Don has brought another great new feature to the site, in which he will attempt to catch up with as many former Kings greats as possible. He started with a good one, as he tracked down Bernie Nicholls, best known for his 70-goal season in 1988-89. In the interview, Nicholls talks about some of his glory days and gives an update about what he's up to these days.

As a bit of a refresher, here's one of Nicholls' more memorable goals from that 1988-89 season.
