| I'm still on the Kings; they're a team that scores, possesses the puck and defends well. Just waiting on Jonathan Quick. | ||

| The Kings are seventh in the league in goals against average despite being 18th in the league in team save percentage. That means they aren't giving up many shots because they always have the puck. That wins. | ||

| The Kings have put that slow start behind them and have worked their way up into that 4/5 race in the West. But don't think for a second they aren't still as dangerous as it gets, they are the best possession team in the sport, the results should catch up. | ||

| It looked like the Kings were once again going to dominate a game and lose but they pulled out a 3-2 win over Dallas on Sunday. They outshot the Stars 40-15. Have no doubts, this team is still very dangerous. | ||

| The Kings just played 13 of 16 games at home and did just what they needed to do, going 10-3 in those games. It could have been better if the offense hadn't disappeared for the final two games. | ||

| They have slowed down a little, but don't let that fool you: the Kings are still elite. But they can probably kiss the division title goodbye. Not that it hurt them last season. | ||

| You knew it would come around for the Kings. Boy, has it come around. That's wins in 8 of 10 and the offense is flying. | ||

| Yes, I know the Kings are behind a lot of teams in the standings but these are Power Rankings, not the standings. The Kings lost last time out in Vancouver but they've still won five of six. They're starting to roll now and will only go up. | ||

| There they are, the Kings have finally arrived to the 2013 season. That's three wins in a row and wins in five of the last six. The last three wins are by a combined 10-3. Now they're just one point out of playoff position. | ||
| 02/18/2013 | 23 | 23 |
| We keep stressing patience with the Kings but it's getting high time to get worried. They're four points back of the playoffs, 11 back in the Pacific. The defense is beat up and it shows. | ||

| They get this spot by virtue of being the champs, but it's hardly by default. We all saw what they're capable of last postseason, and they're essentially the same exact team. Also, forget the idea of a Stanley Cup hangover thanks to the lockout. | ||
