Blake Out of Hell III: Back in to Hell
The Kings are actually a pretty fast team and, yes, were much better on the rush than in years past. We've all been saying that this would improve with better breakout passes and I feel we saw more structure breaking out of the zone this season versus last season where it was a constant half-clear/half-pass hail-mary attempt to hopefully spring someone. Adding Danault/Arvi helped as well since you had competent offensive players receiving those passes.
The Danault line and the Lizotte/Lemieux/Kaliyev line were good at cycling and getting in on the forecheck but this was not a team making a living on grinding out cycles. If they did and it went back to the point for a shot, it was an air ball.
