LOS ANGELES — Jonathan Marchessault’s philosophy on winning in the playoffs is similar to that old TV commercial about eating a Reese’s peanut butter cup.
There’s no wrong way to do it.
But the Golden Knights forward does prefer one method over the other.
“We want to be a fast team,” he said Monday. “And I would rather be a fast team than a heavy team in 2018. That’s what we have.”
The prevailing storyline at the start of this Western Conference quarterfinal series was whether the Knights, who relied on their speed to capture the Pacific Division title, would hold up to the physical pounding that historically comes with playing in the postseason.
