As I said this afternoon, I will be watching the game on “tape delay” because that’s how I got the Kings to win all 16 playoff games. Starting game now… (8:47pm) Cross fingers (although you probably already know the outcome…unless it’s the longest shoot-out in human history). Evernote lets you save all the interesting...

Superstition watch: starting Kings/Blues now on DVR…
Kings Wings Blues Blings Klues Wues Preview recap whatever the Kings suck
Going back to the arrival of Gretzky (1988), the Kings have had fewer than 8 points after ten games only once. In 2009 (the year we finished fifth from last and drafted Brayden Schenn). Since 1988, the Kings had 8 points after ten games five times. They made the playoffs once out of those...

Sports fan voodoo is b.s. of course, but there’s no way the Kings win this game
I understand that the superstitions of sports fans actually have no effect on the outcome of games. In 2012, the Kings won every playoff game which I DVR-ed and watched later (or missed the beginning of the game and watched it later), and lost all four which I watched entirely live in real-time. I...

Thomas Hickey played more than 16 minutes in today’s game
Hickey has played 6 games, and today he got about six minutes more than his average TOI (today was also Lubomir Visnovsky’s first game back). Hickey’s got one of the lowest GA/60s on the team. I’m glad to have some good news to comment on. Evernote lets you save all the interesting things you...

Irony watch: “Ellerby had been passed over by Mike Weaver”
Ellerby, 24, provides a sizeable depth option on the Kings’ blue line; whether he provides anything more than that depends on L.A.’s success in coaxing development out of the 6-foot-5, 217 pound blueliner, an endeavor that Florida had found limited success in since he was selected 10th overall in 2007. Ellerby had fallen out...

And with that, Nashville clinches season series win against Kings
Preds are now +3 in points vs. the Kings, with one game left. Head-to-head tie-breaker goes to Nashville. I like Nashville’s gold jerseys. Kings are now dead last in the West in points. Dead. Last. You might be happier if you look at the points-blown standings. In points-blown, Kings are one point out of...

Henrique on Loktionov: “He’ll be here in no time.”
Devils center Adam Henrique predicted that Andrei Loktionov, acquired in a trade with the Los Angeles Kings on Wednesday, will be in the NHL in no time. Loktionov and Henrique were junior teammates on the 2008-09 Windsor (OHL) team that won the Memorial Cup. I loved that team. Henrique, Loktionov, Taylor Hall… “He’s a...

Why was it stupid to trade Andrei Loktionov? Let’s review
Yesterday Dean Lombardi traded the most NHL-ready playmaker in the Kings prospect pool to New Jersey for a 5th round draft pick. Ever since Lombardi inexplicably chose not to petition to have Loktionov’s name engraved on the cup (while simultaneously petitioning for Davis 9 games Drewiske and Kevin 25 games Westgarth) we’ve been waiting...
