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.
On Monday, November 9th, The Golden Brett joined his father in the NHL Hall of Fame.

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...

He wanted to play, so he did, but it was agony, at times, after his knee was scoped three weeks before the tournament. “I...
SCOTT HARTNELL knows his bread and butter. If Wayne Gretzky's office was behind the net, the Flyers' perpetual pest has built a home just inches in front of the opposing goalie's crease, and it's paying dividends.
