Kings. The game started off looking hopeless, but then the Leafs started a comeback, however it wasn’t enough to dig up out of the whole they had dug down. --- #### Related [Recap: The Leafs dig their own grave vs the Kings in a 5-3 loss](https://www.pensionplanpuppets.com/toronto-maple-leafs-los-angeles-kings-recap-auston-matthews-penalty-shot-goal/) --- If you haven’t checked ahead in the schedule: it’s brutal. The Leafs are now in the middle of playing seven games in eleven days, including multiple timezone changes, long flights, and ending with back-to-back home and away games against the Bruins.

As one of the supposed Stanley Cup favourites, you can imagine their fans are going through many stages of grief, which lead to some really weird statements, like this one. Also, Price is playing awful and it seems like he is playing worse now than he did before. His lateral movement opens up many holes, he is cheating on passes, pucks are squeezing through him. Right now, I don’t think it’s him just going through a bad stretch because there are a lot of technical flaws. I really think that the pads he is wearing has something to do with it. He is wearing similar style of pads that Quick wears. I think that these pads are more suited for aggressive goalies that move laterally a lot. Price is more of a composed goalie that uses his size and positioning to make saves which is why I think he should go back to last year’s pads because they suit more to his style of play.
