Hello again! I’ve missed you.
Kings Help Charities
- Jessica Redfield’s brother has set up a scholarship in her honor. AEG helped out with $10,000; now their goal is to double the seed money so others can live her dream. More info at Jessica Redfield Fund.

Questions to kick around:
1. I wouldn’t have minded if the Kings had signed Semin, but gave it up as a hopeless cause several months ago. Should Lombardi have given Semin a one-year deal instead of chasing Doan?
2. How will the Red Wings deal with the loss of Lidstrom and the failure to land Suter? Where do you see them in the West next season?
3. Will the status-quo Kings win the Pacific next year?
4. Favorite fro yo flavor to eat out of the Stanley Cup? Dang, I’m hungry!
