Kings 5, The 4th Best team in the NHL 4
Give me back that thing!
Give me back that thing!
Let's give you a little sense of what the Kings did last night. According to the Caps Insider, the loss was just the fifth loss and only the fourth time this season the Caps have failed to record a point at Verizon Center. I'd say that's pretty impressive for a young team on a big road trip.
Alexander Frolov was great tonight. He played the exact kind of game us fans have been hoping he'd play for the last few years. Quick and dominant. Maybe he just gets motivated playing against other Russians.
Jon Quick might just be the real deal. Although this game was all over the place, he was steady in net and maybe it was just because I was listening to the game on wireless headphones, but when ever he would make a save, you would hear a loud boom. That means he is in the perfect position when making a save, the puck is hitting his pads exactly. With the trading deadline coming up, is it even conceivable that the Kings could trade one of their young goaltenders for a top 6 player?
The Kings are now 4 points out of a playoff spot. And each night, it seems that only those 8 teams fighting for the 8th spot are playing each other. The Kings face an even tougher team on Saturday, the New Jersey Devils, a team that schooled the Kings at home a few weeks ago. Over at Japers Rink, they said that the Capitals don't show up against "non-playoff" teams. I hope the Devils underestimate the Kings the same way.
