They have him listed as a center. Don't know anything about him except what I read. Thanks for the corrected info.

"The Kings simultaneously became one of the most unexpected and most dominant champions in the history of the Stanley Cup". How cool is it to have these phrases together in the same sentence?! Not only did the Kings win the Stanley Cup at long last, but the way they did it distinguishes them even among other Cup winners.

A nice crop coming up, now what about Parse ?

Exactly. That's why you won't find many, outside of the insane Canuck fan, who can question the validity of this Cup run. The Kings pretty much embarrassed every team they played. Going up 3-0 in every series with the first two games being on the road will never happen again. It's almost unfathomable. To put it into perspective, the Devils had 4 total losses after the 2nd round. The mighty Canucks had 6 total losses before reaching the SCF last year. I would've taken 16-12, but 16-4 is historic.

Thank you for posting these. In a summer that has been magical it is nice to see others think that the magic could very well continue.

Even more impressive is that there is a lot more parity league-wide than in years past.
