Besides being the base of the design for the Kings latest logo, the home plate is also the foundation for Terry Murray's entire hockey system. A shape that is supposed to allow 5 players to maximize their coverage of the ice, keeping the opposition from entering the area in the middle.

KINGS @ OTTAWA SENATORS GAME PREVIEW
November 22, 2010 By
Here we go again with one of those must/should/better/will-win games. While not one of the teams stuck in the 2010 fall doldrums, the Ottawa Senators are a below .500 team with a record of 9-10-1 through 20 games.

October 23, 2010 By
