New York Islanders vs. Los Angeles Kings: Hammer don't hurt 'em

Prediction: No Quick brother-in-law references.

The New York Islanders bring their up-and-down ship back home for a meeting with the mighty Los Angeles Kings, a team left for dead early in the season by those who look only at (short-term) records and slumps, but who are now comfortably dusting the Pacific off their shoulder like some such Thornton lint.

Most frighteningly, the Kings are coming off a #HereComeTheOilers-level embarrassment of the Bruins in Boston, which surely brought smiles to the faces of all acquainted with but not wed to Boston sports.
