Points-Blown page is updated, and shows: Columbus is much worse off than the official standings (and pundits) would have you believe. St. Louis is better off than the official standings say. This has mostly to do with the fact that…

Post-game/pre-game whatever bullets
by Quisp •
- Jeff Carter, with his 17th goal in 23 games, is on a 60 goal pace for a normal 82 game season.
- The Kings’ victory over the Flames doesn’t count in the season series tie-breaker.
- Tomorrow’s game counts. The Kings are up 2 points on the Flames in the season series, and this is the last game between the two teams this regular season.
- The Kings are still 3rd in points-blown, and 5th in the official standings.
- The Flames have dropped to the bottom of the official standings, but in points-blown they’re 12th, and Columbus, despite their recent success, is still 15th.
- No-one has played as few games as the Kings and Flames, with 23.

Trevor Lewis, Dwight King and Jake Muzzin have each only been on the ice for one even-strength goal-against. Davis Drewiske has been on the ice for 2. Slava Voynov has only been on the ice for 3. Which is crazy,…
Kings Wings Blues Blings Klues Wues Preview recap whatever the Kings suck

Kings 2013 Season Preview: x = 12 – y – 41*(z-5)/48
by Quisp •
x = 12 – y – (z-5)/2 That was my prediction for the Kings in 2011-12. Where x = conference seed, y = number of 20 goal scorers, z = number of shoot-out wins. Results rounded to the nearest counting number.…
Why did the Kings lose Thomas Hickey? I’ll tell you why
by Quisp •
I was sad to see Thomas Hickey go this morning. In an alternate universe, it’s Hickey and not Alec Martinez or Slava Voynov playing in LA with his name on the Stanley Cup. Does that sound crazy? Consider that Hickey’s…

This was going to be a longer conversation, but we got interrupted by yesterday’s sudden flurry of activity, so I decided just to post what we have. The last time I participated in a proper roundtable of Kings’ bloggers, it…
The answer to the Hickey/Muzzin (and King) waiver mystery
by Quisp •
This morning, the Mayor reported (or, I guess, tweeted) that several Kings prospects playing in the AHL were being put through waivers. Those players were Thomas Hickey, Marc-Andre Cliche, Andrew Campbell and Rich Clune. Previously, Jake Muzzin was recalled from…
