KINGS-OILERS POST GAME… OY VEY
Is it too harsh to come down heavily on a team that just broke a franchise record winning streak, or that is on the verge of and more than likely will make the playoffs for the first time in six seasons? In some cases, no. In this case, yes. I challenge a Kings’ fan to [...]
