45 Points in 34 Games…Is That Good?
by Quisp • • 8 Comments
Well, yes. In ’74, the Kings had 47 points (18-5-11) and, in ’80, they had 47 points (22-9-3). Those are the only two seasons that beat or equal the Kings’ current record of 21-10-3.

by Quisp • • 2 Comments
Down by three goals at one point in the second period, then trailing by two in the third, Garrett Roe played perhaps the central role in engineering Friday night’s 4-4 tie against Colorado College. We’d love to pass on his thoughts about how the Huskies did it, how he snapped a five-game goalless streak and assisted…

HockeyBuzz.com – Matthew Barry – Dustin Brown Sounds Off
by Quisp • • 4 Comments
Following practice yesterday, I asked Brown simply, is there a problem? “I think its an individual thing.” Brown began. “We’re professionals. We’re paid to come prepared to play. I think it’s something that every individual on this team, they need to come ready. Partly it’s coming together as a team but if you’re not ready…
Gare Joyce reflects on the effects of getting cut in juniors
by Quisp • • 3 Comments
I remember Mike Comrie and Matt Zultek tearing it up in the last exhibition game on the eve of the cut and yet they still got the early wake-up call. “Sour” doesn’t start to describe their reaction. Comrie has gone on to a pretty decent NHL career, although not one distinguished by team success and…
