I don't think being "named" a captain changes anything...If Kesler was going to be THAT guy, he would've done it with or without the 'C' on his jersey. That 'C' really doesn't mean shit...I've been on plenty of teams where I have been named captain, and I've been on teams where I haven't been named captain due to seniority, but that has never changed the way I talk to my teammates or set an example for them...
^ don't think its gonna be much difference, all they need to do is to play better.
By play better you mean, score more than 3 or 4 goals per game? I think people have to remember that we don't have the same dynamic as last year's team. Moreso considering after the trade deadline, we purposely sacrificed scoring power for toughness.
When we sacrificed skill < grit, the 1 - 3 goals per game is exactly where our scoring range is. What's not in our range, is the goals against and 4 in the last 2 is unacceptable. With how we built our team coming into the playoffs, anything over 2 is asking for trouble.
A playoff series is all about making game-to-game adjustments...LA learned our game and came prepared for game 1...We should have made major adjustments for game 2 but failed to do so...Game 3 will say a lot about how good or bad of a coach AV truly is.
The only major changes AV will make are his lines lol
Line juggling is his solution to everything haha
