Los Angeles Kings forward Kyle Clifford is known for taking — and receiving — some of the most punishing checks in the NHL. He lists teammates Dustin Brown and Matt Greene among the hardest hitters in the game. Who are his hardest-hitting opponents?
- Ryane Clowe
- Milan Lucic
- Niklas Kronwall
- Cal Clutterbuck
- Alexander Ovechkin
Lake of the Woods, known more as a remote wildlife habitat straddling Minnesota and Canada, is also a summer favorite of Los Angeles Kings center Mike Richards. The former Flyers captain has become an avid wakeboarder/wakesurfer at the lake when he's not on the ice. "It’s starting to" catch on, Richards said. "It’s relaxing to get out there with all your friends and spend a day on the lake."

The Secret Season: Final report.
Author: Bruce Mason
Part 6 in a series. Read parts 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.
SUBURBAN VANCOUVER – We had to take cover and bail the oncoming assault of mortars from you-know-who.
Red alert? This was more like taking shelter for a tornado-tsumani-earthquake disaster that opened the Earth and swallowed your soul.
Our Secret League threatened the NHL’s existence as the final grains of sand sifted through the time capsule and the NHL season threatened to die.
And then the NHL took action and launched a full-scale war.
Our “location” was no longer a secret: They discovered we were in suburban Vancouver.

The Secret Season begins.
Author: Bruce Mason
Part two in a series. Read part 1 here.
DATELINE UNKNOWN – It probably wasn’t a good idea to house the Montreal Canadiens and Boston Bruins in adjacent buildings. Players from both sides engaged in a war of words in the village commons that transpired into fisticuffs and caused a ruckus so crash-banging loud, it awoke the entire complex.
Sigh.
We’re new at this, but what a numbskull decision.

For two hours today, I didn’t miss the NHL.
Author: J.P. Hoornstra
Like some of you, I watched my first KHL game today.
Praha Lev was playing Dynamo Moscow. ESPN2 was airing the game for some reason — because it can, I suppose. Alex Ovechkin, Zdeno Chara, Marian Hossa and a few other former/fringe NHLers whose names I recognized were playing. Two were named Juraj Mikus, so I only give myself half credit there, but so far the KHL has done a pretty good job of keeping Europe’s best league free of expat NHLers. Barry Melrose was the color commentator. You’d be wrong if you said this was unwatchable.
In fact, for a couple hours this afternoon, I didn’t miss hockey. If ESPN2’s sole purpose for televising this game was so that I would end up writing that sentence and scaring the crap out of Gary Bettman, Bill Daly, Jeremy Jacobs, et. al., it succeeded.
To that end, here are five things I discovered I liked about the KHL.
