L.A. is a damn good team, so beastly on the forecheck. Leafs will have to play a hard game otherwise they'll be on their toes all night trying to counter the Kings animalistic forecheck.
Does the same thing happen in Ottawa?
David Alter: Maple Leafs lines: JVR-Kadri-Kessel, Raymond-Smith-Clarkson, Lupul-Holland-Kulemin, McLaren-McClement-D’Amigo-Ashton. Paul Hendrick: Defensive pairings: Gunnarsson and franson. Gardiner and liles. Fraser and ranger. Rielly and phaneuf is the extra pairing.
Jonas Siegel: Franson and Gardiner are on the 1st PP unit. Liles and Gunnarsson on the 2nd PP unit.
As someone who watches the Kings as something of a 'second team', believe me, not attempting to sit on a 1-goal lead was definitely an anomaly for LA.
They really stopped doing that 10 games in. That was definitely not an anomaly. Sitting on leads is not a good thing for any team. So they stopped doing it after they blew one and nearly blew another. Sorry to drop in, just inaccurate.
Rielly benched again?
Is Bernier getting the start?!
Why the **** isn't Rielly going to the World Jrs when we obviously don't need or use him? Play the god damn kid, or let him go get some national experience.
GO LEAFS!
The really frustrating part is that we've now burned a year of his reasonable entry level deal with a cheap cap hit of only 900k/yr. I kind of wish we followed the Wings philosophy and saved those cheap years right about now.
Scrivens vs Bernier
Does this decide who won the trade?
