INSIDERS. Hello from the quarantined Rosen household, which I haven't emerged from since the wee hours. Dom, my 15-month-old, is really, really into the moon these days.

March 24, 2020 – Day 12 of Quarantine A fine Tuesday to you - if that is, in fact, what day it is. I'm being facetious, but the schedule we're currently on is even more warped than the dog-days hockey schedule when the grace and leisure normally reserved for weekends instead applies to four hours...

Few could make as much of an impact in 136 games as Felix Potvin did from February 20, 2001 to January 28, 2003, a span in which he went 61-52-16 with a 2.35 goals-against average and a .905 save percentage. Those numbers don’t exactly jump off the page to the same degree as his 9.24 goals-saved ... Full Story

LA Kings Legacy CollectionThere’s an underdog quality to both the late 1990’s LA Kings, who had to battle and scratch and claw for recognition, and one of that era’s unlikely key protagonists, 1995 third round draft pick Vladimir Tsyplakov.

This story, a follow-up to 2015's Dwight King: Why Does He Smile So Much? is something I’ve actually wanted to write for a little bit. Going back, it always seemed as though the Kings’ goal celebrations were, on the curve, more subdued than the average NHL team's. Perhaps this is up for debate; ther... Full Story

Several quick notes from a practice day in New Jersey. The LA Kings bused across the Hudson and changed in their dressing rooms before trekking down a short corridor of the Prudential Center, the National Hockey League’s most labyrinthine building.
