Things certainly came to an abrupt end here. The furious pace of training camp ended when the team left for Denver last night, and left behind all the writers in Los Angeles. It’s terribly frustrating for Matt or myself not to be able to travel, and if I say any more than that I might get in trouble with the people who distribute my paychecks. So, yeah.

I’m trying to organize something with the Kings’ PR folks so that I can talk to Crawford on a regular basis, or at least have access to what he’s saying in media sessions. That will be the best way to remain plugged in while the team is away. I’ll do what I can.

To that end, I’ve put out a message seeking info about why Cammalleri didn’t play late. I would imagine it’s the same as many folks have been saying…that they just wanted to get a look at other guys, but when I hear something more official, I’ll let everyone know.
