In general, I am just glad that the recalls the Kings made during this injury laden stretch were overall positive experiences for the players themselves, and helped the team tread water as they waited (waded?) for the "real" NHL guys to get healthy.
Honestly though, when it all gets boiled ("Boyle"-d?) down to the essence, the talent we've seen so far has been marginal as far as impact players go, but worthy of eating up minutes when called upon. I'd like to see more of Tambellini, and eventually get a look at Tuokonen and Petiot, but I have fairly realistic hopes for Kanko (some), Clarke (none) and Ryan (a footnote, for sure.)
As for my yawn... I was tired from all those goals last night.
