Major props to Khudobin. Started shaky but kept his focus and turned things around.
Khudobin doesn't want to go to the KHL
Good for Cassidy and the boys. I've been disgusted with Doby's performance since returning but Butch seems to know what to say and when. Pasta is turning into a star in the making and Carlo shows no anxiety no matter who he's up against. Krejci has pulled himself up by the bootstraps and elevated himself back to where he belongs, a true #1/2 center! All in all, great game, great coaching, great results!

I'm going to say this here:
Lots of people complained about Claude not giving Colin Miller chances and letting him play so he can develop. People even said that now that Cassidy is coach, Colin Miller will be playing more minutes and given more opportunities.
He's averaging way less ice time under Bruce Cassidy. And tonight (he didn't play bad) he played 10 minutes.
People also complained that Claude used the 4th line at times when he "shouldn't have." Bruce Cassidy is giving Moore and Schaller/Nash loads of ice time for 4th liners.
Just saying
If you bump into your friend that plays the organ at Staples, tell him his song selection was great tonight. (My memory may be off, but I seem to recall you meeting him in Russia.)
Exactly.Since Cassidy took over
The Spooner line is now the 4th line by ice time and the Moore line is now the 3rd line by ice time
He also Puts Schaller/Nash with Krejci late in 3rd periods something people ripped Claude for doing
And tonight In the last 8 mins he basically just rolled
Chara McQuaid
Carlo K Miller
On D
Colin Miller was benched the last 10 mins or so of the game and Krug got benched the last 5 mins until we got the 1st empty netter
Cassidy won't get crap for doing this though like Claude did until we lose
I hope we keep winning though I like Cassidy so far
It was nice to see the boys bounce back with a better defensive effort tonight and have our goalie outplay the other goalie for a change.
Unfortunate to see Cehlariks "first" goal taken away by yet another successful offside challenge. Damn do I hate those...
Krejcis line was the most dangerous line again tonight. It's just a matter of time until they start scoring on their chances. Krejci also had his best game in a while at bothe ends of the rink. He had some great back checks that prevented solid scoring opportunities.
And I liked BC's bench management. When the Kings had their 3rd period push to tie the game he had big boys on d on the ice. Didn't see as much of Chiller or Krug even though they both had solid games the Kings have a heavy forecheck.
Nothing to complain about tonight!
For those wondering what the South Park reference in thread title is about.
For years the unofficial cheerleader of the Kings on the scoreboard at Staples Center has been Cartman from South Park.
Staples Center is located in the South Park neighborhood of LA.
The Bruins defence is not good. Glad they won but Sweeney needs to get this fixed in off season. Enough is enough.
4 of 6 points in California. Mission accomplished!
Great win and now the Bruins management needs to fix one of the holes and go for the Atlantic division title and home ice. Montreal is in a free-fall, Toronto is starting to show signs of fatigue, Ottawa is full of injuries and the Bruins are well-rested with ample amounts of assets to add to this core.
