We should be freaking psyched about last night’s results, shouldn’t we? The Los Angeles Kings encountered a vastly weaker Calgary Flames team than they’re used to and acted like it, handing their rivals (?) a 3-0 win and knocking the Flames out of the playoff picture. With Colorado’s loss in Las Vegas, things look rosier than they did 24 hours ago, with the Kings able to rest for a couple days and watch their three biggest competitors each play meaningful games. And yet... something was missing from that one, right?
Maybe it was the opponent after all.
