The Kings don't have many players who are brave, stand up for teammates, big brother types, ones who will take a stand when other guys get pushed around. Sure we have Thornton and Ivanans but they don't play a lot of minutes and Jack Johnson just isn't out on the ice every shift because that kid likes to get involved as well.
We are a soft team, something that DL needs to address this summer. But DL is a soft guy so I don't know if he'll add some tough guys.
I mean ever watch a Ducks game? I mean you take a run at anybody on their roster and their whole team stops what their doing and goes after you until they send their message. And no, I don't want to be a ducks fan or anything like that but my point being, this is how winning teams play, and once they have that reputation, other teams are less prone to take runs at their star players. |
