KBPP Preview: Kings vs Blackhawks

So I go on the road for work, and the Kings go on the road for a couple of games. I have some pretty successful meetings and the Kings start looking like the Titanic. So Dean Lombardi makes his trade move and decides Jeff Carter is the man to help save the sinking ship.

Will it work? Or does this team have enough holes that it takes more than one move to plug them? Here's what your favorite Kings bloggers have to say.

• Score: Kings 4, Hawks 1
• Reason: If trading Jack Johnson didn't get it through to these guys, nothing will. Dean proved yesterday that he'll willing to make tough moves and the players have one game left to prove their worth.
• Record: 4-7

• Score: Blackhawks 5, Kings 2
• Reason: Because the more things change, the more they stay the same. And because I have absolutely NO IDEA what to expect from this team any more.
• Record: 5-6

Hipcheck from LA Kings Road Talk Radio

• Score: Kings 3, Blackhawks 2
• Reason: Carter makes it happen in his first game with a pair of goal in his LA Kings Debut and Justin Williams out the other with a Kopi helper.
• Record: 4-4

• Score: Blackhawks 4, Kings 1
• Reason: The slide continues to edge ever closer to the abyss. JMFJ nets the only goal. What? Did I miss something.
• Record: 4-7

• Score: Kings 3, Blackhawks 1
• Reason: The offense looks to get a jolt from Jeff "The Cannon" Carter, but it'll be Mike Richards who benefits, as the besties show instant chemistry. Also, the defense will show the depth that allowed Lombardi to trade away Jack Johnson.
• Record: 4-8
