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...

Why was it stupid to trade Andrei Loktionov? Let’s review

Yesterday Dean Lombardi traded the most NHL-ready playmaker in the Kings prospect pool to New Jersey for a 5th round draft pick. Ever since Lombardi inexplicably chose not to petition to have Loktionov’s name engraved on the cup (while simultaneously petitioning for Davis 9 games Drewiske and Kevin 25 games Westgarth) we’ve been waiting...

2/5/13 – Game Day Notes

By
February 5, 2013

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....

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,...

Assorted Kings stats I find interesting

By
January 28, 2013

The Kings have spent the second least number of minutes at 5-on-5. They are 30 seconds ahead of the Oilers, who are last.  Kings lead the league in avg TOI 5-on-3, with 1.3 minutes per game. (They haven’t scored yet.) Kings are 26th in shots-for per 60 minutes of 5-on-4 ice-time. In other words,...

I think Simon Gagne might get dealt soon

By
January 21, 2013

And, no, I’m not reporting a rumor. I don’t know any rumors, and I don’t have sources anyway. So why am I saying such things? Here’s my reasoning: Gagne – Richards – Brown sucked Saturday. They were by far the worst line on the ice. This point in and of itself means nothing. Sutter...

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,...
