Kopitar may generate Selke discussion
As the Los Angeles Kings attempted to revitalize their stalled offense over the past month, and as the team slipped from the more comfortable sixth or seventh place perch to toeing the line of the playoff barrier, center Anze Kopitar weathered the most advanced criticism faced in a six-year NHL career that began as a 19-year old rookie in 2006-07.
Though selected to two All-Star...

During the broadcast of the Kings dash for the playoffs, Bob Miller interviewed Jack Johnson.
"When I came here they changed the way I played and I didn't really want to do that. It took me a while to learn. Since I've been traded, they let me play the way I want to play."
Jack Johnson's goal beat the Kings tonight.
I wonder if Anze Kopitar feels the...

Jacket fans boo Carter, then go home happy
In one sense, the Blue Jackets wanted to forget Jeff Carter's 39-game career in Columbus. Fans were welcomed, free of charge, to have the No. 7 sweaters stripped off Carter's last name and replaced with the club's new No. 7, defenseman Jack Johnson.

When the Blue Jackets signed winger Jeff Carter this past offseason, Columbus fans had plenty of reason to be excited. Carter was supposed to give them a perennial 30-goal scorer to play alongside Rick Nash and anchor one of the better lines in hockey for years to come. The marriage lasted only 39 games, with Carter becoming a malcontent and forcing his way out of town. Eventually...

When you are a kid... you dream of one day winning the Stanley Cup and becoming a NHL Hall of Famer. When you are a middle-aged adult with disposable income... you drop the cash to play with former professional hockey players who have won the Stanley Cup and are NHL Hall of Famers. And this past weekend, yours truly did just that. When I signed up for the Los Angeles Kings Fantasy...

from Shawn Mitchell of the Columbus Dispatch, Johnson is no Jeremy Lin. He plays for a last-place team in Columbus. David Letterman’s people are not on line 2.
But there is no denying the minor mania that has followed his arrival after he was acquired from the Los Angeles Kings last month for center Jeff Carter.
On Thursday, when Johnson got the winning goal against Carter and...

Blue Jackets swap nameplates on Carter jersey
Not too long ago in a land on the eastern part of the United States, there was a team in total turmoil. There was a general manager who was dumping long-term contracts, players who weren't living up to expectations, and a media department that dug itself into a hole in the public eye. And while the Columbus Blue Jackets luck hasn't changed all that much since that point,...
