Battle of California

Eric Duhatschek muses on the LA Kings and their imminent resurgence. I always had a soft spot for the Kings, and its nice to see them poised to take the next step. Jiri Hudler may be obliged to play in Detroit this season, after all, due to his filing for salary arbitration. Interesting comments from the IIHF. An update from Battle of California, noting that the Kings have invited Slovakian Jurajj Mikus to camp. His point totals are impressive, even for the Slovakian league. Psycho Lady Hockey offers up the hockey dictionary. Pretty amusing stuff and I encourage you to check out this blog. I came across a link to this gem on a website devoted to Wisconsin Badger hockey. Give it a read. Some easy reading to give you a laugh on Friday afternoon. Infrequent IC contributor Amanda Kosior gets a shout on Tampa Bay Exposed, where the writer is taking offense to hockey cheerleaders. I can see both sides of this argument, but really, the cheerleaders aren't hurting anyone. If you don't like them, they are easily ignored. I am still a purist when it comes to games, and long for the days of organ music for entertainment, but if the cheerleaders help sell tickets, they are here to stay. The Manitoba Moose have won several more AHL awards, including the top executive nod for GM Craig Heisinger. Well deserved award. The organization is hard-working, top to bottom.
