When the Edmonton Oilers set
the record for playoff efficiency, they had a roster full of Hall of Famers
(including two of the highest career scorers of all time) and had been the best
team in the league for years, with several Stanley Cups to prove it.
When the Chicago Bulls blazed
through the season to a 72-10 record, they had a roster of Hall of Famers
(including arguably both the greatest player and coach of all time) and had
been the best team in the league for years with several NBA championships to
prove it.
These Los Angeles Kings averaged
an anemic 2.3 goals per game through this season (2nd last, one of only two teams that couldn't manage to reach 200 goals in an 82 game season), and could only muster sneaking into the playoffs in the last spot.
This is not a
team that should be flirting with history. Yet here they are doing exactly that.
