The Los Angeles Kings are Falling Apart, Surprise Teams of the First Half and Norris Trophy Rankings!

On today's Western Conference Tuesday episode of Locked on NHL, Seth Toupal and Nick Morgan start by talking about the Los Angeles Kings, who are in major trouble after managing just 2 wins so far in January. They discuss the goaltending issues, with Cam Talbot's performance falling back to Earth after his hot start to the season. They also discuss a down season for Pierre-Luc Dubois, and the disappointment of the Kings sinking prospects into acquiring him as well as signing him to a long term extension. Seth and Nick also discuss the collective slumps many players up and down the lineup have endured and what it means for their status at the Trade Deadline and the future of head coach Todd McLellan. Seth and Nick discuss the surprise teams of the first half of the season, with the Winnipeg Jets providing the biggest surprise after looking like they were going to have to take a step back at the beginning of the offseason. They also tough on Edmonton righting the ship, and teams like Seattle and Minnesota surprising for the wrong reasons. They finish by looking at the most recent round of voting by Locked on NHL hosts for the Norris Trophy.
