Brother Trouble in Anaheim?

Wow. Over in Anaheim, Rob Niedermayer is in coach Randy Carlyle’s dog house. You don’t often see a respected veteran benched like Niedermayer was. I’m most surprised because of Niedermayer’s connection to his brother, Ducks defenseman Scott Niedermayer. It’s well-documented that Scott joined...

Avs Find Goaltending But Lose Everything Else
