Friedman: Andrei Kuzmenko to LA

He is not the fastest skater. Looking at stats during the playoffs he has the same speed as Kopitar and was slightly faster than Danault and Clarke. Just to put things in perspective.

It is interesting that Kopitar and Daunault lost top speed during the playoffs. They both had faster bursts of speed during the regular season. Maybe the Kings should have rested some players more at the end of the season. Like the Oilers did.
Or maybe an intelligent coach would have played 4 lines to keep them fresh…

Sorry for beating a dead 🐴
 
Whatever magic that top line had - The Oil has successfully controlled that.

Of course - the staff decided that putting Lewis on the top line over Kuzy is baffling (among other things)

Too bad that pass didn't connect with Kempe Tuesday... it would've been siiiiick
The way I saw it, the PP started to move through Kopi and DD they way it always did. Then, it started to fail the way it always did.
