Wait, what do you mean Vancouver missed the playoffs? They have LUONGO. Who needs to score goals when you have LUONGO???
Without Brown and Frolov this year, the Kings would have scored 173 goals. That's 39 goals LESS than the devoid-of-offense Canucks. I'm sure the Kings' defense would have made up for that though right...?

...and we would have been without Luongo this year as well. He would have come over without a deal in place and we would not have been able to sign him. LA is not a hockey hotbed the way Vancouver is and he would not have access to the same kind of endorsement deals.

how is this possible? even Aubin got a commercial!!! ;-)
Just goes to show you, great goaltending alone doesn't solve your problems. The teams that end up winning are the complete ones, with good offense backed by good defense and finally good goaltending on nights when the **** hits the fan. In the Kings case, if we can get the defense fixed (not just the players, the coaching scheme as well), I think our goaltending is capable of carrying us into the playoffs.
Had the Kings really been in the Luongo sweepstakes as opposed to it merely being a press leak to have Dave Taylor try and save some face with the fans and be seen as "proactive" to improve the team and try to make the playoffs, and he had walked, and brown and frolov had been moved...

So the Kings should have traded Brown & Frolov for Luongo, eh?
