Hickey, Stoll, Azevedo, Loktionov and Nash (not a law firm)

By
June 19, 2012

Hockey Buzz (Matt Barry): Rumors Depending on who you talk to, Kings former #4 pick and RFA (with a 1.3 mil NHL cap hit) Thomas Hickey has asked to be traded. The Kings don’t have 2nd or 3rd round picks this year and Lombardi and his staff have made a killing in the 2nd...

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...

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...

Simon Gagne, cleared to play — ready for primetime?

By
May 26, 2012

As you have probably heard, Simon Gagne, who has been out with a concussion since December, has been cleared to play. It’s tempting — as fans — to imagine just chucking him in there and dreaming our dreams of glory. Plus, it’s a nice dream because if Gagne were to play at least one...

2011-2012 Kings Prospects Scoring, Adjusted

By
May 24, 2012

Since you already have 59 different places to go for traditional team stats, I decided to do something different. A few years back, behindthenet calculated conversion multipliers to be used to "translate" scoring stats from one league into equivalent NHL numbers. The idea being, for example, that one goal in NCAA is the rough...

How did these Kings get here in the first place?

By
May 18, 2012

None of the eleven players mentioned were undrafted UFA signings, although Lombardi has gone that route several times, most notably with Matt Moulson and Teddy Purcell (since departed), Martin Jones, Kevin Westgarth and Davis Drewiske.

Here's how the current Kings got here, in order of arrival:

Premature Post: Who Gets His Name on the Cup?

By
May 11, 2012

In order for a player to get his name on the cup, the player must either (1) have played 41 games or more for the team in the regular season (and still be property of the team at the end of the season), or (2) have played at least one game in the Stanley...

A BETTER GUIDE TO HATING THE KINGS

By
April 26, 2012

In the spirit of friendship, and because this whole thing is probably about to go to hell in a hand-basket, and because Chuck Berry is from St. Louis and Chuck Berry is Rock and Roll, I thought I would lend a hand in completing the guide to Kings hating put together by SB Nation’s...

A different Kings team: 2010 vs. 2012

By
April 14, 2012

Yesterday (seems like a month ago) we looked at how the Canucks have changed since the 2010 series against a markedly different Kings team. Here’s how different: RETURNING (9): Matt Greene Rob Scuderi Drew Doughty Anze Kopitar Justin Williams Brad Richardson Dustin Brown Jarret Stoll Jonathan Quick IN (14): Mike Richards Jeff Carter Dustin...

Awwwww: “He’s a good little player” – Loktionov Recalled

By
April 10, 2012

  Loktionov will meet the team in Vancouver. His addition is notable in one way. After the trade deadline, the Kings can only made four call-ups from the AHL. They had already used two of them, as (on paper) they technically sent Dwight King and Jordan Nolan to the AHL, then immediately recalled them...
