Dallas Stars head coach Glen Gulutzan doesn’t think Dan Girardi Authentic Jersey organized bounties on opposing players is part of hockey’s culture.The New Orleans Saints received significant sanctions from the NFL on Wednesday — including losing head coach Sean Payton to suspension for the entire 2012 season — after it was revealed the team paid players for injuring opponents.“I have never heard of it in my days being around rinks. I’ve never seen it. I don’t think it’s a problem,” Gulutzan told the Dallas Morning News. “There’s Carl Hagelin Authentic Jersey no internal, ‘Let’s get this guy’ talk.“But they know who the best players are, and come this time of year, they’re going to play them hard. Sometimes that crosses the line, and sometimes it doesn’t. But as far as something organized, I’ve never seen it in hockey.”Kings enjoying playoff Erik Karlsson Authentic Jersey jockeying.Riding a six-game winning streak, the Los Angeles Kings had 86 points and sat in third place in the Western Conference heading into Friday’s action.However, the Pacific Division leaders are hardly secure in a playoff position.

Well, it’s really Tim Tebow Jets Jersey a case of simple math.First, let’s start by saying it’s a moot point to debate whether anyone who has never scored 30 goals in an NHL season or topped the 60-point plateau is "worth" more than $5 million a year, as is the case with Grabovski.What is more illuminating is to examine the two teams’ options Peyton Manning Youth Jersey when it came to these players and what were their relative needs.They’re just one point ahead of eighth-place Dallas and are in a four-way fight for the division lead with Phoenix (86 points), Dallas (85) and San Jose (84).With Colorado (85) and Calgary (84) still in Gabriel Landeskog Jersey the playoff hunt, the it’s conceivable anywhere from one to three of the Pacific contenders will make the playoffs.“It’s certainly great for hockey. It’s great for the fans and it’s good for our players for experience on how to handle different situations,” Ron Hextall, the Kings’ assistant general manager, told the Los Angeles Times of the playoff race.“Our players have been through a lot the last couple of years, but right now this is excellent experience.

This is going to help our guys down the line.”Minnesota Wild defenceman Patrick Kane Authentic Jersey Jared Spurgeon will miss the rest of the season due to a concussion. . . . The Phoenix Coyotes signed Scott Arnold to a two-year entry-level contract.

Dallas, which had been leading the Marian Hossa Authentic Jersey division, opened the door with its 2-1 loss at home to Vancouver. Then, in a series of late-finishing dominoes, Phoenix hung on to defeat Colorado, San Jose outlasted Boston and Los Angeles beat St. Louis in a shootout.The net result was that the Kings took over the lead in the Pacific and now all four contenders have held the top spot within the last 30 days. The Kings have won six in a row and are 8-2 in March.It was no surprise that the Kings and Blues played to a scoreless duel through 65 minutes on Thursday.
