I so wish that I could write a post game blog solely about Ersberg being robbed once again by the media in the building when he was again knocked down from the First Star of the Night that he actually earned in my opinion. He has 2 NHL shut-outs in his first 10 NHL games. That is the kind of goaltending that will enable the Kings to concentrate on the rest of the team. In other words, the skaters will get the kind of scrutiny that always should have been in place; but for bad goaltending. Previously, the blame always went between the pipes. And stopped there. (Huh?)
I am becoming a believer in Ersberg over LaBarbera. Previously, I touted LaBarbera and fully supported him as the bridge to Bernier. My allegiances are now veering to the Swedish import. He has a calm demeanor and a control of rebounds while in net I didn’t sense with LaBarbera even on some of the winning streaks this season Jason made possible.
Is Crawford’s Past Precluding a Healthy Atmosphere for the Kings’ Present?
