The really has not been much in the way of hockey in post season for Los Angeles since Gretzky left the team more then a decade ago. They have not really been able to even to get the playoffs since 2002 playoffs. They are a team that just really haven't found a player to carry them to the pint of greatness or playoff oportunity. Luckily they are a young team right now which means there is an opportunity in coming years to be playoff team.
At forward they are young. There captain Dustin Brown is only 24 years old. There point leader was Anze Kopitar with 66 points was also assit leader with 39. Goal leader was Alexander Frolov with 32.
At defense they are young too. Kyle Quincey was they leading defensemen in points with 38 points. The best plus minus on the team was Sean O'Donnell with a +2. They are going to need to imporve in the defense area as a team in whole.
Jonathan Quick had 21 wins for them last year. I think that he will be the starting goaltender this year. Hopefully the defense in front of him will help out some more this year. Maybe they won't finish last in the division this season. I doubt they are a playoff ready team at this point.
