For as frustrating as that’s been for the organization and fans alike, to show just how close they are to being one of the top teams in the league, think about this - 18 of Jonathan Quick’s 26 losses have been by one goal, including 10 of his last 12. Averaging just a half-a-goal more per game would make a HUGE difference. Winning just a third of those games (eight of the 26 to be more specific) would give them 81 points and have LA sitting second in the Western Conference.
Other than Jonathan Quick’s performance, this was pretty much the highlight of tonight’s game. #lakings  (Taken with instagram)
