THE ROOT TO THE PLAYOFFS: Mar. 16th – Mar. 19th
The LA Kings have 14 games left in their 2014-15 season and they will not make the playoffs without significant help from the rest of the league. Knowing which team to root for in any given matchup can be complicated so we’ve put together this handy guide for you.
Rooting Guidelines for games not involving the Kings:
RULE 1 – Always root for an Eastern Conference Team over a Western Conference Team.
RULE 2 – Almost always root for a Central Division Team over a Pacific Division Team.
RULE 3 – Always root for the higher ranked team when two Central Division Teams are playing each other.

There’s no other important games tonight so here’s a flashback to 2012.
Root: KINGS
Tuesday, March 17th
Minnesota at Nashville
The Minnesota Wild is a stupid name.
Root: PREDATORS
San Jose at Winnipeg
This is exactly like the fights between The Sharks and The Jets from West Side Story.
There’s a ton of melodrama about leadership and you just wish it would be over as quickly as possible.
Root: NO OT
St. Louis at Calgary
Root: BLUES
Philadelphia at Vancouver
We are all Flyers fans this week.
Root: FLYERS

Los Angeles at Anaheim
ALL I WANT FOR MY BIRTHDAY IS FOR THE KINGS TO BEAT THE DUCKS.
Root: KINGS
THURSDAY, March 19th
San Jose at Toronto
The only thing funnier than the Leafs missing out on a good draft pick would be the Sharks missing the playoffs.
Root: LEAFS
Washington at Minnesota
The Minnesota Wild is STILL a stupid name.
Root: CAPITALS
St. Louis at Winnipeg
Kings fans have to root for the Blues twice in the same week???
Root: BLUES
Pittsburgh at Dallas
A few more losses and we won’t have to pay attention to the Stars anymore.
Root: PENGUINS
Philadelphia at Calgary
Philadlephia has already given the Kings so much… but we could really use a little bit more.
Root : Flyers
Columbus at Vancouver
#Lumbus.
Root : Blue Jackets
Colorado at Arizona
It’s mid-March and I care about the outcome of a game between the 21st and 29th team in the NHL.
Root : Coyotes
