Here’s what NBCSN analyst and former NHL standout Jeremy Roenick had to say Monday about the Kings’ status as Western Conference favorites: “The Kings have to be the favorites again. It’s extremely hard to repeat … we haven’t had a repeat in nearly 20 years. That’s a tall order, but they have such good chemistry and they are so well-coached. You have to put Chicago and L.A. at the top of the Western Conference again … they’re still the favorites.”
