  Intermission Report » 2013 NHL Awards: Vezina Trophy

   I like to think that in hockey you’re only as good as the guy in front of the net aka the Goalie. Your offense can be great but if your Goaltender isn’t stopping the pucks on the other end of the ice, then you’re going to find yourself in trouble.

  Intermission Report » Defending Champs Lose Game One

  The Los Angeles Kings lost their first game of the postseason to the St. Louis Blues. St. Louis hosted the game (the Kings evidently like playing the underdog, even if this year they found themselves in the fifth seed weather than the eighth). Home ice appeared to be an advantage in this game, as the Blues severely tested goaltender Jonathan Quick, firing over 40 shots on goal. (Definitely not up to the Kings usual defensive standard.)
  Alexander Steen scored the first goal of the game about halfway through the first period during a Blues power play. Brian Elliott (the Blues netminder) held onto a shutout for 59.5 minutes, until Justin Williams finally broke through for the Kings. During overtime, while Kevin Shattenkirk was serving a double minor for high sticking, Alexander Steen once more took control of the puck. Seeing an opportunity, he carried it in to the offensive zone shorthanded, and proceeded to score his second goal of the game.
  This definitely wasn’t the Kings best game, but I don’t think it was absolutely awful. While they were definitely outperformed in the faceoff circle, they actually had more takeaways as a team than St. Louis (and fewer giveaways).

  Intermission Report » 2013 NHL Awards: Lady Byng

  It’s awards season, and it’s time for me to talk to you about the Lady Byng Memorial Trophy. This trophy (if it doesn’t sound familiar) is awarded to the player who is judged to be “most gentlemanly” while also performing at a high standard. It’s not necessarily a trophy that players are all vying to earn (after all, this is a sport that encourages bare-knuckle fighting), but I think it is a bit underrated. There are a number of players who play hard, are assets to their teams, and stay within the rules. As such, it seems only fair to acknowledge this characteristic of their play.

  This is the fourth year that this award is being presented in Las Vegas, going to the General Manager that has been the best in the league for the calendar season. As we all know, team’s wouldn’t be in their respective positions without their GM’s. For some that’s a good thing while others, well, they speak for themselves.
