Crawford talks Game 2
Thanks to Thomas LaRocca of the Kings for passing along the second part of the Marc Crawford Stanley Cup Finals podcast. Here's the link...
Also, we'll have a series of interviews in the next couple days. I talked today to Patrick O'Sullivan, who said that contract negotiations with the Kings are progressing but that he doesn't consider a deal to be imminent. I'll have the whole interview up tomorrow. Also, Don has tracked down Daniel Taylor and is trying to get a couple other prospects this week.

Rich Hammond has covered the Kings, on a full-time or part-time basis, since the 2000-01 season. He was the beat writer for the entire John Torchetti era and has witnessed Bob Miller singing country music in a Nashville honky-tonk bar. A native of Los Angeles, Rich has worked at the Daily News since 1999 and also serves as the paper's deputy sports editor. E-mail Rich at
Jill Painter joined the Daily News in 2000 and during the last eight years she's covered the Dodgers, Cal State Northridge, UCLA, Kings, golf and everything in between. Even though she's from Colorado, she still freezes in the Staples Center press box but always manages to thaw her fingers in time to make deadline. E-mail Jill at 

Why the hell would NHL.com ask a moron like Crawford how he feels about the freakin Stanley Cup Playoffs. He's an idiot who got lucky he won one. I guess no one else would be up to talk like a prick like Crawfish.
Sooooooo.... how do you reeeaaallly feel about Coach.
