As I sit in the stands watching the Monarchs warm up before their dance with the Sound Tigers, I hope that the demons of their shootout loss to the WBS Penguins on Sunday is out of their heads. After having an early lead (3-0 at one point), they gave up the farm and eventually the game in the third. Softy goal Jones strikes again. And damn you and your shootout voodoo, Zatkoff! You better have … [Read more...]
Penguins @ Monarchs – Ghost of Monarchs Past
March 10, 2013 By
Man, how much must it have sucked to go up 3 goals to none only to lose in overtime? That's a question best posed to the Pirates' goalie, Chad Johnson.

The shorty-machine Stefan Legein sank them with a skillfully placed snapshot following a Pirates turnover in the neutral zone. Good … [Read more...]

November 8, 2011 By
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 Monarchs looked awesome. They were fast, skilled, and seemingly capable of lighting the lamp at will. In their season opener, they destroyed the Springfield Falcons in a 5-2 … [Read more...]
LA Kings Sign Seven. Is Holloway Ready For Hollywood?
July 15, 2011 By
The LA Kings signed Trevor Lewis to a two-year contract ($1.45 million total) and Marc-Andre Cliche, Rich Clune, David Meckler, Andrew Campbell, Patrick Mullen and Jeff Zatkoff to one-year contracts. On deck are Corey Elkins (whose signing is almost official), Bud Holloway (who I want to see signed) and some kid named Drew Doughty who apparently plays defense. Corey Elkins has gone … [Read more...]
