"Kings' historians will remember the pitfalls and pratfalls on some of these long, cold journeys through Alberta, getting body slammed by the one-two punch of the Flames and Oilers.

Previously, even coming away with a split would have been cause for celebration. So why then did leaving Alberta with three out of a possible four points this weekend carry the slight feel of disappointment?

The faces and body language of the Kings showed just that shortly after the Oilers defeated them, 2-1, in overtime at Rexall Place on Sunday night. Taylor Hall got the game-winner, on the power play, just 21 seconds after the Kings' Justin Williams went off for high-sticking Theo Peckham."
