He left his heart in…Stockholm?

It’s now a rainy mid-afternoon in Stockholm, and the Kings will be on the ice for practice at 4 p.m. local time (7 a.m. in Los Angeles). Among the traveling group of staff members, spirits seem to be much improved after yesterday’s day off. There were lots of tales of late sleeping and some nice sightseeing. Speaking of which, I took a long walk through Stockholm’s Gamla stan — The Old Town — had some breakfast and took a ton of pictures, which I will post a bit later. Upon arriving back at the hotel entrance, I saw a crowd seeking autographs and pictures. I wondered which player it might be, and…it was Tony Bennett. Here he is. More updates to come from practice shortly…
