It has been suggested that every time I mention Andrei Loktionov’s play in New Jersey, it’s some kind of vindictive “I told you so.” It’s not. I did tell you so, but it’s not. I post about the players I enjoy watching, and I can’t just switch off my interest in a player because he suddenly...

Henrique on Loktionov: “He’ll be here in no time.”
Devils center Adam Henrique predicted that Andrei Loktionov, acquired in a trade with the Los Angeles Kings on Wednesday, will be in the NHL in no time. Loktionov and Henrique were junior teammates on the 2008-09 Windsor (OHL) team that won the Memorial Cup. I loved that team. Henrique, Loktionov, Taylor Hall… “He’s a...

Why was it stupid to trade Andrei Loktionov? Let’s review
Yesterday Dean Lombardi traded the most NHL-ready playmaker in the Kings prospect pool to New Jersey for a 5th round draft pick. Ever since Lombardi inexplicably chose not to petition to have Loktionov’s name engraved on the cup (while simultaneously petitioning for Davis 9 games Drewiske and Kevin 25 games Westgarth) we’ve been waiting...

“Doesn’t rise to the level of unforgivable sin”
Rich Hammond doesn't think Loktionov's omission is all that bad in the scheme of things. But why didn't the Kings at least petition to have him included? What's the risk in that? The league might say no?

Do the Right Thing, Dean! (part two)
So, today the HHOF released the first picture of the Kings’ names engraved on the Stanley Cup. Imagine my ecstasy when I saw that the picture did indeed include the name of Andrei Loktionov! There it was, tacked onto the end of the last row, the only player’s name to be out of alphabetical...

Hey, Dean (Luc, Tim, Mrs. A…), it’s (probably) not too late to do the right thing
The names may not be engraved on the cup yet. You might possibly still be able to change the list and put Andrei Loktionov’s name on. Here is a comment by Niesy, promoted from the “Loktionov Omission is Unconscionable” post. This is an org that is supposedly all about “We love each other, there...
