Last cuts are coming, and my guess at the opening night roster:

By

Smyth/Kopitar/Williams Purcell/Stoll/Brown Frolov/Handzus/Simmonds Ivanans/Lewis/Harrold (Clune , Richardson) Martinez/Doughty Johnson/Scuderi Drewiske/Greene (SOD/susp.) Quick Ersberg Bernier That’s my guess. Hickey will get sent down; no loss of face there. DL will keep three goalies up and give Bernier a game or two. If...

I don’t think it’s a good idea to draw any kind of conclusion from pre-season games. But what the h***, that’s all we have right now

If Frolov is anything less than stellar in his contract year (i.e. if he takes nights off), he will get dealt sooner rather than later. And Frolov is especially vulnerable the first 10-15 games, I think. If he plays like an “enigma,” I think DL will have a few chances to ship him to...

The Hockey News: Western Conference predictions

By
September 24, 2009

10. Los Angeles. I hate for you to think I’m underestimating the Kings, because I’m not. The job Terry Murray did behind L.A.’s bench last year was phenomenal, their blueline has the potential to be one of the league’s best and individual talents such as Dustin Brown, Anze Kopitar and Drew Doughty are only...

Warning signs for Oil as Visnovsky doesnt even look like half the player he used to be.If Lubomir Visnovsky wasnt the Edmonton Oilers best defenceman last season before his season-ending shoulder injury see photo, the best was Sheldon Souray.But Visnovsky was right up there, a wheeling, dealing, racing, skating puckmeister with the range factor...

Jacques Martin got on Sergei Kostitsyn today. “What the **** are you doing over there?” Martin bellowed. Later in the morning drills, Martin made a chalk-talk point and asked: “You got that, Sergei?” “This was really my first practice with him,” Martin said in his post-practice press conference, pointing out that Sergei has skated...

YouTube – Kings v Islanders 9/22/09 – Kansas City, MO

By
September 23, 2009

I am frankly surprised by the high quality of the video image on this crowd tape. The two guys who are taping it give an intentionally and unintentionally amusing running commentary, and for some reason only tape the fights. But it’s still worth a look. YouTube – Kings v Islanders 9/22/09 – Kansas City,...

Islanders fall to Kings 4-2 in K.C.; Roloson hurt – Lighthouse Hockey

By
September 23, 2009

A dose of perspective. How other teams blog the Kings: Honestly, this was your typical preseason game: Several fights (Brett Westgarth and Raitis Ivanans tangled twice in the first — the P.A. epically botched Ivanans’ name both times), and several signs that certain players are true NHLers who have adjusted to the speed at...
