Los Angeles – a year ago, Kyle McLean exploded on the scenery of the island's residents like Supernova, playing with energy and confusion that renewed the fourth line late in the qualifiers.
The second year of the 25 -year -old followed a tougher path.
“I am still learning,” said MacLean-who was in the squad against the kings after losing Sunday. “I woke up last year, but this is my first full year of the camp. Maybe you can say this is a little. You definitely don't want an excuse or anything. I still have a job to do. I have to perform.”
The fourth line of the post -identity line faced the most severe skis than expected.
Maclean's colleagues alternated on a semi-fixed basis throughout the season-what he played most in one group is 13 games-partly due to injuries and partly because it was not any specially effective mix.
McLean, who played at 9:06 in the loss, and Mark Gatomb, who formed two -thirds of the fourth line since the summons of Gatomb in mid -January, both on the NHL educational curve.
“I think when you are called for the first time, it does not necessarily run, but it is a kind of feeling different,” McLean said. “You can't get worse. You have a kind of a little more adrenaline. And you cannot make it. This is the case for everyone when they are for the first time.
“This year, it's a little more – it is different in the sense that it is from the camp. Things will not go well [at points]. You have to discover that, make sure you don't let these things affect you. Just you should continue. “
Pierre Engvall I moved to the third line next to Maxim Tsiplakov And Casey CIZICAS, with Hudson Fasching goes to the fourth line.
“I just hope it will bring this spark [Engvall] Needs, “coach Patrick Roy He said. “I just hope he will play Pierre [inside] A little more, it leads the network more, bringing the scenic balls to the network more, and more physically involved. “
If McLean could not go on Tuesday, Al -Jazeera residents planned to go with 11 attackers and seven defenders – this time with Adam Bakvist in defense rather than playing as a position.
Elia Sorokin He was in Safi in favor of the islands after Marcus Higberg played on Sunday against Annim.
