HockeyBuzz.com – Matthew Barry – Kings Tie Game Late But Lose To Sharks In Shootout

By
September 18, 2009

While Murray singled out Brayden Schenn and Kyle Clifford as being “the best line out on the ice tonight, for both teams”, Murray’s biggest praised was reserved for Andrei Loktionov, who once again was outstanding. “He’s a special kind of a guy,” Murray began. “He can find people, sees the ice, makes good plays...

My ideal #2 line for 2011-2012. And Bernier’s in goal. I would like to see a 10-0 shut out, please. And a good Clune showing. That’s not asking too much, is it? Evernote lets you save all the interesting things you see online into a single place. Access all those saved pages from your...

If Only Reason Were Here/Puck Off/Slogans are Stupid

By
September 14, 2009

I actually don’t think sports teams should have slogans. It’s so “advertising department.” I think it’s funny, given that they obviously pay people money to come up...

September 12, 2009

…and I think it applies just as well to the Kings: The Oilers offered three good players for Heatley. The Oilers deal was far superior to the one that Murray accepted from San Jose. They must be cursing Heatley right now in Ottawa. Me, I’m just glad Heatley isn’t an Oiler, not because Heatley’s any...
