L.A. Kings News 
700 Miles For A Goal
You want me to talk about the game last night, or my trip to San Jose? I kind of don’t feel like talking about either. I kind of feel like talking about the Denny’s I stupidly and drunkenly wandered into… Read More ›
Kings @ Sharks – Round 2 Game 3 – Down By The Bay
Two down. Two to go. By the time you read this, I’ll be somewhere in the middle of nowhere on the 5 freeway, heading north to test my lucky underwear out at the HPV Pavillion in San Jose. I won’t… Read More ›
If I Go To Church, Then I Can’t Be A Sinner, Right?
Now that both Todd McLellan and Doug Wilson have made their comments about Raffi Torres’ suspension and how they think it is bogus, a common theme has jumped out. They, and others, are quick to make the point that Raffi… Read More ›
She’s The Best
Lost in the kerfuffle of the playoffs, I have forgotten to post a bit of news that my brothers and sisters in section 315 already knew. I’ve long said that section 315 is the best section in Staples Center, and… Read More ›

From The Archives: The Shark Who Came To Dinner
**By reader request, I’m reposting this article from the last Kings-Sharks playoff series. I had forgotten about it, but reading it over again I am reminded that I must find a cure for writing during REM sleep. This is a… Read More ›
Sharks @ Kings – Round 2 Game 1 – Payback, Like Joe Thornton, is a Bitch
They say time heals all wounds. They may be right, but what doesn’t heal all wounds? A Stanley Cup. Despite our glorious achievements and the San Jose Sharks distinct lack of them outside of a few meaningless division titles, these… Read More ›
Replica Ring Winners!

Ducks or Sharks? A Stupid Question Answered
“Who would you rather play in the second round?” Surly and I have been asked this question numerous times in the past 48 hours. Surly almost allowed himself to get sucked into it last night until he retorted to a… Read More ›
Rejoice. Reset. Remain.
Well how do you like that? The Kings are going to the second round! This isn’t a post game. We aren’t going to analyze the 60 minutes of hockey played, how Drew Doughty scored the most Drew Doughty goal ever,… Read More ›
Blues @ Kings – Round 1 Game 6 – 4 + 4 + 4 = 4
My superstitions are real, damn it. On Monday, I ran two miles and then ate two pieces of chicken at El Pollo Loco. The Kings went on to win their second game of the series. On Wednesday, I was about… Read More ›
Celebrate Tonight. Forget It Tomorrow. Win Four on Friday.
I gripped Drew Doughty game-used stick like a vise. I grabbed it at the end of the third because I needed something I would not break or throw across the room if we lost this game in overtime. The moment… Read More ›
Kings @ Blues – Round 1 Game 5 – Three’s Company
