On September 8, I wrote the L.A. Kings need a legitimate third line wing to replace Wayne Simmonds. At the time, I coveted Carolina Hurricanes left wing, Chad LaRose because I was not drinking the Ethan Moreau Kool-Aid and, as I wrote then, I asked if you were. Surly was drinking some of that but, then again, you put almost anything in front of him and he will empty the glass in no time. I … [Read more...]

He will score a goal from behind … [Read more...]
SCRIBE’S KEYS TO BEATING CAROLINA
October 20, 2010 By
After watching the Canes v. Sharks last night, I may understand their style: They are a quick team that plays a simple north - south game and shoots a lot. They do not have much playmaking ability. Their offensive system is very simple. Get open, take a shot, get a rebound. I didn't see too much cycling or dot to boards play. Last night's victory was as much the Sharks trying to get cute … [Read more...]
KINGS VS HURRICANES GAME PREVIEW

Remember when I said before the season that there are just certain games the Kings should expect to win? This is one of those games. The Carolina Hurricanes drift into town tonight fresh of a storming of the Shark Tank, where they defeated San Jose 5-2. That's double good news for the Kings, the Bay area guppies lost and the immediate threat of the Hurricanes are playing the second night … [Read more...]
