Whither Clifford?

By
July 4, 2012

Of the six left wings mentioned -- Brown, Penner, Gagne, King, Nolan and Clifford -- one of them (Gagne) is almost certain to leave after next season (if he can even make it through 2012-13 healthy), and another (Penner) is not any kind of lock to return after next year either. I would say,...

King Parise?

By
July 1, 2012

As I tweeted a few hours ago, if the Parise market is indeed in the high $6MM AAV range (we keep hearing 12 years, $80MM-ish), that’s not outrageous for the Kings. $80MM divided by 12 is $6.67, lower than Kopitar’s 6.8, lower than Doty’s 7. Even with Penner re-signing at $3.25MM, there’s room. How...

How many prospects make it? How long does it take?

By
June 22, 2012

Short version: Two or three out of every ten picks will turn into a viable roster player. One, maaaybe two, of those will be someone special. And it takes two or three years from the draft for the player to develop, sometimes less, sometimes more. Long version: Class of 2000 (GM Dave Taylor) Alex...

Is signing Jarret Stoll a “must-do”?

By
June 13, 2012

If you're comparing Stoll to Loktionov, don't forget that Loktionov is going to get older and better, while Stoll is going to get older and worse. I don't think Loktionov is going to have too much trouble scoring 20+ goals a year, once he starts getting a regular shift. Do you want to see...

Are the L.A. Kings the worst thing to happen to hockey? – CSMonitor.com

By
June 5, 2012

Maybe if you don't like hockey anyway, don't know anything about it, or you're a reporter who never stayed up to watch games on the West Coast, or if when you say "hockey" you mean "ad revenue and/or network ratings for hockey." Or you're Shane Doan.

What explains the Kings’ turnaround?

By
June 5, 2012

Derek Zona of www.coppernblue.com tweeted last night that he didn’t know who was responsible for the Kings’ recent success. His candidates were Darryl Sutter, Jeff Carter, Jack Johnson and variance. Variance, I imagine, is another way of saying, “just because this is happening doesn’t mean it’s likely ever to happen again.” Or, “if you...

KINGS 2, Devils 1 (OT) – SCF Game 1 Real-Time Bullets

By
May 30, 2012

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...

2012-2013 LA Kings Season Preview — Wait, what?

By
May 29, 2012

Two or three months ago, I don’t think anyone would have batted an eye if I said that the chances of Dustin Penner or Jarret Stoll re-signing with Kings were about zero. We would have been talking about which rookies might make the team (e.g. Tyler Toffoli, Linden Vey, Jake Muzzin?), would Gagne return...
