both the Kings and Ducks have underachieved by fairly large margins this year. neither fan base has anything to gloat about. the difference lies in the expectations for these teams. the kings aren't viewed as true cup contenders anymore and are eventually going to have to start some version of a rebuild. the ducks appear to still be in a couple year window to win the Stanley Cup but haven't been able to get over the hump with their current core. Frankly, I'm shocked at how poorly the ducks are playing now that they have a relatively healthy lineup (Gibson appears close) and it's hard not to begin to wonder whether the deep runs they've gone on each of the last handful of years have taken their toll. happened big time to the kings after 2 cups and a conference finals in a 3 year period. it's understandable if that is the case. but ducks are built to win it now and for the kings this is essentially house money. that's the difference. should be an interesting finish for both teams.

I thought the kings we're having a really strong start to the season. Mostly stevens presence as coach looked like it revived your team. I mean I can't say for sure because I can only take about 5 minutes of Jim fox before I have to change the channel. But the half a hour I watched so far this season looked at lot better than watching Darrel Sutter coaching the team.

Haven't posted on here for a little due to massive amounts of drinking and forgetting my password. The heavy drinking was due to yelling at my TV during the Ottawa, Montreal and Toronto games. However, this team has proven that they can be dominate at home, so let's see them take advantage. Need to put those bad games behind them and make this final push.

Sounds like someone is still butthurt over the pummeling they received last year. Who could forget how you scurried out of here last year with your tail in-between your legs after I told you off? It's like you've spent the past year sharpening your claws, and now that your beloved Kings are sucking, you channel your life's failures at me.

Just cause you having coping mechanisms in league with an alcoholic, doesn't mean I'm going to put up with it. Unlike the Kings board, we keep things constructive here. It's not about compensating for our shortcomings, by inflating our ego. That's what the Kings board is for. A fitting culture for the land of smoke and mirrors?

You're not welcome here Woody.

You are literally everything you call Kings fans, it's hilarious. And from reading your posts, I HIGHLY doubt you did anything or said anything that would make Kings fans leave anywhere with their tails between their legs. Every fan base has that fan, and you kid, are that fan.

No need to get ugly with me. Ya know, a few weeks ago I suggested you look in the mirror, as I thought it would remind you of your team. And now you've returned for the first time. You seem very angry, and you're huffing and puffing about who knows what. This is not the kind of personality you want to take out dinner. You wouldn't know, but some people ... you get in a booth with them and you start with, "This is nice." And they end with, "And that's why nothing has ever gone right in my entire life and I hate myself!"

I'm sure life is different in your LA mirage, but we're on the internet, and this is HockeyBuzz, and there are standards here.

Read what you just wrote man. You've literally just described yourself...flawlessly too I might add. You're consumed by anger my friend, and I wish you nothing but the best in whatever future treatment and recovery program you decide to enroll in. God knows you'll need it. I've been fortunate enough to discover most ducks fans aren't anything even remotely like you and are pretty laid back and pleasant. it's hockeybuzz after all. take a deep breath Memo, calm the body and mind. now exhale. isn't that better?

the Kings did indeed have a great start to the season. but that's all it was, a start. Stevens system is a helluva lot more entertaining to watch than Daryl's, no doubt. but at the end of the day this is a team that is, at best, capable of winning a round or two in the playoffs. which is far better than I would have expected at the outset of the season, so I'll happily take that. but both the Kings and ducks at this point look to be coin flips to qualify for the playoffs. should be a crazy finish.

I "think" the NHL did a remaining schedule comparison for every team a couple of weeks ago. The Ducks had one of the more favorable schedules in the Pacific.

That being said, this team is just too inconsistent imo. Our vaunted "D" is anything but. We've gone from top 5 penalty kill to middle of the road. These two home games are just about must win, since after this mini home stand, 5 of the following 7 games are on the road. We'll know come March 1 if the playoffs are realistic.

agree, I took a look at the remainder of ducks schedule and based on that alone I would give them a better chance at making the playoffs than the kings. obviously I hope I'm wrong on this one but the ducks schedule does appear to provide an easier path. the current point projection for the final playoff spot in the west is supposedly 98 points. which shows just how insane the west truly is. a few very good teams will end up missing the playoffs that would make it in any other year.

If you think pointing the finger from your high horse makes you right; you're wrong. Unlike most, I can see through your facade of being "chill", posing the veil that you're and the life of the party; when the truth of the matter is you're actually a narcissist that runs when the going gets tough. Hence your extended hiatus after I put you in your place last year. You see, I see you for what you are, and I know you're a problem, as your actions last year exemplified. While the weak and naive might be captivated by your rubbish, I won't. Moreover, you act like HockeyBuzz is "all chill", only when it suits you. When in actuality you'll stoop as low as it gets in an attempt to get one over on someone. And that's the problem with people with inferiority complexes. They act like they have it all together until they see me, and then they start making comparisons. I've been down this road many times. It's not my fault you suck at life.

The Ducks still have a 1/3 of a season left to play, and that's a lot of hockey. If you don't believe me, just look at Los Angeles. Not so long ago every Kings fan on HockeyBuzz was stopping by to gloat, and then what happened? The second 1/3 of the season happened. So it's not over until it's over.

The Oilers are in town tomorrow, and that means Maroon is back to face his old team right before he gets traded. Yes, Maroon is in a contract year, but since Edmonton is way out of the playoff picture they're going to be sellers. It’s the way things go. Fortunately for Maroon, he made lemonade playing alongside McDavid, and will be seeing a raise, so good for him. Maybe 5 years in the fours. Dude earned it. He really got his act together in Edmonton, so his agent will have a lot of bargaining power to work with.

Speaking of McDavid, I’m not 100% sure, but I think Kesler was fighting his injury during the Ducks/Oilers playoff series, so that will be a matchup to watch out for. It’s probably been a year since McDavid has faced a healthy Kesler, so that sucks for him. Is he still being sheltered from taking faceoffs?

If there is one area where the Ducks can really hurt Edmonton, it’s on on the power play. Anaheim’s PP has been picking it up as of late, so getting that group some opportunities to get results is important. I don’t want to say it, but Paul MacLean really had the power play going. All the talent of the former #1 PP the league is still here. No excuses, make them pay.

No kings fan gloated. Infact you were the one saying ducks were far superior even though the ducks record showed otherwise and the kings had a phenomenal start to the season. It always dies down in January/February. But yet your ducks are still mediocre at best with basically your entire team back. Kings are still missing Carter which I think most of you fail to realize. One guy the other day stated the Ducks were most likely a playoff team while he thought the kings were most likely not. I wanted to laugh in his face but I know there are far too many games left to decide where teams fall. But what I do know is the ducks have been on the outside looking in for basically the whole season. Kings have been in that situation before and I’ll tell you it’s hard to come back when teams keep winning and your team has played more games than 99% of the league.

We get it you hate the kings but you constantly make delusional posts about poop that didn’t happen

No. There's no reasoning with a brick in the wall pleb from Los Angeles whom can't accept seeing someone who's exceptional from Orange County. It's part of that whole snobbiness you see by ugly betas everywhere in Los Angeles. Normally someone of your caliber, isn't on my radar, but I'll have a gander at it.
