Last cuts are coming, and my guess at the opening night roster:

By
September 28, 2009

Smyth/Kopitar/Williams Purcell/Stoll/Brown Frolov/Handzus/Simmonds Ivanans/Lewis/Harrold (Clune , Richardson) Martinez/Doughty Johnson/Scuderi Drewiske/Greene (SOD/susp.) Quick Ersberg Bernier That’s my guess. Hickey will get sent down; no loss of face there. DL will keep three goalies up and give Bernier a game or two. If...

I don’t think it’s a good idea to draw any kind of conclusion from pre-season games. But what the h***, that’s all we have right now

By

If Frolov is anything less than stellar in his contract year (i.e. if he takes nights off), he will get dealt sooner rather than later. And Frolov is especially vulnerable the first 10-15 games, I think. If he plays like an “enigma,” I think DL will have a few chances to ship him to...

What I Learned by Listening to Kingscast Podcasts of the Kings Fest or Hockey Fest or Deanopalooza or whatever it’s called

By

Stoll thinks possibly his LW is Smyth and is more sure that his RW is Brown (maybe that’s from the Inside the Kings comments section, I forget). Terry Murray is going to start Smyth on the first line with Kopitar and Williams. SOD is going to start off camp paired with Doughty. Scuderi is...

Why Heatley to Kings Doesn’t Make Sense (but still might be good)

By
August 21, 2009

Matthew Barry just posted Why Heatley to LA Makes Sense. I’m of two minds. One of my minds could talk myself into pretty much anything. The other has a low tolerance for locker-room poison (e.g. Cammalleri, Blake, Avery). For the sake of argument, though, I’m going to pretend to agree with Matthew’s assertion that...

Goal Differential: How the Non-Playoff Teams Can Become Playoff Contenders — NHL FanHouse

By
August 19, 2009

NHL Fanhouse corroborates what I said earlier about the Kings’ playoff chances being tied to goal differential (post here). I said the Kings needed to add 38 goals while cutting 4 goals against. They say (see below) the Kings need a 47 goal improvement; I said 42 would do it. I based my numbers...

Puck Daddy — Eulogy: Remembering the 2008-09 Vancouver Canucks

By
May 13, 2009

The Canucks are gone, and all we are left with is questions. Why did it happen so suddenly? Should we have seen it coming? Why is it impossible to find a single hockey fan, outside of British Columbia, that feels the slightest bit of warmth towards them? Will their passing hit loved ones particularly...
