I disagree. I see a young team who is finally learning how to win as a team. I truly believe that losing to the Canucks in last year's playoffs helped this team move forward. If they add a top 5 winger to help out Kopitar, I believe they will be very strong Cup Contenders. We need more offense consistantly though.

Hell no they won't! To Colorado? Are you expecting a let down game or something?

How are the Kings on fire? They won last night at home, sure, but beat the Ducks without Getzlaf and lost back to back games before that, getting shut out at the Islanders and losing at the Rangers. They won in a shootout at Columbus the game before that.
Im not sure I would call that "on fire." All of these are teams they are supposed to beat, and they didnt.

Yeah I don't know about them being on fire. I like them though, I hope they make the playoffs. They have a tough schedule for the beginning of March we'll see.

Don't expect the Kings to let up any time soon. Big deadline deal in the works as well.

LAK surely more of a disappointment than a success to this point. The worst part about them is that with their lineup and expectations it's easy to back them against mediocre teams and be burned. I would reasonably put them in the bottom third of teams to comfortably back right now.

Can't wait to back them in their next game vs Red Wings.

15 out of 20 points on a crazy long road trip is pretty hot IMO. Then they go and beat 2 teams that were ahead of them in a tough Western conference. Dude what do you consider a hot team?

What deal are you hearing? I know they waived Sturm today so hopefully that means a big trade coming soon.
