The Kings on a Quest
The Los Angeles Kings have thus far dominated the postseason. They are no 11-1 and are only one win from the Stanley Cup Finals. They have done it without home ice advantage (and they won't have it in the cup finals). The key to their success has been their team play. Each line has complete trust in one another, every line operates as one. If one player takes a risk his limemates see this and react accordingly. In the rare event that a blunder is made and no one is their to recoup it the Kings have the hottest goalie left in the playoffs in Jonathan Quick to bail them out. The Kings are definitely firing on all cylinders right now and look to be tough to beat. However, no team that has started the playoffs with eleven wins in twelve tries has won the Cup. In the Stanley Cup Finals, when teams often elevate their games to new levels, the Kings may be left in the dust. They are opearting at 99% efficiency which means they cannot improve much. Both the New Jersey Devils and New York Rangers play styles of hockey that can disrupt the Kings seemless flow. The Devils pressure or the Rangers trapare capable of ending a hockey season just short in La La Land.
