...Although I admit that your accent was on youthful conductors, I wish that you could have awarded more laurels to Mehli Mehta. His work with the American Youth Symphony, largely unheralded and unsung, is truly awesome.

Over the past two weeks, West teams have played twelve games against the East-winning four and tying two. Last week, with an unsung goalie named Wayne Rutledge stopping 37 shots short of the net, the surprising Los Angeles Kings upset the Toronto Maple Leafs 4-1, and thereby tied the Maple Leafs with 17 points for first place in the overall N.H.L. standings...
