Interview with WHL Scoring Champion Linden Vey

If you've been following along all season - of even half way paying attention - you know that many of the Kings prospects are having exceptional years.

Linden Vey, a fourth round pick in the 2009 NHL Draft, would have to rank right up at the top of the list, having just won the WHL scoring race on Sunday.

His 116 points (46 goals, 70 assists) helped lead the Medicine Hat Tigers to a third place finish in the WHL's Eastern Conference and they'll begin their 2011 playoffs this Friday night against the Brandon Wheat Kings.

Here's a bit of a season recap and playoff preview with the newly crowned scoring champ...

MM: So - Linden Vey, WHL scoring champion - how does that sound?

LV: Obviously it's been a long year and I wouldn't have thought at the start of the year that this is something that would be happening right now. But, it's been a good season and I have to give credit to my team. I don't think I could have done it without my team. We have a good group and we've had a good year. We reached 100 points and we've all had a good year this year.

MM: You had 24 goals in each of the last two seasons and then nearly doubled that with 46 goals this season, why the big jump? What do you attribute that to?

TRIVIA: Toronto Maple Leafs at LA Kings Preview

One of the many things separating hockey from the other major sports is that it actually has a capital. Basketball doesn't have one, nor does baseball - even though Yankee fans would tell you differently.

And regardless of the Maple Leafs' record at any given time, few in the world of hockey would disagree - except maybe those in Montreal - that the pulse of the sport can be found in Toronto.

The NHL has offices there, it's home to the Hockey Hall of Fame and even Wayne Gretzky's restaurant is in downtown Toronto.

Back in 1993 the Leafs were still in what's now the Western Conference (then the Campbell Conference), along with the Kings.

After beating Calgary and Vancouver in the first two rounds of the playoffs, LA advanced to the Conference Championship for the first (and so far, only) time in team history.

The seven game series that ensued between the Maple Leafs and Kings was as good as any ever played in the NHL.

To set the mood for tonight's LA-Toronto match-up let's do a little trivia contest from that classic series back in '93...
