The Hockey Writers discuss the Los Angeles Kings’ defense:
“The parallels between hockey and war are striking.
Witness the overarching themes of offense and defense, of attacking versus defending. There are also the moment-by-moment battles: puck control, ebb-and-flow, scrums, body checks, firing shots, physical sacrifices, and defending the net at all costs. Finally, combatants square off — literally — almost every single game.
Even the season can be characterized in the same fashion. Every game is a major battle; the season itself a war. There are winners and losers throughout, and in the end, one reigns supreme over the rest.

The boy smiled, kissed his mother on the cheek and stuffed his sandwich into his mouth before making his way back to the front door with which he entered. The mother wished him good luck for the game and hoped he wasn’t going to get in trouble from the coach again due to his soon to be late arrival to the arena, especially for such an important game. The boy stopped at the doorway and looked back at his mom with a smirk and said, “No worries Mom, I’ve got this!”
