As the eighth seed, there is always a legit hope that a team in such a position can do some damage in the playoffs, and the Kings are living proof.
Not only have they taken care of business, but they've dominated every series in the Stanley Cup playoffs thus far.
Here's why the Kings will take home Lord Stanley's Cup in 2012.
Jonathan Quick
There isn't a single goalie better than Quick in the playoffs at the moment, and that's including the man they call "King" Henrik Lundqvist.
Quick had an impressive regular season with a 1.95 GAA, but he's become even better lately. In the playoffs, he's allowing 1.41 goals per game, which is less than half of his average in the 2010-11 playoffs.
