Mini-Playoffs The Phoenix Coyotes and the Anaheim Ducks were dealt an interesting hand due to the abbreviated season. In five nights, the Pacific Division rivals would see each other three times.

With the lockout now in full swing, there is plenty of time to revisit one of the most controversial moments of last season’s Stanley Cup playoffs. We all certainly remember the hit. The setting: game five of the Western conference finals between the eighth-seeded Los Angeles Kings and the third-seeded Phoenix Coyotes, with the Kings ...
