Today, we discuss the following topics:

1. Why the loss to the Leafs was a Good Thing, Actually;

2. Why it still sucked anyway; and

3. Some big milestones across the league.

All that and more on today's episode of Locked On Los Angeles Kings, part of the Locked On Podcast Network.

If you're a Kings fan who lives outside of the LA area and would like to be considered for a future "far-flung fan spotlight", go to http://bit.ly/LockedOnKings and fill out a very brief survey.
