Three of many gripes during Terry Murray's era were: 1. Low percentage shots coupled with Terry Murray's antiquated "shot mentality." 2. Not enough low shots on goal to create rebounds. 3. Not enough one timers from passes on the cross seam, low-release and from behind the goal line. The Kings have broken away from the one-dimensional, low to high (stretch the defense) point shot … [Read more...]
25 Goals In The Last 7 Games For A G/G Of 3.57 Because Of…

Jeff Carter's arrival? Jack Johnson's departure? Slava Voynov's recall? Dustin Brown's hot streak? The arrival of Jordan Nolan and Dwight King? More active defense? The powerplay?

Kings rebuild and that of the Oilers Sporting News, in a well written article, stating the Kings need more goals to reach their...goals (I see what you did there) My favorite paragraph from this article was: Yes, the game was fatality-free, but Sutter is either in denial … [Read more...]
CAN TERRY MURRAY’S OFFENSE FIRST, DEFENSE FIRST SYSTEM WORK?
September 19, 2010 By

That is aggressive. Very un-Murray … [Read more...]
