Even if the D sucks.

Didnt see the game but from the highlights Anderson had to steal one so...

They may have the worst record, but they are not the worst team.  They are not playing  two (or was it three?) teenagers in the lineup, they are playing for a coach that is very popular with players, and they are playing a very different type of hockey.  Plus the bar has not just been lowered but dropped to the freaking floor, so they are playing with no pressure.

How many players in Buffalo are better than Karlsson, Turris and Ryan? It shouldn`t be close.

Kings are coming off 2 wins in a row on a road trip and I suspect they might come out flat tomorrow for what amounts to an 11 am game for them.  If the Sens can bounce back from that performance last night and play even with the Kings they can pull out 2 points.

Kings last played in the West a week ago (Dec. 8).  Assuming they traveled to Montreal on the 9th, they will have had 4 four nights in the Eastern time zone.  I remember a trip to Europe where I was fine the first three days and then the jet lag hit me like a ton of bricks.  Going back West was a very different story.  So, yeah, the Kings could very well lay an egg tomorrow. And even if they don't, if Anderson plays like he did last night the Sens will be in good shape.

"Kings could very well lay an egg tomorrow"

Nope.
