What a wild weekend. There was a chance that all 5 Pacific Division teams would make it into the Playoffs. It was up to Dallas to win against the Wild, but it didn't happen. The reigning Cup champs got a break and just made it in, and get to face Vancouver for their troubles. Either way, it was clear that the Kings were going to play San Jose.
I don't like their momentum going in. They dropped back-to-back games to the Ducks. Which would have meant 4th or 5th place. That would have meant home ice advantage and a lower seeded opponent. But, that is history.
The news is that Williams has been cleared to play, coming back early from an injured shoulder. He could be in game #1. That would be huge for the Kings. Parse is also close to a return. All I know is that there's not going to be any Kopitar return this year.
All I know is that any playoff run begins and ends with Quick. Let's do this!
