What’s Normal, These Days?
On a night when the fires in LA are starting to be long-term issues rather than immediate threats, the LA Kings played their first home game since two weeks ago, when they had a game versus Calgary postponed due to the tragedy. Despite an emphasis on returning to the “normal,” the team didn’t forget, not by a long shot.

What’s New In Anaheim?
What’s new with the Ducks? Last we checked, they were beating some teams they weren’t supposed to beat, making a little noise way out west. John Gibson was holding forth in net, backed up more than capably by Lukas Dostal. And Frank Vatrano signed an 18-million-dollar contract extension which will keep him in Anaheim for three more years…

HOCKEY HISTORY
Retro Rangers: One Man’s Fantasy is Another’s Reality
Raise your hand if you ever fantasized about practicing with the Rangers and having a couple of beers with them later on. Well, our fantasies became Gene “Scoop” Koerner’s reality as he did that and much more when he became the Blueshirts practice goalie in the 1970s.
Retro Rangers: Bower and “Gump” Had Much in Common (Part 2 of 2)
Goaltenders Lorne “Gump” Worsley and Johnny Bower had a lot in common. Both made their NHL debuts with the New York Rangers in the 1950s, both have earned multiple Vezina Trophies, both are members of the NHL Hall of Fame and both played into their 40s and won four Stanley Cups during their long playing careers. And of course both also had to leave New York to achieve their future success.

NHL 25 is due out tomorrow, and it marks the 34th iteration of EA’s hockey video game (dating back to the initial “NHL Hockey” released for Sega Genesis). Featuring the Hughes brothers (Jack, Quinn and Luke) on the cover, here’s a look at what to expect from NHL 25.
NHL 24 Fails to Deliver
The latest edition of EA Sports’ NHL hockey video game series – NHL 24 – is available now on PlayStation and Xbox. Last season’s release was quite disappointing, and our hope was that NHL 24 would represent a huge leap forward and take full advantage of next-generation console power. Unfortunately, it falls short and disappoints again this time, in some even more critical ways.
