People saying "Stars in 3" because this banger just dropped.

My ears are bleeding, that's terrible.

The Fraud Squad is classic. The more and more I listen to Bisonnette the more and more I like him. He didn't hold back at all and let the Kings have it.

I know Kopi said nobody told them to play back, they just did....makes no sense the whole team would sit back and not try to get passed center ice. Even Kuz would carry the puck over the blue line look around to make a play and start to panic because he remembered he wasnt supposed to attack. Biz is correct. After blowing those games you gave Edm their confidence and LA had none, add in being exhausted and the Kings were done

A week later it still baffles me how LA bungled that whole series. It's seriously mind boggling, pulling a NY Giants and grasping defeat from the jaws of victory.

Of course there were plays - missed empty nets (TOTM should have excelled in those scenarios), posts, Buster's massive dumbass move - but the majority of it was Jill and his shoddy coaching. Inexcusable.

Watching all these teams still in it and it's a 5 man unit in every zone. If a defenseman can be the first to the puck offensively, he jumps on it and keeps it alive for the forwards. Kings always retreat, and err on the side of caution. You also see these teams all go to the net, and they get greasy goals. Low, hard, on net shots. Kings are just too cute and overthink everything looking for that perfect play. To me, that's not personnel, it's coaching and system. And trusting your whole team, not shortening the bench to 8-9 forwards. Just such glaring mistakes, and not even touching the horrendous coaching challenge. Seeing what Barube has gotten done for the Leafs, just getting them to realize their own talent and lock in the focus more. He basically said they're a good team and his job is to remind them of that and make sure they see that. Keeping their confidence up.

Edmonton sort of just did the same thing to Vegas Game 1. Down 2 goals, dominated the second half of that game. Vegas had almost nothing in the 2nd and 3rd period. It's going to really get in LA's head if Edmonton wins it this year. I just feel like Pickard and Skinner can't get it done, but they've gotten it done so far.

Toronto/Florida was some really high end hockey. Florida was really pushing, but Toronto kept coming and kept staying ahead. Home teams dominated Round 1, but road teams have held their own so far in Round 2. Only Toronto has a home win.
