The first week of the NHL season is in the books. It is certainly within reason to say that the LA Kings were expecting a different outcome in their first battle against Minnesota last week. In both games against the Wild, the Kings managed to let a two-goal lead slip from their fingers in shockingly quick fashion.
It almost seems as if the Kings become complacent when gathering a lead of any kind. Which, after this week’s series, should never even cross their minds again. It’s simple, in a short season of only 56 games, there is no room for complacency this year.
