Last night with a shootout win over the Coyotes, the Los Angeles Kings clinched a playoff berth.
Woooo! Let's do a little dance:
Playoffs, baby.
This is not unlike my own sick victory dance moves.
With Kopitar and Williams out, the youngin's, specifically Kyle Clifford had to step up, and they did. Clifford scored a HUGE second period game-tying goal that ultimately led to the game-winning shootout. I wouldn't call behbeh Kyle a suitable replacement for Kopi or Willy, but he'll do in a pinch.
There's no way this team goes all the way without Kopi. I adore the Kings fans I follow on Twitter. I love reading their blogs and I love their passion for the game. However, some of them need to see the light and realize that while Kopi isn't the ENTIRE team, the team will never, ever be as good without him as they are with him. Most of them have, but some still cling to 2011 Cup dreams.
I see this playoff berth as an opportunity for the Kings to see players like Clifford in big-game situations. Otherwise, I'm not holding my breath for huge things for the Kings. :(
Because I've been lax, I'm sure you've all missed your daily (ok, weekly...or bi-monthly) love for Matt Greene. Please enjoy that he has been named by his teammates as having the worst car and being the worst dressed. The truth is, he dresses that way and drives that car to make his teammates feel better about themselves when they're around him. He's got to do SOMETHING to ease their stress that he's so much more bad-ass than they are.
Let's Go Kings!
