Pacific Preseason Preview 2: Do the Kings pass the laugh test? (SJBlog)

[rinkrat]

No, no they don’t. In the second part of a 4 part series, I’m breaking down the Kings in a post that’s one part information, five parts snark. In an (infinitesimally small) way, I wish the Kings were better, because the S.F. - L.A. rivalry is a good one. But like other rivalries that fell into disrepair since one or both teams now suck (like Niners-Rams), the Sharks-Kings bad blood doesn’t run as thick as it once did. And now, I must say in true Nelson Muntz fashion- Ha ha!

The Kings are the very definition of a rebuilding team. Stocked with young players with great potential, they still aren’t nearly ready for NHL prime time, and probably look to this season as a castor oil situation. As in, “swallow hard, I’m sure we’ll be better next year.” Actually, castor oil isn’t nearly the funniest analogy I could have made there.

That was sad, funny and unfortunately mostly true.

The Sharks only won six more playoffs games than the Kings last year. At least we have an excuse. Why do the Sharks choke-with all thier leadership, youth, goal scoring, Awsome goalie, great defensemen. The Sharks could finish 4th in the division this year.

When were the Sharks and Kings ever bitter rivals? Sure, maybe a few years ago or in the early part of this decade, but that paled compared to the Kings-Oilers rivalry of the 80's and early 90's, or Kings-Flames from the same era. In general, hockey rivalries today are not like they used to be.
