KINGS COME HOME AND KICK THE DOGS 3-2

Last night’s game against the Sharks was an emotionally charged victory. Our own Surly Jacob has only partially recovered. So when our Los Angeles Kings came home tonight to play the waiting Phoenix Coyotes, some Kings fans wondered if we were going for Round II or a let down akin to the “Post Penguins” hangover [...]

It’s official – Patrick O’Neal is an idiot

He toasted Heidi Androl with his mic…and then followed it up with “I’m an idiot.”

KINGS WIN HEART THROBBER OVER SHARKS

I find myself without words. What can be said about what needs to felt? How about, HELL YES! That about sums it up. The Los Angeles Kings 5-4 overtime win against the division leading San Jose Sharks is the reason I watch hockey. Up and down action, bone rattling hits and goals, goals, goals. This [...]

VIDEO: SCOTT PARSE’S “BOBBY ORR” GOAL AGAINST THE FLAMES

A COCHLEAR PLEA

I don’t want to take anything away from the Kings’ win tonight, and I won’t. I don’t even really want to be negative, but I must. Those that attend games at Staples Center become very familiar with Dieter Ruehle’s antics. Even if you don’t know who Dieter is, you are aware of what he does; [...]

THE PLAYOFFS COME IN DECEMBER – KINGS PUT OUT THE FLAMES 2-1

The Kings haven’t had much success against the Flames and have managed to win only one in…yeah, yeah, stats are for losers. The game is played on the ice. From the opening puck drop, this game had the feel of playoff hockey.  The Kings were aggressive and gave the Flames little room to operate in [...]

THE POWER & LEGEND OF MANCHESTER MONARCHS’ FORWARD, JURAJ MIKUS

Among Kings fans, there is a continuing story line about the legend of Juraj Mikus.  Mikus is a forward with the Manchester Monarchs who was recently signed by the Kings. Recently, a poster by the name of “Cynic” on Rich Hammond’s blog shared this little gem that I will reproduce for you here. Great stuff. [...]

OSCAR MOLLER CALLED UP – CAN THE IVANANS NONSENSE PLEASE END?

There is an unconfirmed rumor (edit: it is now confirmed) that Oscar Moller is on his way to the big club. Trade?  No.  At least I hope not because each of the “rumors” I have heard out there are scarier than the other. What I hope this means is the end of the Ivanans experiment. [...]

KINGS TAKE A HEART BREAKING LOSS TO THE BLUES IN THE SHOOTOUT 5-4

Parse, Richardson, Stoll and Frolov. How is that for secondary scoring! Now, if the Kings can just get some primary scoring.  Anze Kopitar has gone the way of winter weather – cold – he cannot buy a goal.  It’s not for a lack of effort.  Our number 1 center is working hard and tonight he [...]

SACRIFICE TO BREAK THE MID DAY GAME CURSE!

At lakingnews.com, we like to think outside the box. It’s no secret that the Kings have struggled in these blasted afternoon games so we broke out our trusty “Left Pant Leg, then Right: Hockey Gods, Curses & Superstitions” and, sure enough, on page 22, we found this. “The mid day game curse generally affects warmer [...]

HOW MUCH DOES CAVEMAN ALEXANDER OVECHKIN CARE?

Here is an interview you may enjoy with Alexander Ovechkin (translated from Russian to English).  What a flirt… Interview

KINGS TO HOST 2010 NHL ENTRY DRAFT

We knew it was coming, but the NHL will officially announce Friday that the our Kings will host the 2010 NHL Draft at Staples Center on June 25-26. Per nhl.com, it will be the first time that the League’s selection process has been held in Southern California and only the third time ever on the West [...]

KINGS RULE OVER SENATORS 6-3

Winning is fun. The Kings are winning. I’m having fun. I learned a new word tonight – “shinny”.  Justin Williams referred to the Kings play as such even though they had the lead. What does it mean?  In short, a little sloppy and loose.  It’s a cross between serious and shitty.  I like it.  I [...]

HUNTING SEASON HAS BEGUN

December is a fun month. With it comes cheer, good will towards men, ancient birthdays and paid vacation time.  The Los Angeles Kings, who have generally melted in the final month of year like so many fallen stockings in the fireplace, kicked off their yule-icious tidings with an early present for the fans; a regulation win over the Donald Ducks [...]
