I hope Blake's "he's a really good coach" vote of confidence was actually a kiss of death otherwise I hope he wears the cement shoes as well.
Everyone sucks right now anyway but Pearson and Toffoli in particular are starting to give me the vibe of those journeyman guys who play for a few teams trying to rediscover their magic but end up really only having 2-3 50-60 point years. You always think they have more but not so much, and they eventually just flame out as they aren't good enough for a good top-six nor are they fits for a bottom six. Toffoli is Michael Ryder. Pearson is Curtis Glencross.
I watched for the first time since the Ottawa game and not once did I expect us to score on those PPs. I laughed, looked at my pops, and said "the Wild are actively trying to lose this game but the Kings won't let them."
