Kings' GM Dean Lombardi Fined $50K for Questioning Integrity of NHL Official
By Alan Adams - AOL NewsLos Angeles Kings general manager Dean Lombardi was slapped with a $50,000 fine on Friday -- one of the stiffest fines on an NHL coach in recent memory for his comments questioning the integrity of league vice president Mike Murphy. A frustrated Lombardi was unhappy with Murphy's decision to uphold a goal by Phoenix Coyotes forward Martin Hanzal in a game against the Kings on Thursday. It appeared that Hanzal directed the puck into net with a high stick but the on-ice officials ruled it a good goal. A lengthy review by the NHL's video review office in Toronto proved inconclusive and thus the ...
Dean Lombardi, Kings GM, Facing Discipline for Critical Comments
By Bruce Ciskie - AOL NewsThe Los Angeles Kings started the season well, but not much has gone right as of late. Their latest loss came Thursday night, when Phoenix beat them 2-0 at Staples Center. The game wasn't without controversy, though it really didn't erupt until after it had ended. Midway through the second period, Phoenix took a 1-0 lead on a goal by Martin Hanzal. The goal was allowed to stand, even though it appears obvious on replay that the puck was played with a high stick. After the game, Kings general manager Dean Lombardi and coach Terry Murray unloaded on NHL Hockey Operations, which made the ...
Opinion: When Political Pundits Go Bad
By John Merline - AOL News(Nov. 2) -- If there's one certainty after this election, is that political pundits will be out in full force, offering their expert opinions on what it all means, and boldly predicting the future health and well-being of the two political parties. Should anyone listen to them? Or would you be better off heading over to the local fortune teller? Given the track record of some pundits, that's a tough call. Consider how well the punditocracy did after the last big election in 2008. That one saw President Barack Obama win and Democrats expand their majorities in the House and Senate. And it ...
Indiana Primary: Four Against Former Sen. Dan Coats in One of Many GOP Slugfests
By Robert Schmuhl - Politics DailySOUTH BEND, Indiana -- Today's Indiana primary could once again prove the political unpredictability of Hoosier voters, who in the 2006 midterm flipped three of the state's U.S. House seats from the Republicans to the Democrats, and in 2008 favored Barack Obama, the first time a Democratic presidential candidate had won here since Lyndon Johnson in 1964. While this year's primary is ho-hum for Democrats, Republicans across the state are energetically violating Ronald Reagan's 11th commandment about speaking ill of any fellow member of the GOP. Former Sen. Dan Coats is on the receiving end ...

Call It the Curse of Barry Melrose: Tampa Bay Gets Robbed in Shootout
By Adam Gretz - AOL NewsHere's the situation: Tampa Bay and Colorado skate to a 1-1 tie through regulation and overtime, leading to a shootout. The first three attempts result in no goals, setting the stage for Colorado's Milan Hejduk to take on Lightning goalie Mike Smith. As you can see in the video above, Smith makes the save on Hejduk, only to have the officials huddle up and award a goal to Hejduk -- the game-winning goal, as it turns out -- because Smith "threw his stick." Seriously? Are we watching the same video? Judging by the replay shown, it appears that the stick comes out of Smith's hand after he makes ...
Hot Mic: Pundits Caught Bashing McCain's Choice
By Christopher Weber - Politics DailyThe first rule of being on television is even when the mics are supposedly off, never say anything you wouldn't say on camera. Because only the engineers know when the mics are really off. Wall Street Journal columnist Peggy Noonan and Time columnist Mike Murphy forgot that rule after appearing with NBC's Chuck Todd and were caught on tape disparaging John McCain's pick of Sarah Palin for VP. Murphy -- a former McCain adviser -- says the choice is "cynical" and "gimmicky." Noonan's opinion is even stronger. PN: It's over. MM: Still McCain can give a version of the Lieberman speech to do ...
