This season marks the second yr of the NHL's realignment that today features two divisions in every of the two Conferences. The Kings are just one of seven teams that have fun playing the Pacific division and as everyone gears up for another work the Kings appear to have a massive advantage over their division rivals in one regard...goaltending!

Jonathan Quick with the Kings has backstopped the team two a pair of championships over the past a few seasons. He was the Next year Playoff MVP (Conn Smythe Trophy) and after his / her stellar play in that publish season he was agreed upon to a 10-year contract extension. The 2014-15 season is year two of the deal. To claim that Quick gives the Kings stability and strength in objective would be a huge understatement.

As for your other division opponents...they will haven't or don't appear to become as fortunate at the position.

The Kings cross town opponents, Anaheim, parted ways in the off-season with their number one goalie within the past six seasons Jonas Hiller. Frederik Andersen and Steve Gibson will handle the tasks for the Ducks and the a couple of have a grand total of just 31 NHL games of experience bewteen barefoot and shoes. Andersen showed great promise like a rookie last season actively playing in 28 games and posting a 2.29 objectives against and .923 save proportion while compiling a 20-5-0 report. Andersen is 25. Gibson, who shutout the actual Kings in Game 4 of last year's 2nd round series, 2-0, is only 21 years old.#9 Anaheim Ducks Paul Kariya Premier Black Home Jersey The 2013-14 campaign was his very first as a pro. Since both are misguided as NHL number one goalies the Ducks are rolling the dice a bit with this scenario.

"We had everything before us. We experienced nothing before us." With apologies to Mr. Dickens this covers San Jose's current state of affairs. After grabbing the 3-0 series over the Kings inside the first round of the 2010 playoffs last Spring, the Sharks dropped four straight and suffered the embarrassment of becoming the 4th team in NHL history in order to blow such a lead. In objective Antti Niemi has been their go-to net minder for the last four seasons but one has to wonder if the team's fall in the playoffs is the start of the end for him with the organization. He heads into the new season with one year left on his contract and if he falters early on to start this season 27 year-old Alex Stalock may be given the opportunity to move forward.

In Vancouver the conversation concerning goaltending the past few seasons has centered on veteran Roberto Luongo and the up and coming Corey Schneider. Who will they keep? Who do they trade? Prior for the 2013 Entry Draft Schneider had been traded to New Jersey making Luongo the club's top goaltender for the eighth straight season. As the 2013-14 season unraveled for the Canucks Luongo had been eventually dealt to Fl at the deadline leaving the team with a huge void.Corey Perry Jersey Enter 34-year outdated veteran Ryan Miller who had been signed as a free agent in the off season to a three-year deal with a cap hit of $6 million per year. After a sub-par playoff run in St. Louis can Callier regain his level of play to make his new group a playoff contender?

The aforementioned Jonas Hiller has now landed in Calgary. The 32-year old Swiss native was inked with a two-year contract as a free agent this past summer. The deal may be worth $4.5 million per year. Hiller can give the Flames experience in objective as the team continues re-tooling with younger talent and their latest draft choices. The Flames continue to search for the heir to Mikka Kiprusoff's reign. Last season Calgary played youngsters Kari Ramo, Reto Berra and Joni Ortio in goal. Berra was bought and sold and Ramo appears to be the likely candidate to push Hiller for enjoying time. Ramo won 17 games in 40 appearances for your Flames last season.

The Edmonton Oilers have got missed the playoffs with regard to eight straight seasons plus a contributing factor in this abyss has been goaltending. The Oilers head into the new season with a pair of cast-offs from other businesses hoping this gets them pointed in the right direction. Ben Scrivens, who grew up in the Edmonton area, was acquired mid-way through last time from the Kings. He played in 21 games with the Oilers going 9-11-1 having a club best .916 save portion. Now with his third NHL team Scrivens, Twenty eight, will be given every opportunity to gather number 1 status. Ex-Duck Viktor Fasth, 32, has been acquired last Spring as well as like Scrivens has limited NHL expertise. Fasth played only 12 game titles last season for Anaheim and Edmonton.

The Arizona Coyotes have committed to Mike Smith as their goalie. He enters his fourth season as the club's number one net minder and the current contract has your pet locked up for three more many years after this one. Smith's game faltered mid way through last period effectively knocking the Coyotes out from the playoff picture. Smith won 37 game titles in his debut season in the desert in 2011-12 and has not necessarily come close to this total since. Former Oiler number one pick Devan Dubnyk has been added to join Smith. Dubnyk spent 8 seasons in the Oilers organization and never reached the level the membership has hoped for.

SUPER SUPERLATIVES

The Kings 2014 Stanley Mug run featured so many superlatives that one now wonders what the staff can do in the future that they haven't already accomplished.

They won a few Game sevens en route to the Final, any feat never before done. They established a record for the most playoff games in a year by a Cup winner with 26. They were 7-0 in elimination games, one timid of the NHL record,Youth Anaheim Ducks Customized Authentic Black Home Jersey and the many ever by a Stanley Cup success. They also became the first staff ever to win 3 consecutive playoff games where these people trailed by two goals (Game 7 at Chicago as well as Game 1 & 2 compared to NY Rangers).

On an individual level...Marian Gaborik, Justin Williams and Mike Richards all improved to 7-0 in Game 7's during their career. Anze Kopitar led the actual playoffs in scoring for that second time. He had 26 points in 2014 (5-21=26). In 2012 he co-led the league with Something like 20 points. Jeff Carter, the deadline acquisition in 2012, has now scored 24 goals within the last three playoff years, most in the NHL. Dustin Brown became the first All of us born captain to acquire two Stanley Cups and Bieber Williams continued his stellar perform in Game sevens in his career improving his numbers in order to seven goals, seven7 assists, 14 points in seven career Game sevens.
