Gary Lawless: Captain is leading by darn fine example

“Ladd has money and two Stanley Cup rings, but remains driven. He’s a pro in his approach and works hard on a daily basis.”

Ken Wiebe: Jets down Kings 5-2

“In the contest, the Jets did an excellent job winning puck battles, used their speed throughout, outhit the Kings 31-29, blocked more shots (14-7) and carried a good chunk of the play, despite winning only 35 per cent of the draws.”
