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 was…

Kings 2013 Season Preview: x = 12 – y – 41*(z-5)/48
by Quisp • • 6 Comments
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, Williams,…

Westgarth for Stewart, and I say Lombardi’s not done yet
by Quisp • • 8 Comments
Kevin Westgarth, loved and appreciated by pretty much everyone, lost his roster spot at some point in the spring of 2012, so it’s not a surprise that Dean Lombardi moved him when he got the chance. I have to say though, I am once again surprised by the excellent return (former 25th overall pick RW…
What I would like to see the Kings do this season
by Quisp • • 13 Comments
Split the starts between Quick and Bernier, more or less evenly. 28/20. No reason to burn Quick out, or let Bernier die on the vine. Commit to a third line that is fully offensive in nature, not a defensive stopper unit a la xx/Handzus/Simmonds, but a speed and skill line a la Granato/Donnelly/Millen. I nominate…
2013 Kings’ opening night line-up?
by Quisp • • 12 Comments
The 2013 season starts in 10-14 days. Camp starts in less than a week, I suppose. Anze Kopitar and Willie Mitchell sound like they’re out with knee injuries for at least a few weeks. Tyler Toffoli has been tearing up the AHL. Jonathan Quick either has just been cleared to play (surgery, remember?) or is…
Who will still be on the Kings in 2013-14?
by Quisp • • 28 Comments
2013-14, that’s this fall, by the way. The NHL and NHLPA have apparently agreed to allow 2 buy-outs per club for 2013-14. That’s two buy-outs that will not count against the cap. The point is to make it easier for teams to get below the presumed $60 million cap ceiling. I don’t know what other…
I Don’t Care How You’re Doing in Europe
by Quisp • • 2 Comments
I derive great satisfaction from following prospects, especially Kings’ prospects, playing in other leagues. But it turns out I don’t care at all how established NHL players are doing while playing in other leagues. Aside from an over-riding concern that everyone stays healthy for that distant day when the NHL returns, I don’t have an…
Six years ago: Rich Hammond’s first post on the new Kings blog
by Quisp • • 2 Comments
October 27, 2006, six years ago this month. The LA Daily News unveils its blog devoted to the Los Angeles Kings, to be written by reporter Rich Hammond. Dean Lombardi had been GM for all of five months. Jonathan Bernier and Trevor Lewis had been selected in the first round of June’s draft. Pavol Demitra…
