He says he'll 'try to keep it in mind.' But with only four goals so far this season, the veteran winger will try to raise his game a notch. Wayne Gretzky once said, "One hundred percent of the shots you don't take don't go in," and in a game that featured 39 shots by the Kings on Wednesday, Alexander Frolov nearly gave himself a 100% chance of not scoring.

It's not every day a former member of the Penguins gets inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame. Even if he was only in Pittsburgh for one season ( a lockout-shortened one at that ), Luc Robitaille was a member of the Penguins. And he gets the call to the Hockey Hall of Fame today. To say the least, Robitaille was a long shot to make the NHL, let alone, the Hockey Hall of Fame. The Kings took him as...

from Eric Duhatschek of the Globe and Mail, Hockey Hall of Fame induction ceremonies will take place in Toronto beginning this weekend and the question that’s got everybody abuzz in hockey circles right now is, will he or won’t he?
