AHL opening weekend

There may well be 100 regular young NHLers playing in the AHL this season during the work stoppage, but not a one of them who was full-time -- not Ryan Nugent-Hopkins nor Jordan Eberle nor Alex Burmistrov nor Cody Hogdson -- yet ranks in the league's list of top 10 scorers through the first weekend. Cory Conacher of the Syracuse Crunch leads the scoring charge through two regular-season games with five points.

Kings blogger bolts

Rich Hammond, who wrote for the L.A. Kings' website as a reporter and commentator, has left the job to return to the newspaper industry, now working for the Orange County Register covering college sports. Hammond, technically also an employee of the NHL, left his post not coincidentally after reports that the league wanted at least one story removed after the lockout began, a story in which he quoted a Kings player. Hammond thanked the team in departure and made a point to say he'd never been censored or directed what to write in his three seasons on the job.
