahead of the Kings and the Kings have 5 games in hand.
Go Kings Go
Kings are hanging around for a playoff spot, just 4 to 6 points out. Now, they need to make a run and can start with back-to-back wins against the Ducks.
GO KINGS GO!!
Kings
How about that? The Kings are sticking around for the playoff race and current cling lightly to the 8th and final place with 4 other teams. The Kings played an impressive game against San Jose but lost in the SO. Wins against Wild and a few other teams were good. Let’s hope for a win against the Rangers tonight.
Go Kings Go.

The Kings beat the Blackhawks and are hanging around the bottom of the playoff picture. WIth 23 points in 22 games they are just barely over .500 but that is only 1 point out of a playoff spot.
The schedule is front loaded with home games but the team played well in Edmonton (2-1 win) after getting their butts handed to them in Calgary (6-2 loss).
