Rookie camp, Day 3
Things will be a little light from me today and tomorrow, because I also have to go cover football practice in a couple hours. But I managed to grab interviews with Brady Murray and Brian Boyle, and I'll do my best to get those videos online before I hit the road. And I haven't forgotten about the transcripts of yesterday's interviews...those will get done at some point also.
Also, Anze Kopitar joined the veterans today for their skate. I don't believe he had been there for the first two days. If he was, I missed him!

Thanks Rich. Youb really are a Godsend to Kings fans.
Rich,
looking fwd to your interviews. I was at the practice today from 11-12 and noticed O'sullivan was with the vet's also....was he with the rook's earlier as well? I also noticed that Armstrong was running the practice while the coaches kept their eyes on the rooks, any word if he will be named captain? From what i observed, it sure looks that way.
Thx again
Thanks for the interviews Rich. Once again the only place we can get Kings news on a regular basis.
Kopitar was with his father's team Jesenice, practicing for a bit at home in Slovenia.
