Good morning, Glendale

Until we’re able to reinstate yesterday’s posts, it’s business as usual at the traveling headquarters of LA Kings Insider. Looking southeast from the western Phoenix suburbs through the barren desert landscape, the University of Phoenix Stadium sits in the foreground of the wide Salt River Valley horizon. To the left, a corner of Jobing.com Arena can be seen; at center there sits one hardworkin’ Munter’s Unit that was challenged by temperatures that rose to 108 degrees during last year’s Western Conference Finals. I’m anticipating light participation at today’s optional skate, which is scheduled to begin at 1:30 pm.
