SWEET FANCY MOSES!

By

Kings win their sixth game in a row. Is that their longest streak of the season? Yes. It’s the longest Kings’ winning streak since they won 8 in a row last playoffs. Tyler Toffoli. TT. T2. Drew the penalty. Then made the Lewis goal happen. Trevor Lewis is in an awful lot of playoff...

2001 v DET, 2013 v STL — Kings come back from 0-2 to win in 6

By
May 10, 2013

For the second time in franchise history, the Kings came back from an 0-2 series deficit to win in six. For the second time in a calendar year, Dustin Penner scored a series-clinching goal that no Kings fan will forget. The Kings extend their consecutive playoff series winning streak to five. Jonathan Quick stole...

Monday morning bullets: playoffs, points-blown, rookie stats

By
April 1, 2013

Points-Blown page is updated, and shows: Columbus is much worse off than the official standings (and pundits) would have you believe. St. Louis is better off than the official standings say. This has mostly to do with the fact that Columbus has only 12 games left, and St. Louis has 15. Everyone else who...

Iginla approves Kings as trade destination…and? So?

By
March 24, 2013

I don't even know where Jarome Iginla is supposed to fit on the Kings. Third line center? And for that, a rental, we're supposed to give up -- what -- our best goalie this season? That would be stupid. A top prospect? Not Tyler Toffoli. A top-four defenseman? That's not going to happen; we're...

Kings rest, meanwhile: Sunday’s results

THE GOOD: Canucks lose, Coyotes lose, Avs half-lose. THE BAD: Wings win, Hawks win, Flames win, Ducks win. THE POINTS-BLOWN: with the Canucks losing, the Kings pull within 2 points-blown of 3rd in the West; 6 points-blown separate 3rd from 14th; no one is safe. Okay, the Hawks are probably safe from the Jackets, but that’s...

The logic of a third line that isn’t “defensive”

By
January 22, 2013

Every time I suggest that the Kings put someone like Oscar Moller, Andrei Loktionov, Tyler Toffoli, Teddy Purcell, Linden Vey, etc., on a so-called third line, I invariably get responses about how bad those players are defensively and how they would get crushed in match-ups against opponents’ top lines. Here’s the thing. Our third...

Revisiting the 2013-14 question

By
January 22, 2013

We looked at the possibilities for next season a few weeks ago, before Hickey and Westgarth moved on, and before the cap for 2013-2014 was announced to be $64.3MM. This summer’s UFAs: Penner, Gagne, Scuderi, Drewiske, Richardson. Assuming that Penner and Gagne both leave and Scuderi is re-signed, there will still be the need...

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...
