Kings Banner Raising: ZZZZZ (honk) ZZZZZ (honk)

By
January 19, 2013

I want to separate (1) the Kings winning the cup from (2) the cup banner-raising ceremony. Because (1) is literally and without exaggeration a dream come true. And (2) is just a bunch of boring self-indulgence that I would have happily fast-forwarded through had I not been watching it live on NBC. I probably...

Kings 2013 Season Preview: x = 12 – y – 41*(z-5)/48

By
January 18, 2013

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. How did my little predictive formula do? Let’s see. 20 goal scorers: 4 (Kopitar, Brown,...

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...

Kings Quickie Roundtable 2013

By
January 14, 2013

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 was back in 2010 on Jewels from the Crown. The participants were RudyKelly (then of Battle...

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...

Which players got screwed the most by the two lock-outs?

By
November 10, 2012

The 2004-2005 lock-out took a year out of the careers of a generation of players. Now, the 2012-13 lock-out is robbing a second group, and it’s doing it to some people for the second time. Some players — Mike Cammalleri, Dustin Brown, come to mind — may even have benefitted from playing an entire...

Lombardi was never going to offer Parise anywhere near $7.54MM AAV

By
July 4, 2012

If the “reports” are true, and Zach Parise and Ryan Suter have each signed 13 year $98 million deals with the Minnesota Wild, then, well, more power to them. The Wild ought to be pretty good. I look forward to watching them. Ninety-eight divided by thirteen is 7.54. There’s simply no way the Kings...
