They really looked flat in the first game. I've seen Shane Hnidy
twice in a Ducks uniform and he's been horrible in both appearances.
The excuse I kept hearing from the radio guys was that it's early and
the team hasn't had a chance to gel yet. Am I the only one who
doesn't buy this argument? I mean, each team has the same amount of
time to prepare for games. Were the Kings better prepared for game
1? Yes. Did they have more time for the team to gel? No.
It's going to be a long season if the players' reputations will get
them sent to the Sin Bin every other shift.
Good recovery in game 2.
