Los Angeles Kings vs San Jose Sharks

This hockey rivalry does not ever get to old for hockey fans.

For example, these two faced off in the post-season last year in 2016 and the Sharks won to move on for a shot at the Stanley Cup which they lost.

Los Angeles consistently makes the playoffs just about every year. The San Jose Sharks are the Kings kryptonite. If LA makes it to the post-season then they ask are the Sharks in the playoffs.

If they are, then realistically they are only concerned with them.

The Kings are a team usually plagued with injuries and inconsistencies. They usually have a slow start to gaining momentum to earn themselves a trip to the playoffs.

Los Angeles won the Stanley Cup twice in the last 4-5 years in 2012 and 2014. They look to make it their in 2017, yet they are struggling to even give them a chance to make it to the post-season.

Mentioning a slow start the Kings are currently fighting for the final playoff spot in the west. Continuing to lose games doesn’t help them at all.
