How did the Kings miss the playoffs?
Advanced stats would suggest that this shouldn't have happened, that these guys held the puck with the best of them:

The thing is, it’s not like the Kings collapsed. They were the league’s top possession club (getting 54.9% of score-adjusted shot attempts) and still have the 13th-best goal differential (+0.22 per game), which is better than three playoff teams (Anaheim, Detroit and Vancouver).

They only got four of ten potential points against the Calgary Flames, while the Calgary Flames got eight of ten potential points against the LA Kings.

Eventually advanced stats nerds will accept that not all shots are created equal.

So in a 30 team league we have at LEAST two outliers. (The Flames and the Kings).
Methinks Corsi needs a methodology adjustment.

Because they didnt accumulate enough points to solidify a playoff spot in the western conference. Corsi can suck my balls!

You just need to watch the Hudler/Jonny/Mony line to know that.

Possession only counts if you do something with it.

advanced stats aside....
Losing Voynov and Mitchell really hurt them a lot. Tack on bad years from Kopitar and Brown, and the team just didn't "have it" this year.
Playoff race is incredibly close, hell the gap between us and Anahaim is only 10 points.

They have played a lot of hockey the last few years. They have what every team needs, a world class goalie, superstar defense man and established number one center. Supplemental scoring and just the massive amount of tough games takes its' toll.

This completely sums it up.
We beat them out of their spot this year; 15 other playoff teams can thank Calgary that they won't have any chance of facing the Kings.
LA's terrible OT/Shootout record was a big factor too.

You also have to add the decision not to compliance buyout Richards when they had the chance. That was essentially $5.75 million dead cap space that they could have used to get some more scoring or fill the hole Mitchell left.

Because corsi does not equal possession. Even the NHL recognizes that on their website.
