The "development" of Muzzin may have cost us the Cup.

The "development" of Muzzin may have cost us the Cup.

Forwards that could not put the puck in the net cost the Kings the Cup...all 12+ of them, with the exception of Williams (and Toffoli for his limited games and ice time)

The "development" of Muzzin may have cost us the Cup.

That is ridiculous.

The "development" of Muzzin may have cost us the Cup.

Not even close.

Ridiculous statement.

Look no further than Drew Doughty who was a Minus Six against the Hawks , and Regehr who was a Minus Five.

Jake Muzzin was on the ice for One single goal against.

Drew Doughty played the worse playoff series of his Career against the Hawks.

 

[Live in the Now]

Too much scapegoating of bit part players around here lately.

 

[Reclamation Project]

Dwight King cost us the Cup.

The blame put on ancillary, rookie pieces is ridiculous.

 

[Seventyx7]

It's a team game. He wasn't even Randy Jones bad.

 

[Puck U]

The "development" of Muzzin may have cost us the Cup.

Didn't Gann get the memo every goal against is Muzzin's fault.

 

[Omni Owl]

I have hope for Muzzin. He's got great offensive instinct and size to go with it. Just wish he'd use it more. The defensive part of his game should improve over time. That's why I wish we'd keep Scuds around, Muzz could learn a lot from him.

Our top players cost us the cup this year, not the rookies...

Damnit! I knew I forgot something!

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Damnit! I knew I forgot something!

"While he was only on the ice for one goal against, the general opinion is that Jake Muzzin cost the Kings a shot at their second consecutive cup."

I may be in the minority, but I have high hopes for Muzzin. His playoffs weren't any worse than Voynov's last season. What was it, three own goals, on top of looking like a deer in headlights against each team's forecheck? And he turned out pretty good.

I was actually more impressed with Muzzin's regular season than I was of Voynov's the year prior. That comeback victory game against St. Louis in particular. Man, if he could get to that level on a consistent basis. And I don't think that's wishful thinking. The kid's only 24.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

The "development" of Muzzin may have cost us the Cup.

I'm a harsh (but I would say fair) critic of Muzzin, but this statement is ridiculous. He made some stupid mistakes but to fault his development for costing the Kings a Cup? You are delusional. Maybe that trade proposal with Toffoli and Bernier for Ryan Carter and Steve Bernier has clouded your mind.
