By
June 4, 2012

I guess he’ll play on the fourth line and get some power play time? I don’t think Lombardi or Sutter would use Gagne if it was a risky move. Unlike past Kings teams, this one is operating from a position of strength. I’m excited to see him play. And happy for him, too. BREAKING:...

By
May 30, 2012

And we're off...

  • Yes, suddenly Lewis is 6'4" and menacing. No, Mike, that was Dwight King.
  • I wonder if we can go the whole game without hearing "regathers."
  • I would like to keep it to under 10 incidences of "knifes" as a verb.
  • I guess Eddie Olczyk never really watched the Terry Murray Kings. I think he just...

By
May 27, 2012

“Disappointment” is an odd choice of words. I’m sure Marty McSorley is disappointed that, essentially, everyone blames him for losing the 1993 finals. Of course, no one blames him really, or at least not 100%. We all know the laundry list of blame: the Kings could have killed the penalty, they could have scored...

May 27, 2012

Maybe I’m just over-sensitive, but whenever I read that “these are the two lowest seeds ever to compete for the cup,” I hear the desire to put an asterisk next to the accomplishment of whoever wins this next series, like it’s somehow the fault of “parity” or the current playoff format that we are...
