That LA game will either be the turning point or the reality

Teams play the way they practice...

You say regular season means nothing to this team but apparently the playoffs don't either because we've only been past the 2nd round once under AV's tenure.

Say that nothing changes with this team, do you honestly think we can flip the switch and win the cup?

who knows.. we are playing like the kings of last year.. playing like crap all year most players are inconsistent.. maybe we'll catch fire late.. highly unlikely but one can hope.. although i do see the kings raping us on saturday.. they are playing great hockey lately.. and we've been playing a step or two behind..

Dude, one good game away from winning the cup, did you just become a fan last night?

can you flip the switch? cup champions LA Kings

everyone loves to break things down game by game, play by play, like it really means anything. Going on a cup run is going on a cup run, that's all it is, it's getting hot at the right time. Does this mean the Blue Jackets are going to win the cup? of course not but the Canucks are not the Blue Jackets, they are in the top 10 teams in the league and if any one of those teams gets hot at the right time they have a good chance of winning the cup.

Read below and ask yourself again, do you see any comparison with the Canucks. LA proactively sought to build a SC winning team...........It's not about how you are playing but who's in your team.

In the 2011 offseason, the Kings acquired Mike Richards and prospect Rob Bordson from the Philadelphia Flyers for Wayne Simmonds, Brayden Schenn and a 2012 second round pick, by personal request, traded Ryan Smyth to the Edmonton Oilers for Colin Fraser and a 7th round pick in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft, and signed Simon Gagne from the Tampa Bay Lightning to play alongside former Philadelphia Flyer teammate Mike Richards.

The Kings started 5–1–1 to the 2011–12 NHL season, but went 8–11–3 which resulted in a 13–12–4 overall record and the firing of coach Terry Murray. Los Angeles named John Stevens interim coach for four games until on December 20, named Darryl Sutter the 24th head coach in franchise history. Before the trade deadline, the Kings acquired another former Philadelphia Flyer in Richards' friend and former teammate Jeff Carter from the Columbus Blue Jackets for Jack Johnson and a conditional first round draft pick. The Kings were much improved under Sutter, going 25–13–11. They also narrowly missed clinching their second divisional title in franchise history.

3 game home losing streak is pretty brutal, and a record below .500 against non-divisional opponents is disgusting.

If this team doesn't start winning games against good teams and scoring against good goalies then we might as well not even bother making the playoffs. New month, time to start fresh Canucks!
