A fine Monday afternoon to you and yours, Insiders. We got outside on a beautiful Sunday and let the kids run around at a park up the hill from us that recently opened its gates again. I’m pretty amazed by how resilient our kids have been, but romping through a huge patch of grass and getting a litt... Full Story

INSIDERS. I hope you're all hanging in. Haven't been lingering in these parts for more than a few minutes lately, what with all the news a-happenin' and the children a-quarrelin', but I trust you and your family are doing as best you can. My family's condolences, love and light to anybody who has lo... Full Story

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. Moon is one of about 50 or 60 words he knows, so we like to give it a good look in the early evening and morning hours. It's been ... Full Story

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. Tsyplakov, who debuted a week after signing his first N... Full Story

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

Good morning, Colorado Springs, and good morning, Insiders. The Springs! I already shared a few thoughts in a short Twitter thread this morning, but it's special to be back in such a beautiful city and accommodated within a plush and charming resort that I have to admit provides a better view tha...

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. It’s a busy week. They traveled, they played, they ... Full Story

INSIDERS. We are very much in flight. It should be a crisp 3:57 to Washington-Dulles, which seems a touch on the short side, and I’m wondering if those heavy winds across the Southland this morning are part of a stream of tail winds whisking us across the continent faster than usual. Some notes to ... Full Story
