The coaches use the top 4 where they are best suited. Fox is the power play guy. Lindgren kills penalties. But Trouba is the guy who consistently plays the most ES minutes.

It is what it is. Have to have confidence in the coaches to have a system that allows the defense to play their best.

It's all so tiresome
If there’s a lesson to be learned from Jeannot and Goodrow it’s to not pay more than close to league min for 4th liners. Vesey and Pitlick have been great and both are making nothing.
The Rangers had 3 days off before the back to back. The Kings were on a 4 game road trip playing every other night. They had to fly to Columbus play a game then fly to Montreal play a game then back to backs with the Isles and Rangers. 4 game road trip isn't even close to being the same thing as a 3 day break.
They allow the fewest goals a game and score the 3rd most goals a game. If you are just reading names on a paper and not the results its not the best way to judge a team.
The Kings structure, which is quite good, is making their goaltenders look better than they really are. You really think Talbot and Copley can have a Cup run? IMO, they have a second round ceiling right now.

They may get the 1 seed when it’s said and done, but I still rate Vegas, Avs and Stars ahead of them out west
Sure, but it is still close enough to be a toss up. I like LAK=Stars > Vegas > Avs. But it's super close regardless. Jets and Canucks, nah.

Not disagreeing with anything else you’re saying, but I don’t think goalies mean shit anymore when it comes to the playoffs.
Edit - grammar

Thought the kings and rangers looked like mirror images to be honest. Rangers have more game breakers though.

Actually I was commenting on Zibad's PP goal. Two seam passes really put the goalie out of position. Zibad was staring at an empty net. L.A. is one of the better teams on the PK and really dropped the ball on that one, letting two cross ice passes through. Bing, Bang, Boom.
But Johnny's PP goal was also very pretty. Troch waiting patiently for Johnny to make his move into open ice, into a prime shooting area and then releasing that rocket of a shot, was also very impressive.
What a great game! Not to mention Troubs laying out a guy in the crease. That kinda exemplified our commitment to playing strong D once again, and showing the best defensive team in the league, how it is done. LOL!
Quick had almost another shutout. He's been amazing.
