"Moving forward" is not a defined prescription. LA is still a very strong and skilled team and they can do significant damage in the playoffs. Yesterday was an indication - they played a very good, solid game. Why not milk it and take advantage of it? The more they can get out of the machine, the better. All NHL teams go through extended slump periods and emerge from them at some point or another after years of sucking. Accelerating the slump is not wise. Investing in repairs could bring a much better results when the structure is still holding up well.
