I don't know the man on a personal level but I think I'm a fairly good judge of character. I have listened to him, watched him, spoken with him and I get the sense Dean Lombardi is an obsessively hard-working guy...one of those guys whose brain won't shut off. The type where he could be in a discussion with his wife about dinner or her day, but he doesn't hear a thing she says because his mind is … [Read more...]
L.A. Kings vs Winnipeg Jets Open Forum & A Cup Check Doughty Inspired Top 10

An agreement to sell the National Hockey League’s … [Read more...]
