I wish I was 6'4" and 240 pounds with a good stride and soft hands. I would pummel opposing forwards and defensemen and my ass would be planted in front of the goaltender every time we had the puck in the offensive zone. I would dare other defensemen to try and move me. In each zone, if someone so much as looked at Kopitar, Brown, Williams, Doughty or Voynov with a menacing glare, I would invite … [Read more...]

KINGS COACH TERRY MURRAY TINKERS WITH A PINCH OF THIS AND DASH OF THAT
October 22, 2009 By

It exposed us defensively and we weren't sure about his shot from the point. Today, we find out that Terry is moving Williams off the point. His concern? Defense. On the powerplay? Yes.

While it is too much to ask to expect unabated and honest specificity in words from a team, I do believe there is something to read in to themes of speech. Here are some quotes after yesterday's loss to the Columbus Blue … [Read more...]
