I have working on being more positive after my 83rd anger management class.
Last night the Kings beat a team that they have struggled against with a depleted roster. Big Save Dave/ Big Dick Rittich was not good, but we still won.
Darcy, Drew , Mike, Anze, and (depending on your definition) Byfield got to rest.
Even though it was a meaningless game the team pulled themselves up by their ankle blankets and eeked out a win. Hopefully the increased ice time will help guys like Turcotte and What the Helenius.
Last nightg was a speed bump on the way to the playoffs and there kept their head in the game.
Was it ideal? Hell no
Was it impressive considering who was on the ice- Yes
The more the season goes on, the more impressed I am with Hiller's coaching. He needs to be in the Jack Adams and Jack Nicklaus discussion.
as far the goaltending, I am guessing that Rittich moves down the depth chart and Portillo moves in the backup role
