Got the same bad feeling I had against Ottawa, worse actually, hopefully the Leafs are going to play a shame game and LA is jetlagged, otherwise, this could get real ugly real fast too.

Sens are bad ju-ju enough, but the Kings are even worse ju-ju.

Won't matter if they don't put the full sixty minutes in, they had one good period in Ottawa too, but until the Loafs start playing the full sixty on a regular basis, they're going to keep getting burned, particularly against these heavy/counter teams.

Probably, I mean it is the Loafs we are talking about here.

It's a work in progress, they weren't the Loafs in the playoffs, but it takes them a whole season to get there, it's still a young team, they have to learn the hard way, because in the NHL, there's no other way.

The key is just picking up points on a regular basis, and avoiding a big swoon, just keep it heads above water, and get better as you go.

Ridiculous Nanny State SIFCLF "Concussion Spotter" rule, the No Hit League is an embarrassment.

Idiotic penalty from Komarov, move Marner back up and fire his dumb ass down to the fourth line instead, put Marner with Kadri and Marleau, make that the second line.

Where has this Matt Martin been for the last year? If we got this Matt Martin every night, he'd be worth the two point five schmill.

It's Martin-Bozak-Brown, Babs just moved him into JVR's spot.

Whoop, Babs be juggling lines like crazy, now he's got Hyman-Moore-Brown out there, double shifting Hyman and Brown I guess.

Fuckin' Freddie Toskala, can't stop a beachball, Matthews and Nylander have been bailing him out, but he's really the whole problem with this team right now, good for at least two softies per game, .890 save percentage, giant retarded fat kid on ice.

Komarov draws the penalty with 2:05 remaining, makes up for his earlier braincramp.

First team to beat the Kings in regulation this season, well done, that Marleau tip was a beauty.
