Breaking Down the First 50 Games

[ouendan1]

I mentioned in an earlier thread that I'll break down some Kings stats. We'll start by showing the Kings record in 10 game increments.

First 10 Games: 6-2-2
Games 11-20: 5-3-2
Games 21-30: 4-5-1
Games 31-40: 4-2-4
Games 41-50: 2-5-3

Notice that besides the first ten games, this team has not been above a .500 win percentage.

Road Records by Team (I'm going strictly off of # of points, not point % because some teams have played more road games)

30th: Buffalo 5-20-1
29th: Los Angeles 5-11-6
28th: Edmonton 5-13-7

What do Buffalo & Edmonton have in common? They are fighting for the #1 overall pick.

LA is currently tied for 10th in the west in points with Minnesota and Dallas. 1 point behind Colorado for 9th and 5 points behind Calgary for the 8th and final spot. BUT taking tiebreakers into account, LA is 12th out of 14 teams.

I'm going to end my post here because my computer is starting to freeze again. You get the picture. This team is going down, not up.

Shows a pretty bad regression. Every game I watch they look more and more like a beaten team.

They really need to get their heads out of their butts. I understand that that the players are tired from all the games that they have played in the last 3 seasons.
But come on, the game in Washington was lackluster at best. They are out of position, taking stupid penalties and horrible line changes. These are not the actions of people who are tired, these are actions of players that have either given up or are just collecting a paycheck.
I love the Kings and will love them when most of these players retire. Players come and go but the name remains the same. There is only one player that I have ever had loyalty to that I have for the Kings and that was Luc.
OK so I went of on a tangent there, sorry. What I am trying to say is this. If you can't play better, than make room for someone who can. "We are tired" is an excuse. Play through the tiredness and show some pride.
