I think I worded that wrong. The Kings defense is 4th best in the league, only allowing an average of 2.18 goals per game. The offense seriously needs to shape up.

Go Kings.

If the wings can shake off these past two games and get back to playing like they were the last few weeks, they're going to be a very dangerous club down the road.

I havent been following the kings, but the oilers should be doing so much better. I'm actually disappointed, I was hoping to have a #3 team to root for. I love their roster, but just watching a little bit of their games and some highlights, its obvious they aren't playing smart hockey. They're failing at the basic things like positioning, penalties, controlling the puck (especially in their own zone). No way they can get far if they don't change something. Soon. In a few years when the oilers have some experience behind them, they are going to be one of the most dangerous teams in the league.

The majority of the Kings losses are by 1 goal. It's so frustrating. Jonathan Quick has been absolutely sensational. I've got to be happy though, our offense is utter rubbish and we're 3 points out of the Division lead...

Yeah, I was looking at their stats after I posted that and was thinking WTF? They're doing pretty good, and a GAA of only about 2. Not too bad. Haha, got it now. But with the offense you've got, it sucks they're not doing better. I expected it, heck I drafted a couple of LA players to my fantasy hockey team.....
