It’s a lot easier to write about your team when everything sucks. One of the reasons for this is that it’s a familiar feeling. It’s not hard to relate a given day of sucking to all the past days of…

Gagne Plays Tonight!
by Quisp •
I guess he’ll play on the fourth line and get some power play time? I don’t think Lombardi or Sutter would use Gagne if it was a risky move. Unlike past Kings teams, this one is operating from a position…
More Justin Schultz: I don’t understand. Please explain why he isn’t a free agent NOW.
by Quisp •
Look, I’m sure it’s buried in the CBA somewhere. I’m sure everyone else is right and I’m wrong. But, as I said in an earlier post, I just don’t get why Justin Schultz isn’t an unrestricted free agent as of June 1, today.
YIKES! Voynov thought about bolting for KHL in the middle of THIS SEASON

“When I got sent down, I thought about the KHL because, you know, I’m mad and sad,” Voynov said Friday afternoon [...]. “My friends told me not to think about it, just wait and trust yourself and Lombardi.”
Justin Schultz, free agency and the CBA
by Quisp •
The CBA clearly indicates that clubs retain the rights of unsigned collegiate (or college-bound) draft picks, for four years after the year of their selection — ending either (1) August 15th four years after the year of selection, if the player graduates from said college, or (2) June 1 four years after the year of selection, if the player does not graduate.
Bob McKenzie: 2012-13 cap ceiling is $70.3MM
by Quisp •
I don’t see how McKenzie can say the cap for next season “is” $70.3MM. For one thing, players haven’t voted on whether or not to add the 5% inflator. (I guess I need to check to see if the inflator…

No, “NHL Tonight”, Kopitar did NOT fan on his shot on the game-winning goal
by Quisp •
As I said in the last post, Kopitar waited until Brodeur kicked his leg up and put it under. We’ve all been watching the NHL Tonight Ten Best This-and-Thats of the Playoffs. We’ve all seen Brodeur’s beautiful kicks-his-leg-up saves on…
KINGS 2, Devils 1 (OT) – SCF Game 1 Real-Time Bullets
by Quisp •
And we’re off…
- Yes, suddenly Lewis is 6’4″ and menacing. No, Mike, that was Dwight King.
- I wonder if we can go the whole game without hearing “regathers.”
- I would like to keep it to under 10 incidences of “knifes” as a verb.
- I guess Eddie Olczyk never really watched the Terry Murray Kings. I think he just said that Sutter taught the Kings to defend.
April 5, 1947: L.A. won its first pro hockey title…or did they?
