Audio: Manchester coach Mike Stothers joins LAKI

At the time of this interview, the Manchester Monarchs led the Eastern Conference with 60 points – though they’ve since ceded the top spot to the Syracuse Crunch, who have won four in a row. Speaking on behalf of the Monarchs’ success is Head Coach Mike Stothers, who joined LA Kings Insider at Saturday’s Kings-Bruins game to discuss the buy-in he’s received from his players, Nick Shore’s play at both the AHL and NHL levels, and how Mike Richards has impacted the Manchester dressing room. Before you start your Sunday festivities, you’ll want to give this a listen.
