Holy. Freaking. Crap. Those three words pretty much sum up my feelings about the Monarchs’ three game homestand. They played three games, won them all in regulation, and kept their hopes of sneaking into the Calder Cup Playoffs alive. They… Read More ›

Monarchs @ IceCaps – Frozen Wasteland Boogaloo
First things first, congrats to our Kings for winning five straight! I was tuned in to the game last night against the Red Wings, and I’m pretty sure I giggled when Kopi played Howard like a fiddle. You can’t give… Read More ›
Monarchs @ Sound Tigers – A Frenetic Flurry of Feline Fury
If a hockey game was a meal, last night’s game against the Worcester Sharks was an expertly prepared turkey dinner with all the fixins. I’m talkin’ a fat ol’ turkey, some delicious ham, mashed potatoes, a bit of cranberry sauce,… Read More ›
Monarchs Bring the Heat and Melt the IceCaps
Okay, I can safely say that the pain Kings fans have been feeling watching their team struggle is a pain I can relate to here in Monarchs country. The Manchester Monarchs have been giving away games like Halloween candy, getting… Read More ›
The Monarchs 2011-2012 Season, Month One in Review
One month. 31 days. A constant give and take (mostly giving…), resulting in the team being on unsteady footing in their division standings; 1 point out of fourth and 2 points out of last. Out of the gate, the 2011-2012… Read More ›

Let’s Talk About Andy Andreoff, Brandon Kozun & Drew Doughty
One kid who impressed Dean Lombardi at development camp was Andy Andreoff, a 6 foot tall, 185 pound center who plays a nice two-way game and has that “Clifford” edge about him. While he is still young and probably not… Read More ›
KINGS @ BUFFALO SABRES GAME PREVIEW
One word. Defense. Two words. Goals Against. Three words. Play better defense. I could add a fourth, but then I’d have to start cursing and it’s just to early for that kind of noise. So, with defense in mind, are any… Read More ›

The hard working folks at Future Considerations (their site will be up this year) sent us this video to share. Brandon is off to a hot start in Manchester. Enjoy.
LOOKING AT THE KINGS’ ASSIGNMENTS AND CUTS
I enjoyed Kozun and Nolan the most though Czarnik had flashes of ready potential. I will follow Jordan’s progress closely in Manchester this season. I saw not only a nice skill set with size but a passion and drive. Brandon… Read More ›
LOS ANGELES KINGS SEASON PREVIEW: FORWARD THINKING, 1ST LINE OF ATTACK
“The best defense is a good offense.” As we squirm in our comfortable seats at work, we pine for the crammed quarters of Staples Center. The groundhog is groggily awakening, and hockey is finally transitioning from its prison of free… Read More ›
KINGS ROOKIE CAMP VIDEOS – DAY 2
Before we get to the plethora of moving and jittery images, I want to be up front in that I think this batch pales in comparison to yesterdays viewing. Not as a result of the drills or the prospects themselves,… Read More ›
SOME PICTURES AND VIDEO FROM ROOKIE CAMP DAY 1
These were all taken on my phone. Impressive for something that is supposed to be for talking to people, but still kind of crappy. I apologize. I will attempt to bring a real video camera tomorrow if they let me…. Read More ›
