Has the switch finally been hit?

Toffoli's 1st hat trick leads Kings over Flames 5-3

Based on yesterday's game, can this team finally hit that magical switch that every one talks about? Are they playoff bound or is it too late?

I don't want to say they have flipped a switch. I just think they don't play well unless they have to. It bugs me

Way to early to tell, you can always look back after the season and say this was a defining moment or the switch moment, but it's hard to say when in the moment. Also don't want to jinx it, want them to keep pressing and playing hard.

Yesterday they were below 40% to make the playoffs, today they are 48.7%

Plus we play Vancouver 3 times, Winnipeg & Calgary once more.

I agree.

Dumbo addressed "The Switch" last week in Teh Blog:

This whole ‘flick switch’ thing is the kiss of death if you look at history. The only difference now is you’re in February, right, but in reality you’re seeing the same things.”

Whatever?s hexing the Kings can?t be fixed by a switch ? LA Kings Insider

The switch flip only favors you a few times, at some point the Gods go against you. I have a feeling this would be that season so the Kings just need to STFU and play some good hockey like they have been.

Kings have 3 games in hand on the Sharks. Makes Saturday's game semi important

 

[CaptHowdy00]

We are now at 6.

 

[smackdown380]

I think the Saturday game now sets up to be huge.

 

[CaptHowdy00]

And that is 7 in a row.

 

[CaptHowdy00]

We now have 8 and counting.

Switch is off. Needs grease.

 

[Kings4OT]

Short circuit, I think they can fix it but it is frustratin to watch some days

 

[CaptHowdy00]

Almrghty then. Let's start the process again.
