Should a team with Andy McDonald, Paul Kariya & Keith Tkachuk and a defensive corp of Backman, Johnson, Brewer and Jackman REALLY be 5 points out of the LAST playoff spot and tied with the decimated Nashville team?

Is Andy Murray proving Kings fans right in that maybe he really ISN'T the great coach everyone thinks he is?

Or will Andy put the St Louis Blues back in the playoffs in only his first full season as coach?

I'm kind of on the fence. On one hand, St Louis making the playoffs means Colorado or Minnesota, or (even better) Calgary or Vancouver don't.

On the other hand, Andy Murray making the playoffs would be a snub to the Kings organ-eye-zation who will now be in their 2nd straight not making the playoffs.

One nice thing in all of this: Should St Louis make the playoffs, Andy Murray will lose to the Red Wings in the 1st round 4 games to none.
