Why did the Kings lose Thomas Hickey? I’ll tell you why

By
January 15, 2013

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 injuries early on are what kept him from getting his “cup of coffee” early...

2013 Kings’ opening night line-up?

By
January 6, 2013

The 2013 season starts in 10-14 days. Camp starts in less than a week, I suppose. Anze Kopitar and Willie Mitchell sound like they’re out with knee injuries for at least a few weeks. Tyler Toffoli has been tearing up the AHL. Jonathan Quick either has just been cleared to play (surgery, remember?) or...

Who will still be on the Kings in 2013-14?

By
January 3, 2013

2013-14, that’s this fall, by the way. The NHL and NHLPA have apparently agreed to allow 2 buy-outs per club for 2013-14. That’s two buy-outs that will not count against the cap. The point is to make it easier for teams to get below the presumed $60 million cap ceiling. I don’t know what...

Found: my first comments

By
October 12, 2012

I’ve been strolling down memory lane, in the form of the archives of Rich Hammond’s first Kings blog, Inside the Kings. I believe I found my first three comments on the blog, which are interesting (if only to me) because of how naively optimistic I was about the 2007-08 season, and because of how...

October 27, 2006, six years ago this month. The LA Daily News unveils its blog devoted to the Los Angeles Kings, to be written by reporter Rich Hammond. Dean Lombardi had been GM for all of five months. Jonathan Bernier and Trevor Lewis had been selected in the first round of June’s draft. Pavol...

By
September 16, 2012

Owners would nuke the playoffs again (and they don’t care) – Niesy at Jewels From The Crown This labor dispute will be decided by the owners. It will be over when they want it to be over. This is not a give-and-take negotiation between two sides. This is about how much more the...
