I'm sure I'm in the minority, but I'm digging the Kings unis.

If the white and grey areas were reversed, they might look much better. as it stands, white uniforms on white ice?

That might look better.

Actually wouldn't have minded seeing their classic all purple unis.

They really shouldn't have gotten rid of the purple again. they could have at least had some purple accents worked into these newer sets.

This game is (frank)ing boring.

I definitely think the NHL should push the "classic" aspect of these games. So i agree.

I'm getting pretty worried now. We're only 6 points up and now have 2 games in hand. That's not good. On top of that, our goalie is hot and our team seems to really play hard most nights. We're not the pushover that we were earlier in the season. On top of that, we face everyone's backups.

Then, you have to factor in the Oilers schedule. They are absolutely awful as well and have a very tough schedule ahead. I am not sure when they will win again.

You factor all this together, it doesn't look good at all. Sure, we will lose some, but, unfortunately, this team isn't mailing it in like many of the other terrible teams right now.

Also, Arizona is TERRIBLE as well. Yeah, we have a couple more point lead on them, but they are another team that is going to be doing a lot of losing. I am not sure when they will win again either. Luckily, Toronto got some separation on us earlier in the season or they would be terrifying as well. Their win helped tonight. If they can find 5 more wins the rest of the way, we should be good with them.

Edmonton and Arizona are going to be major problems. As bad as we have been at times, they might be worse right now and have schedules that I just can't see them picking up too many points with in the near future. Everyone that has been saying we have this locked up is just not paying attention. This is going to get tighter really fast. Honestly, even with the lead and as bad as we have been at times, I am liking our chances less and less each day. Gonna get scary.

Arizona isnt a problem they are 9 points ahead of us, the only real threat is the Oilers. It will come down to the wire.

I'd like to think that........

But just look at what happened with the Oil...... we were 8 points up with the same amount of games played and now are only 6 points up with 2 games in hand. We get 3 points in those 2 games and all of a sudden, the lead is pretty much gone.

But yes.....AZ is a little further away at this point. But I think they need to win at lease 7 more times this season to be far enough away from us and, if you look at their schedule, where are their wins coming from? God forbid we beat them twice next month....that happens, a 9 point lead becomes 5.....not to mention that gains up on the Oil at the same time.

These 3 teams are probably going to finish in the bottom 3. If we had bad goaltending, I wouldn't be worried, but, for whatever reason, our goaltending is stealing points we don't deserve. Has been all season......

Everything you're saying makes sense, but statistically, the Sabres just can't hang. The points they get are pure coincidence and nothing else. They get brutally outshot out possessed every game badly. Nuevirth isn't good enough to hang around game after game like Miller or even Enroth was. Don't sweat it.

This team will look a bit different a week from Tuesday with some of the UFA's dealt and who knows who else. If Neuvirth is traded it could be smooth sailing along with Stewart, Torrey Mitchell on the PK. Not sure who else could be wanted.
