When I saw the headline, "Stevens to L.A.", I thought, "Scott Stevens? Wait...Kevin, no... Darren? I couldn't think of any other Stevenses.
Stevens headed to Kings? | Philadelphia Inquirer | 06/17/2010
The Los Angeles Kings could be close to adding former Flyers coach John Stevens as an assistant. The Kings, also known as Flyers West, have been granted permission to talk with Stevens, the Los Angeles Times reported. The Kings already have three of their leaders who previously worked for the Flyers: Head coach Terry Murray, general manager Dean Lombardi and assistant general manager Ron Hextall.
Oh, right, okay. There is a contingent of the commentosphere that jumps all over any Philly-related acquisition (Terry Murray, Ron Hextall, Justin Williams, Michal Handzus, Denis Gauthier, Randy Jones, Jaroslav Modry, Kyle Calder, Sean Burke) as some kind of sacreligious offense committed by Dean Lombardi, also proof that he's not really "a King" or something. So I will enjoy watching the sparks fly, although it probably won't be as fun as the anticipation.
Philly West, on Westwood Blvd, has the best cheese-steaks in Los Angeles. I've been going "there" (although there have been three locations that I know of) for 27 years. I should have gone there to watch the cup finals. They are sports fiends.

Brain transplant
As a kings fan transplanted in philly, it’s always fun to watch the flyers fans get so excited over their team. Watching the cup finals with philly fans was almost as good as watching the kings make the playoffs this year.
John Stevens
He was a good guy, probably scapegoated a bit after the Flyers’ horror start to the season. You guys should like him; he was very good at developing young players. However, he wasn’t very much the disciplining type.
And more importantly, the more former Flyers in the Kings team and front office, the greater likelihood that the Kings will help us in our twenty three year quest for a franchise goalie ;)

Philly West, huh?
Interesting. There’s a small chain out on the East side of LA County called Philly’s Best. Excellent, melt-in-your-mouth cheesesteaks.
There is also an excellent cheesesteak place in Tempe, a couple of blocks away from the ASU campus, called Corleone’s….
Too Many Cheese Steaks
Visited that site, one comment is hilarious

Yeah, both teams would lose out there, I know Kings fans love their young prospects, but from what I’ve seen you are kind of overvaluing them a bit when you consider Jeff Carter scored 46 goals in 2008, and plays good defense, PP and PK. Just sayin’
But that trade really would not help either of us.

Well, Stevens would be an upgrade over Hardy in my opinion.

Sorry Philly West
But, if you really want to try SoCal’s best cheesesteak, take a short drive up the coast to Ventura and check out Great Central Steak & Hoagie. It is unbelievable how great they are!
