&lt;p&gt;Fresh off the LA Kings wrapping up a 3-1-1 road trip through the Eastern Conference, Mayor&amp;#8217;s Minutes returned to NHL Network Radio this week. John Hoven joined Jake Hahn and Victoria Matiash to share a new crop of opinions on everything from Anze Kopitar&amp;#8217;s recent record setting performance, to the play of Darcy Kuemper in net, as well as what Artemi Panarin&amp;#8217;s offensive contribution is adding to the team&amp;#8217;s recent surge. Later in the conversation, the trio also discussed to what it&amp;#8217;s been like for LA&amp;#8217;s hockey club as they adjust to life with DJ Smith behind the bench, and they even ventured a bit into some World Cup of Hockey and World Baseball Classic chatter.&lt;/p&gt;
