If nothing more, the loss of Justin Williams will cost the LA Kings performance insurance in the playoffs.
Since the LA Kings won their second championship in three years in 2014, the road has been anything but easy and they've brought a new definition of thin ice into the picture of professional sports.

The Vancouver Canucks found a way to blow a game that was all about them in a way only Vancouver could -- a last ditch effort by their opponent to score that hits the back of the net with thirty seconds to go.
Oh yeah, it was at home, too.
Vancouver can't seem to catch a break, and having to find a way to beat the Calgary...
Let me just say that the Canadiens got lucky.
The Ottawa Senators had all the momentum, all the mojo, and all the reason in the world to go into Montreal and show the Canadiens what hockey is all about. Everyone saw it coming, right?
Well that didn't happen.
Ottawa scored first thanks to a Milan Michalek unassisted break in...
Should the Winnipeg Jets make the NHL Playoffs this year, the way in which they get there will not be pretty -- or easy to say the least.
As it stands right now, the Jets would be in the playoffs if the season ended today, but just barely. They currently sit with 76 points to their credit, which is great and all but it is only a...

The Ducks went completely off the hook and scored three goals in a four-minute span during the third period. Anaheim trailed 0-2 going into the third period before going on a...
The Vancouver Canucks seem to be falling apart again, but this time their collapse isn't coming from an overwhelming outside force--it's coming from within.
This past Sunday, the Canucks lost Ryan Miller, their starting goaltender, to a leg injury suffered via friendly fire. Fellow Canuck Jannik Hansen flew into Miller during the...
We all love good old-fashioned comebacks. We love the sweet smell of victory that follows some miraculous turn of events (cough, cough...Seahawks). We can't handle the joy, shock, and awe that follows some incredible and unforgettable display of athletic ability.
Well, another mind-boggling and mind-blowing moment took place...
Over the past few seasons, the Los Angeles Kings have captivated us with how well they play the game of hockey at the professional level. Coming from nearly nowhere in 2011-2012, Los Angeles found life and was able to bounce not only the top-seeded Vancouver Canucks, but also the tough St. Louis Blues, and then division rival Phoenix...
