Good morning, New York

Nope. No views, no skyline, no Munters, nothing but the opposite wing of the hotel. This view is more similar to last year’s Stanley Cup Final hotel view than the glimpse of the city we received when traveling through Manhattan on an unseasonably warm pair of days in November, 2013.

There’s a Stanley Cup rematch tonight, and the Kings have scheduled a morning skate for the second game of the back-to-back set. So instead of waxing poetic about the team’s travels and embedding a video clip about khlav kalash, I’m going to get to work on this morning’s recap. Enjoy your (early) Tuesday morning, Insiders.
