Something has to give

By Rich Hammond on October 13, 2008 5:00 PM | | Comments (3) |

The Kings and Ducks both enter Tuesday's game with 0-2 records. Only once in franchise history, in 1969-70, have the Kings started a season with three consecutive regulation losses. The 1985-86 team started with two regulation losses and one overtime loss. Neither season turned out well. The 1969-70 team finished with 38 points in 76 games and the 1985-86 team finished with 54 points in 80 games.

The Ducks have had two 0-3 starts in their 14-season history, in 2003-04 and 1998-99.

I predict an OT game... if a goal is scored in the overtime, LA will win, if it goes to a shootout, Anaheim probably prevails.

at least that's my best guess.

GO KINGS!!!
