Kings Are Tops In The West
The Kings are currently sitting at the top of the Pacific Division and, more importantly, top of the Western Conference. This is a rare feeling for me that hasn’t really set in. I can’t remember the last time I felt this feeling of bliss. That being said, I will definitely loathe the day when the Kings are no longer at the top, but for now I am happy as a clam about how the Kings are performing game in, game out.
They play tonight against the Vancouver Canucks, tomorrow veresus the Edmonton Oilers, and the Calgary Flames are up on Thursday. Any evening of games could surely alter the standings, and these next three will definitely be a big test for the Kings in all aspects of their physical and mental play since they will not face another team until after Christmas on Saturday, December 26th against the Phoenix Coyotes.
The big question for this week is, how will the Kings hold up with Ryan Smyth still out of the line up along with Wayne Simmonds?

I'm loving this too, Connie! It's a great feeling to finally have a team with some depth and, more important, HEART.
We'll end up going 1-2 on the road but I'd be thrilled with 1-1-1. After that, it's a long break and we'll have Smyth back. So we didn't lose it in December. Here's to not losing it in January!

I'd have to echo the guess on the 1-1-1 record for the next 3 games. Glad this break is coming when it does, gives Smyth and Simmonds another week to heal without games being played. I'm still not getting too excited about being tops in the West until after these 3 games. In terms of the Western Conference, Calgary, Colorado and Chicago are all right on our ass with less games played…
Correction, Colorado has played 1 more game. Chicago 3 less and Calgary 2 less.
I'm going to take the optimistic route and go with 2-0-1. They've done a great job so far, so I'm not gonna cut them down. =)
