Lets say the Kings had scored 3 more goals on 10 more shots (to be consistent with yesterday's S%). They would have won 9-2 and still gotten outshot by 17. That still wouldn't have impressed you, because they got so heavily outshot, correct?

The rest of the game was equal, with the Kings scoring and the Sharks not scoring. How exactly are the Kings supposed to win to get some respect? The Sharks hadn't given up a 1st-period goal in 9 games. The Kings promptly scored 3. Should they not count because Marleau is an idiot? Yes, Jack was -1. The ES scoring for the game was 3-1, with Jack being out there for the garbage goal. How terrible. "but for that pesky games-in-hand thing" San Jose 43 Colorado 43 Phoenix 43 Los Angeles 43 Chicago 42 Nashville 42 Vancouver 42 Calgary 41 It's not like they've got many GIH on anybody. In the end, everyone plays 82 games, so its not like the Kings have some unfair advantage there.

But I agree about the Kings, in part because the playoffs start and end with the goalie, and Quick will have to be downright Gigu-sgood-ian to bring them to a game for silver.
