KHL’S QUIET SUPERSTAR
I’VE GOT EVERYTHING I WANT IN MAGNITOGORSK. IF EVERYTHING IS GOOD HERE, WHY NOT FINISH MY CAREER WITH METALLURG? AT THE KHL AWARDS in Moscow, Sergei Mozyakin added even more hardware to an already overflowing trophy case. His haul included trophies for the being league’s top goal scorer (32), top point-getter (67), most sportsmanlike player and, of course, most valuable player. This on top of his two Gagarin Cups as captain of Metallurg Magnitogorsk, including this year’s championship, and the five medals he’s won home with Russia at World Championship. Mozyakin, 35, has spent his entire pro career in Russia, and he has all the accomplishments worthy of being called a superstar. Mozyakin is the only man to play in every one of the league’s eight All-Star Games, and his 424 goals…
HOCKEY’S FIRST FAMILY
“AS SOON AS THE WORDS ‘C’MON, HOWE’ CAME OUT, GORDIE’S STICK LANDED ON HIS FOREHEAD BETWEEN THE EYES” – MARTY HOWE North Carolina’s Greensboro Coliseum had hosted a lot of hockey by 1973, mostly from the rough and tumble Eastern League, the minor-pro circuit that would soon inspire the film Slap Shot. The fans who came there Sept. 27 for a pre-season game between the World Hockey Association’s Houston Aeros and Los Angeles Sharks saw some of that and something more – a fabled, then 45-year-old Hall of Famer, still blessed with sufficient talent and toughness, coming out of retirement to become the first pro athlete to play alongside his sons as teammates. Ask Marty and Mark Howe to select one game as their favorite from the seven seasons (six in the…
KING OF SWEDEN
NORMALLY, HENRIK is ‘The King’ of the Lundqvist twins. For a few weeks this spring, however, brother Joel was the one receiving the royal treatment as he captained Frolunda to its first Swedish League championship in more than a decade, beating Skelleftea 4-1 in the final. At 34, Joel Lundqvist enjoyed the best season of his Swedish career, before or after his three-year stint with the Dallas Stars from 2006 to 2009. He had a career-high 19 goals and 38 points in 45 games, though an injured kneecap late in the regular season forced him to miss the first few games of the playoffs, and it took him a while to return to form and play his usual physical style. “The playoffs were a balancing act,” Lundqvist said. “You try to…
