We're only ten days out from the 2017-18 NHL season, and it really snuck up on us! Fortunately, the Los Angeles Kings have kept our attention with a new coach, a trip to China to beat the Canucks, plenty of preseason intrigue, and the same old guys doing some different things. With the preseason ongoing, we're calling this our first official Jewelcast of THIS season. We're also going to try having four of us on at once, which should lead to all of us agreeing on everything. (OK, that's unlikely.) James, Sarah, Robyn, and Eric of Jewels from the Crown will discuss the two preseason games in China and the one with the leftovers in Anaheim, as well as the position battles at defenseman, goaltender, and down the wings. Plus, are the additions of John Stevens and Mike Cammalleri making us more or less optimistic for the season ahead? We've also written about a bunch of prospects in the last month, and some might even make the team, so we'll chat about those dudes. Tune in at 6:30 PM Pacific until... whenever we feel like stopping.
