The Kings team defensive concept doesn’t really require d men who can keep up with speedy forwards. The d men are meant to push everything to the outside so the wingers can come down and shadow the attacking forwards. This is what happened for the first 2 periods. Oilers had no room to operate in the Kings zone. They couldn’t connect two passes.For the rest of the series do you see Edmundson getting any better at keeping up with the speed of the Oilers? Yeah, me neither.
So Edmundson just needs to stay on this damn feet and use his big ass frame to clear the front of the net plus lay the body behind the net along the boards. That’s the whole reason he was signed. He didn’t do that in the 3rd period last night.
