In our new Western Sub-Conference, we have ten teams fighting for 5 playoff spots. SJS and CHI have been expelled for being too good, EDM and CBJ for being too bad and COL is out for the moment because they’re the first seed in the NW. In other words, we’re only going to deal with…

SchoolYourPool.com | Jonathan Bernier, for real this time
by Quisp • • 9 Comments
Finally, the NHL is almost ready to call upon Jonathan Bernier. For real this time and he’s ready. The Kings drafted the 6-0, 185 lb goaltender 11th overall in 2006 and expected that he would be the man between the pipes for the Kings for many years to come. While fellow highly regarded prospects Carey…
With Ron Hextall’s Guidance, Jonathan Bernier Turning in All-Star Season for Monarchs – AHL – NESN.com
by Quisp • • 1 Comment
Even with the solid goaltending, the Monarchs still need to score, and Voynov has proven a capable threat from the blue line, sitting at fourth in the team with 21 points. The number is impressive on its own, but when you consider that he’s a 19-year-old kid from Russia who is still learning the English…
Kovalchuk Trade Offers–What Could a Trade Bring to Atlanta? – Bird Watchers Anonymous
by Quisp • • 4 Comments
Here’s a good one from a Thrashers blog, with my comments: LA gets Kovalchuk So far so good. I like it. ATL gets Braydon [sic] Schenn – Now hold on! Thomas Hickey – First of all, the guy’s name is spelled B-R-A- — what? HICKEY? Instead of Schenn? AND SCHENN? Is that all you want?…

The Kings are likely to be in a down-to-the-wire dogfight for 4th thru 8th place, with eleven teams competing for six spots. One of CGY,…

I now get why Lombardi loves Alexander Frolov – On the rare occasion when Frolov is in the locker room and he realizes he’s not going to talk about anything controversial, his personality opens up and he has a great sense of humor. In researching a piece on Sean O’Donnell I asked Frolov what Sean…

rodpedersen.com: Teubert = dad, Eberle = mom
by Quisp • • 1 Comment
Here’s a quote Pats star Jordan Eberle won’t like. It came from Pats assistant coach Shaun Sutter when I asked him this week why it took so long to put the “C” on Colten Teubert: “The first response is you just don’t know what players are going to be here. We didn’t know who was…
No, Dustin, you’re the captain of the Kings

The Olympics haven’t started yet. Bobby Ryan is not your teammate and I don’t really care if he’s your friend. BROWN: There were probably two questionable hits, with Carter on me — and whatever, that happens in a game — but probably moreso the hit at the end of the game. It’s a 4-0 game…
