History’s Lessons. May 2012 Finish What 2001 and 1993 Could Not.

I love history. As an American History geek, I could talk to you about the 100 year period of 1770 to 1870 for hours. I am amazed how little Americans have learned from our own history and how often we repeat the mistakes of our past. When it comes to Kings history, there isn't much to learn but far more to lament. The highlights have been few and far between. That is why you keep seeing … [Read more...]

Should Dean Lombardi’s Fate Hang In The Playoff Balance?

Imagine the following hypothetical: 93 points and we make the playoffs. 92 points and we don't. We get 93 points and land in 8th. We play one of St. Louis or Vancouver. You're happy, high-five me, smack your girl friend's butt (which, if it came after you high-fived me, means I too smacked it) and let out a fuck yeah while you grab a beer!

I REMEMBER WHEN…

We played at the Fabulous Forum Russian hockey players didn't smile Canada had a bunch of NHL teams Gretzky became a King, Gretzky became a Blue, Gretzky became a Ranger Roman Vopat played the role of a top six forward Our team was bought out of bankruptcy Our captain was traded Adam Deadmarsh became the team's heart and soul Andy Murray was our coach...which drove me … [Read more...]

KINGS CAN’T FINISH, FALL TO THE HAWKS AND FISH 3-1

You can’t win a race if you don’t cross the finish line. You can’t win hockey games unless you finish your chances. I believe it was Wayne Gretzky that once said you'll always miss 100% of the shots you don't take. I will add to the Great One’s quote that you don’t win 100% of the games you don’t finish. That was the problem on offense tonight. Finish. On defense? It pains me … [Read more...]
