Give the Kings some credit for once jesus.
I also find it comical no one has discussed this: POSTED by Johnjm22
It's been our biggest problem when it matters the most.
09-10 Playoffs:
4.17 Goals Against Per Game (Worst amongst all playoff teams)
3.00 Goals Scored Per Game
10-11 Playoffs:
3.33 Goals Against Per Game (4th worst amonst all playoff teams)
3.33 Goals Scored Per Game (Best amongst all playoff teams)
Offense has not been a problem in the playoff's
The Defense has been down right awful.

You're right, Murray should have been fired after last season's playoffs. How can a defense-only coach lose his team so badly when it matters most? Not just once, but twice. It's not like the Kings have struggled against Vancouver or San Jose in the regular season, they have been pretty even. And it's not like they went against Chicago in the playoffs, a team that has dominated the Kings for a few years during the regular season.
I still think Kopitar getting injured saved his job. It gave everyone an excuse for the collapse, the Kings could have won the Pacific or at least been the 4th seed. Instead they lost back-to-back games to give the 4th seed to Anaheim.
But instead, I will just go with a small sample size of 6 games being the reason for the stats.
