I blame Duckie. She's got Toronto jinx wafting from her. Sorry. It needs to be said.
Larsson just had a the kind of shift that gets you benched for the rest of the game. Think Sbisa and Schultz having a love child, then that child having a child with Sbisa, then that child having a child with Schultz. That kind of bad.

overall thoughts on Larsson?
Started out ok, but got more tentative and prone to mistakes as the night went on. I'd be surprised if Eakins puts him back in the lineup tonight, even if only because of the back-to-back with travel.

You can see his talent on the puck. Bit tentative at times but that was probably the intensity of the moment. Had a good safety net playing with Theodore and the two of them were pretty competent in getting the puck up ice the best they could.
Super difficult game for him to get into considering what little space the Reign give the Gulls players in the neutral zone. Probably his best assets: His skating and outlets, were fairly neutralized coming across center red.
Had a few good moments of stick handling and aggression in the o-zone. Got caught flat footed on the game winner and kind of let Mersch go right in front to screen Hackett while he puck watched.
Looked decent all things considered. For a first game and the situation it was as expected. Made some good plays, made some tough/bad plays, looked a little gun shy at times. Again though, you can definitely see the talent there.
Personally I think he looked better than both Cooper and Welinski, granted small sampling for all parties involved.
