Jeff Miller of the Orange County Register tweeted: Randy Carlyle met with Bobby Ryan today concerning trade rumors and told him he “has to find that inner peace in himself to deal with it.” Sage advice. This got me thinking. Bobby Ryan is not the only one under stress right now. How about our LA Kings’ players [...]
Jonathan Quick, Robin Hood Of Hockey – Kings Shutout Sharks 2-0
November 28, 2011 By
Sometimes your offense overpowers a team, beats them into submission. Other times your defense suffocates and sterilizes, strangling what mojo the opposition has when they step on the ice. And then there are those games when a goalie simply refuses to lose. To explain what needs not be explained, Jonathan ‘Robin Hood’ Quick robbed the [...]
L.A. Is To Newark As Paradise Is To Lost – Come Home Zach Parise
November 24, 2011 By
No, I will not get off this. He is ours…he just doesn’t know it yet. As further evidence, from the NY Post. First one of Zach Parise’s high-powered Toronto agents showed up in Tampa, then the other at Monday’s Florida Fiasco. Barely three months from the Feb. 27 trade deadline as the Devils play host [...]
Reader Eli Asks – Are We Better Off Without Dustin Penner?
November 16, 2011 By
It’s always fun when a reader feels so passionate about a subject, that he or she takes the time to write an article and sends it to us for consideration. One of our readers, Eli, has strong opinions on Dustin Penner. When I first read this, my initial reaction was, “there is a lot of truth here…and some conclusions [...]
Three L.A. Kings Related Events Coming Up & A Funny, Strange & Disturbing Story
November 11, 2011 By
First up, Tip A King, 2011. That’s this Sunday, right? I think so. I am not into autographs but if a player is there, I am there, there is a pen sitting around and something to sign, then yeah, sure, I’ll drink a beer while someone else gets an autograph. Next up, a fun one [...]
Hey Penner, What The Hell Is Wrong With You?
November 4, 2011 By
You skate out on the ice. You are behind the play. You don’t go to the net. You don’t provide any screen. Go to the net. Go to the net. Go to the fucking net. You skate off the bench. You take your fat ass into the zone. You don’t hang out on the perimeter. [...]
Terry Murray Wasn’t Present For Tonight’s 3-0 Loss To The Oilers
November 3, 2011 By
Here is Terry Murray’s post game quotes, courtesy of Rich Hammond. (on the lack of offense…) MURRAY: “The blocked a lot of shots out there tonight. In the early going, especially in the first period, we had a lot of opportunities to get pucks to the net. We used our defensemen very well, low to [...]
Some Thoughts From Early In The Season
October 28, 2011 By
Yes, I know it’s early, and drawing any conclusions from what we are seeing is a fool’s errand, but I just want to make a few observations. Is it just me, or has Jack Johnson become a true number one defenseman? I swear, the guy skates as well as Doughty, is a terror with the [...]
Transcript of Terry Murray’s Meeting With Dustin Penner
October 26, 2011 By
You may have already read this from Hammond: Murray held a lengthy post-practice meeting in his office with Dustin Penner to discuss his recent play. Jonathan Quick will start in goal tomorrow. More notes and quotes to come from practice… We learned about this potential meeting last night. That was our cue to go undercover. Since Surly’s job [...]
Kings Kill Coyotes And Their Two King Killers
October 20, 2011 By
You have to admit, when the Phoenix Coyotes signed Daymond Langkow over the summer you thought to yourself ‘Aw shit, just what we needed. Two historic King killers on the same team we always seem to have trouble with. Fuck’. Then when you woke up this morning, despite the Kings domination of the Blues on [...]
Hey, Jealousy
October 19, 2011 By
Truth be told, I don’t have much to complain about. All told, I’ve been dealt a pretty fair hand. I was never much of an athlete while young, but I move around without pain while all my jock friends are nursing their old sports injuries that prevent them from living a complete life. Financially, I [...]
Rob Scuderi Is A Funny Guy
October 13, 2011 By
As I read this article from fellow blogger, The Mayor, I had flashbacks of… Tommy DeVito: You mean, let me understand this cause, ya know maybe it’s me, I’m a little fucked up maybe, but I’m funny how, I mean funny like I’m a clown, I amuse you? I make you laugh, I’m here to fuckin’ [...]
Caterpillar, Ducks & A Shot At Redemption
September 24, 2011 By
I love my vegetable garden. It is my pride. It is my joy. As the fall vegetables move toward harvest and the winter ones remain on deck, I am fortunate to have year round peppers that flourish – these include Serrano, Cayenne and the hottest Habanero peppers you have tasted this side of Mexico. Unfortunately, [...]
Understanding The Drew Doughty Negotiations & The Tactic Of Delays
August 13, 2011 By
So much said, so much written about the Drew Doughty contract negotiations. While numbers ruled July, August has been the month of “delay.” I have listened and read pause and panic passed off as pontification as if the passing days toward the season somehow spell disaster. The very word “delay” has become synonymous with doomsday for some, [...]

July 27, 2011 By
For those wondering, no, this is not the news I tweeted about and put on our Facebook yesterday…that upcoming announcement is not player related. However, I did get only moments ago some news and tidbits on three of our players. Alec Martinez has put on 5 lbs of muscle and is receiving targeted coaching / [...]
