Yes, the Kings' best player Anze Kopitar went down with what ended up being diagnosed as a broken ankle. The scheduled healing time is six weeks, and it couldn't have come at a worse time for the Kings, as they jockey for position in the playoffs. The tone in which the announcers spoke as Kopitar couldn't get up not only speaks about the potential disaster that the Kings could face come playoff time, but it suddenly has Kings fans crossing fingers and rubbing rabbit's feet that things will still be good. As of right now, Kopitar is scheduled to be be back in mid-May, which would mean that the Kings would have to make Game 7 of the Conference Semifinals, at the very least. Somehow, I just can't see it happening, which is a shame.
