The trailer is the responsibility of the center & there was Upshall down low covering nobody. Biega stays at home in front of the net when Holm is chasing down Pearson.

They were on the PK. Biega needs to pick up a man. 2 feet infront of nillson picking up no king is bad positioning.

Pretty much. It wasn't pretty

You could see him trying to protect his head at the end.

Near the top the slot is a forward back check responsibility.
When 1 D is in chase mode the other has the net.

I blame N4U

Murph just interviewed Virtanen and asked him if he was worried about the PTO guys taking his roster spot.

He gave the correct answer. Acknowledged their experience and said "I've just gotta worry about myself."

Through 40 minutes, Virt > Upshall with his two penalties, and probably Ryan White as well.

Virtanen has been one of the best players in this game. I've liked White better than Upshall, if i had to pick between the two, it'd be him.

Difficult to judge Dorsett, guy is coming off of a serious injury and hasn't played in almost a year.

Just a hunch...

With TG at the helm players like Sven will get a short leash.
I can see Rodin being better if healthy & thats not saying much.
Winning puck battles & good puck possession is not Svens strength.

Right now many of our wingers can easily do what Sven does.

Boucher is useless.

4 hits 2 shots and a goal

and he's only played like 6 mins with so-so linemates, makes it that much more impressive

I think that hit on white was nice clean hit.

Jake has only 5:46 of ice time through two periods, lowest of ALL the forwards.

Good on him for making the most of his limited ice time.

Holm gives the puck away as Kopitar bears down on him to give LA the go-ahead goal.

He started off decently, but the wheels are coming off

I bet he makes the team. He has clearly been working.

He just had a do nothing shift but yeah

You can tell it's the preseason with all these penalties.
