Why I prefer to just say no to Doan

By
July 10, 2012

Going into next season with the roster intact (which, by the way, is some kind of miracle) is a silver lining inside a cloud no-one is talking about yet. The conventional wisdom is that a huge contributing factor to Stanley Cup hangover is the fact that the team has just played 100+ games compared to...

July 4, 2012

Of the six left wings mentioned -- Brown, Penner, Gagne, King, Nolan and Clifford -- one of them (Gagne) is almost certain to leave after next season (if he can even make it through 2012-13 healthy), and another (Penner) is not any kind of lock to return after next year either. I would say,...

Ken Hitchcock would have you believe that the Kings are the favorites in their upcoming series with his St. Louis Blues. Hitchcock suggests that knocking off the number one team makes you the number one team. He wants to transfer the entire weight of suddenly inflated expectations to the massively-overmatched and humble Los Angeles...
