Maybe this shouldn’t be all that surprising, after all the Leafs… well… the Leafs are pretty much awful. Nonetheless, the Kings managed to extend their winning streak to three games, and have won two consecutive on the road. Not a bad start to the road trip, with the Blue Jacket, Bruins and Devils lined up for the next three games. In fact, after a tragically disappointing homestead, this is precisely the road trip that the Kings need to regain momentum going into the Olympic Break in February.
I must admit the fact that the game wasn’t televised was more than a little annoying to this Kings fan, and the fact that Fox Sports appears to have lost their collective minds when it comes to televising games is a constant headache, but regardless, the game turned out well and I’m excited to turn on the television on Thursday as the Kings get ready to try to extend their streak to four games with a win against the Blue Jackets.
