So GM Kyle Selig of the Kings said in a statement Feb. 5th 2018. “Sneak into Play-offs and go Shark Hunting”

Well GM Selig you got what you asked for. The Kings at the time of the comment where on the outside looking in. They were definitely getting a little worried as they were the Team that (on paper) should have won the Division. But the Kings got just hot enough to put the Flames, Canucks, and the Wings(bums) and the rest of the chasers behind them to get the 7th seed.

So with  only 6 SIM days till play-offs start it will be Kings vs Sharks round 1. Will those words come back to burn GM Selig? A comment like that is very bold by a GM.

The 2 teams matchup very good. The season  series  was 3-2-1 favoring the Kings with an 18 to 17 difference in goals. The Sharks will have home ice for the first round matchup where they had a record of 23-11-6 and the Kings are on the road and there road record was 17-18-5.

It’s going to be a great series. Both teams have highly talented forwards and some decent steady playoff defenceman. What this series is going to come down to is Goaltending. Allen VS Talbot. Pretty much the same stats on the season.

Or will the young inexperienced Sharks take those comments as extra motivation and shock everyone again and make it past the 1st round of the play-offs?
