2001 v DET, 2013 v STL — Kings come back from 0-2 to win in 6

By
May 10, 2013

For the second time in franchise history, the Kings came back from an 0-2 series deficit to win in six. For the second time in a calendar year, Dustin Penner scored a series-clinching goal that no Kings fan will forget. The Kings extend their consecutive playoff series winning streak to five. Jonathan Quick stole...

Carter-mania! Post-game bullets

By
March 5, 2013

Last night, Jeff Carter scored maybe the most sheepish hat-trick I’ve ever seen. With 14 goals in 20 games, Carter is on pace for 57 goals in an 82 game season. In celebration of the four goals by ex-Flyers, here’s a link to the freshly-updated Philly West page, with new graphics. The Kings jump...

Is Dean Lombardi vindictive? Does it matter?

By

Yesterday, both Surly/Scribe and Matt Barry were ruminating on the fate of Jonathan Bernier. S&S serve up a potential destination; Matt reads the tea-leaves. And why not, the Kings suck, and Bernier is, after all, the Kings’ most popular trade rumor star. My initial reaction is that trading Bernier now would make absolutely zero sense for...

2/5/13 – Game Day Notes

By

The Kings are 14th in the conference in the official standings, 2 points ahead of last place Calgary. My points-blown standings have the Kings tied for 8th (8 points-blown), along with the Oilers and Flames. In points-blown, the Kings are one point behind 6th place Nashville and Detroit, and two behind 5th place Vancouver....

I love Dustin Penner

By
January 29, 2013

Just read the Mayor’s interview with him, in which he says (I am quoting from memory, so call it a paraphrase), we’re a team first organization and we just got our first win. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. What’s he referring to? Putting him back in the line-up. I thought he had a pretty...

LAK 3, VAN 2 (SO) – Post-Game Bullets

By
January 29, 2013

With the win, the Kings climb up to .500 and grab 8th place in the official standings, or 7th in my idiosyncratic points-blown standings, which now have their own page. 5th through 12th place are separated by 2 points. It feels weird that the Kings only have 2 more games with each of VAN,...

EDM 2, LAK 1 (OT) — Post Game Bullets

By
January 25, 2013

Jarret Stoll — You’re not a rookie. Or a squirt. At least half of why anyone values you is your veteran leadership. What would be the one thing you should be thinking about during an on-the-fly line-change in over-time? Even if you weren’t called for too-many-men, what were you going to do with the...

Yes, Penner is a healthy scratch, and no, this isn’t big news

By
January 24, 2013

As I predicted, Dustin Penner will sit tonight in favor of Simon Gagne, who sat the last game. Judging by the number of tweets and headlines mentioning Penner, I gather people are cattily enjoying this a little bit. But, unless you expect to see Gagne or Penner regularly skating on the third line this...
