KINGS FINISH PERFECT ROAD TRIP WITH A 3-2 VICTORY OVER THE DEVILS

The Devils are a talented group of players and for all the accolades showered upon our Kings by their announcers, we offer the same in return with sincerity. The first period saw both teams generate chances with one exception – New Jersey kept their shots on goal and the Kings kept shooting wide. Apart from [...]

TEAM OF DESTINY

This isn’t really the post game. I’m going to leave that to Bobby a little later, because I know he’s going to be dying to write it. For now, it is enough to say that the Kings, having just completed their first PERFECT 5 game road trip in team history, yes, as in, ever, are [...]

FRESH LEGS AND A COUPLE OF NEW LINES AGAINST THE DEVILS

Thomas Moore said hundreds of years ago, “The Devil, the proud spirit, cannot endure to be mocked.” Perhaps that is what Terry Murray had in mind when he put Teddy Purcell back in the lineup alongside Michal Handzus and Alexander Frolov. The recent mainstay on that line, Brandon Segal, will be a healthy scratch tonight [...]

TO SHARE MY JOY AND LOVE FOR OUR KINGS…

KINGS BURN THROUGH BEAN TOWN

Your Los Angeles Kings did us proud today, beating the Boston Bruins 3-2 in the two teams’ second meeting in the shootout in as many weeks. The game was a doozy, with both clubs pulling and gnawing and giving and pushing, basically from start to finish. While the Bruins’ had the clear edge in sustained [...]

RANDY JO-JO…JOJOJO…

…Jones has replaced Johnson for tonight’s game due to Jack’s bruised ego…er…upper body injury. I know of Randy Jones. I have seen him play. He is no Michigan Man. I know you’re scared my fellow fans. But we must still wish him the best of luck…and ourselves as well. Go Kings!

DO YOU SENSE IT?

Since we beat the Red Wings, there has been an increasing quiet confidence about this team that permeates through every player. Each game, they look and play like a team that expects to win. Confidence. Talent. Effort. You can see it with their play. You can hear it in their interviews. You can sense it [...]

KINGS LEAVE JACKETS BLUE – DEFEAT COLUMBUS 4-1

If you only watched the first 7 minutes of the game and were forced to guess the final score, chances are good that you would not have guessed a Kings’ victory.  You sure as hell would not have come up with a 4-1 butt kicking. The start was slow. The middle and end frames were [...]

THE KINGS ARE A CRAPPY TEAM

So sayeth this dude: (Forgive the crappy audio. He is after all, an idiot.)

MAPLES LEAFS ARE NO MATCH FOR KINGS

“That’s how we do it boys!” exclaimed Wayne Simmonds as he congratulated his teammates for scoring their first power play in 6 games, giving them an early 1-0 league against Canada’s red-headed step child, the Toronto Maple Leafs. That is how we do it. That’s how we should always do it. The Kings skated their [...]

D’OH CANADA. KINGS BEAT LEAFS 5-3

The Kings entered game 2 of their road trip at the Air Canada Centre against the struggling Maple Leafs. Toronto’s playoff chances are slim and none and, after tonight, slim may have left town.  Grab your Molson Canadian beer, national healthcare card and a few loonies and let’s head to a hockey game. The first [...]

NEW POLL ON JON QUICK AND HIS OLYMPIANNESS..ESesss

Click here or on the “poll” tab near the top of the page to cast your vote. Will we get to see our pride and joy in net backstopping his country?

THAT HAIRY LEGGED OVER PAID HOCKEY PLAYER NAMED WAYNE GRETZKY…

Here is a fun video from a while back. It seems Dick didn’t know…well, dick.

SINCE WHEN IS A PERSON A CEILING FIXTURE?

Since I screwed up and neglected to notice that the delay to start the third period against the Red Wings was indeed because of a suicidal or simply insane Detroit fan who climbed the rafters and not some fixture that might have come crashing down. That’s when. My mistake. Chalk one up for the security [...]

KINGS KICK FEATHERED TIRES TO CURB, 3-2

As I sit here in the home of an enemy, writing to you on a Red Wings fans’ laptop, I can’t help but smile. Part of it is because when he graciously, albeit bitterly, granted me permission to write this on his computer against his better judgment, I opened to find the browser opened to [...]

JACK JOHNSON: THE FATHER, THE SON AND THE INTERNET SPIRIT

Jack Johnson comes to us in various forms. First, there is Jack Johnson, the player. The player is the one we see on the ice who wears number 3 and we listen and read about in interviews.  Then, there is the “father”, that is Jack Johnson’s father who coincidentally is also named Jack Johnson.  The [...]

A DEFINING VICTORY – KINGS BEAT SABRES 4-3 IN SHOOTOUT

Effort. 60 minutes of hard charging action. Everything that is great about hockey. The Buffalo Sabres are an absolute pleasure to watch. At times, I felt like the Kings were defending against five forwards. But our boys came into this game prepared – ready to face an offensive juggernaut of a team and a strategy [...]

THE PURCELL SOLUTION?

Kings coach Terry Murray told this to Rich Hammond about the potential return of Ted Purcell: “There’s a potential that he could go in. I’ve got to think about that. We’re looking for some power-play creativity. He can bring that. He’s got skill and he’s been out of the lineup for a while. I can’t [...]

WHEN IT RAINS, IT POURS: KINGS DROP A CRITICAL GAME TO THE SHARKS 5-1

Some games leave you speechless and shaking your head, especially when a victory would have landed the Kings in 6th place and created more space between teams in pursuit. You look at the goaltending and shrug your shoulders.  You recall the play by Randy Jones and shake your head.  You hear the powerplay coach, Jamie [...]

INSIDE THE SEVEN CIRCLES OF HELL. TREVOR RULES!

I have on occasion mentioned a good friend of mine who suffers from the misfortune of being a Ducks fan. I often remind him that he is no such thing. He is a Wisconsin native and therefore a Minnesota Wild fan (for whom he cheers with fervor) and his residency today should not control his [...]
