Kings 1, Toronto 0

Many Kings fans probably weren't even in their seats when Alexander Frolov scored on a partial breakaway 57 seconds into the game against Leafs goalie Vesa Toskala. Matt Greene set Frolov up with a nice pass, and Frolov got behind the defensemen.That surely made Jason LaBarbera feel a little more comfortable in goal.

preissing is an absolute liability, not only on the 2 on 1 chance that resulted from him letting the puck get by, but just watch him in the defensive zone.. he's tentative, doesn't assert his presence in front of the net, and he doesn't know how to use his stick effectively.
