Then, we had the momentum and Rakos took a silly penalty late, and THEN Hanzal scored. If that had not happened, we probably would have won that one. But to say we have no answer to that line is almost ridiculous...one thing is for certain....KARL couldn't help us in that regard. He'd probably fall in front of the net, and take the goalie down with him!! Then what? What if his big skate then hit the goalie in the head?? THEN WHAT??!!??
We have one of the elite penalty kills in the league. We are slumping a bit in the last four games with the PK, but we're killing them off at a feverish pace normally. SO THERE!
