anyone think the kings have a shot making the finals and perhaps winning?

The Blues & Preds will be a challenge to beat.

Richards and Carter will have to join Dustin Brown on the scoresheet.. Kopitar would have to pick it up a bit. I think the Kings can hang with anyone defensively, but they'd need to put more pucks in the net to beat the Blues- which is possible, as I think Schneider is better than Halak or Elliott

we see after round 1 is finish

I agree with this. I don't think LA has a chance whatsoever but they are coming up.

[wickabee]

In a word, no. The Kings are a good team, no doubt, but there's a lot of arrogance and "me first" attitudes on that team. Guys like Doughty, Carter and Richards have been what this team is now built on, but they will also be the demise of the Kings.

[The-Joker]

Not in my opinion. From what I've seen so far, I think the Preds are going to the finals. Still unsure about who will meet them there.

[Ducks_Fan]

Definitely not a long shot when you have Quick and the NHL on your side.

I'm telling you the NHL wants either a Rangers-Kings final or Rangers-Coyotes final

[dam1057]

Yes, but only if their offense really steps it up.

im actually interested to see a flyers kings match up. but personally philly wont make it past the second if there defense and goaltending keeps playing the same way
