WebCore, Rap Metal, Waitrons, and Kings in Trouble

WebCore

Safari Newsflash: WebCore

Kings in trouble? Nah, really?

Kings president says team is in trouble

Oh yeah, and they’re losing money, too. Oh, it was the money you were talking about?

While the current problems of the Ottawa Senators and the Buffalo Sabres are largely attributable to flawed ownership structures, the Kings are the NHL’s worst nightmare: a deep-pocketed club in a large market and a brand-new building that apparently cannot make money. "I’m just speaking on behalf of the Kings, but we can’t continue to operate like this," Leiweke said from Los Angeles. "No good businessman can do that."….
