Hickey will wear number 37 in Manchester
by Quisp • • 0 Comments
Hopefully he will wear #4 with the Kings. Although I guess he would be the greatest player in Kings history ever to wear #37 (assuming he’s better than Denis Grebeshkov and/or Bob Kudelski). The Manchester Monarchs, the primary affiliate of the Los Angeles Kings, have added defenseman Thomas Hickey to their roster, Monarchs Director of…

[special Kings-centric forward-only edition:] 1. Right wing Marian Hossa (Detroit): He has said publicly that he will take less money to stay with the Red Wings, and GM Ken Holland clearly would like him back. But the Red Wings have roughly $47 million already committed for next season, and it’s going to be problematic for…
Do the Kings have an unhealthy attraction to Philly castoffs?

It has been noted that DL and TM appear to have a preference for personnel who have some kind of Flyers affiliation. The usual evidence cited is Denis Gauthier, Ron Hextall, Terry Murray, Kyle Calder, Handzus and (now) Justin Williams. Without knowing the answer beforehand, it occurred to me to look at the Kings’ roster…

by Quisp • • 2 Comments
I don’t know if there’s any truth to this, but if so it’s fascinating and I guess not surprising: A couple of hours ago, I wrote about how upset I was with the Justin Williams for Patrick O’Sullivan for Erik Cole deal. I lamented the fact that Patrick O’Sullivan would have been…
ESPN Magazine, January, 2003: “Damage Control” by Gare Joyce
by Quisp • • 2 Comments
This story was written nearly six years ago, and this is the third time I’ve stumbled across it. The whole thing is worth reading. Patrick O’Sullivan always looks for his father in the stands. He’s done it since he was a 2-year-old skating in Winston-Salem, N.C. He still caught himself doing it this season when,…

I wanted to remember what it was like to be a Kings fan this time last year. In March, Rich’s question was, who is the Kings’ best defenseman? The choices? Rob Blake, Kevin Dallman, Peter Harrold, Jack Johnson, Jon Klemm, Tom Preissing, Lubomir Visnovsky. Seems like about a million years ago. via Seriously…who? – Inside…

Wrong league though. An article about Jagr possibly playing for Edmonton next year linked to the scoring stats for the KHL (link below). Jagr finished 7th in scoring, a couple of points ahead of Era Pirnes, and five points behind (5th overall) Kevin Dallman. Dallman leads all defensemen in points, and by a mile. Meanwhile,…
