You know what, I’m probably going to get some bad feedback from this post [laughs]. But as a Kings fan, I’ve seen them come back from impossible situations before. Remember being the 8th seed in 2012? Or coming back from the 3-0 deficit against the Sharks in 2014? If I’ve learned anything, you can’t count against the Kings. In fact, I think Kings fans (and for that matter, all other NHL fans) are doing the Kings a great disservice by already counting them out. Just remember, when people are surprised at the end of this season when Dustin Brown raises the Cup above his head after locking Darryl Sutter from the locker room with some appropriately placed trash cans, I called it.

And when the Kings win the Cup—that'll be three in four years. if you recall—it'll be a dynasty. Now that Dustin Brown has sculpted the Kings into the reign they always knew they could be, he can focus on his next battle: convincing his wife Nicole Brown to not ruthlessly make fun of him on live television when he's drunk, lonely, and in Detroit.

 I believed in them. After all, this is the playoffs, baby.
