JARRET STOLL DOES NOT SHOOT HIGH GLOVE (Post-Series Bullets)

By
April 22, 2012

  My son had just finished telling me Stoll always shoots high glove. And yet. The boy is 8 years old. It’s his first series win as a Kings’ fan. He jumped up and down for at least 30 seconds. As we all know, 11 years since the last series win. And before that,...

Game 4, Pre-Game: well, THIS is new

By
April 18, 2012

  The Kings have never swept a seven-game series before. They’ve never been up 3-0 before either. As far as I can tell, their longest playoff winning streak is five games, starting with the last four games of the 2001 Detroit series and continuing with a win in game one of round two against...

Vancouvers Canucks’ Daniel Sedin won’t travel for Game 3 – ESPN Vancouver Canucks forward Daniel Sedin will not travel to Los Angeles for Game 3 of the Western Conference quarterfinal series Sunday night against the Kings, coach Alain Vigneault confirmed Saturday after practice in Vancouver.

I have a different problem with the mean Kings tweet

By
April 13, 2012

The tweet in question, issued late Wednesday night from the team’s official account after the Kings beat the Vancouver Canucks in the first game of their playoff series, said: “To everyone in Canada outside BC, you’re welcome.” Lombardi said on Thursday that, “In no way did this reflect the opinion of the players,...

Game One: Kings 4, Canucks 2

By
April 11, 2012

Game one goes to the Kings. That’s an odd feeling. That was one of those games the Kings of old knew how to lose. Who are these guys? By which I mean, a game in which the Kings came out strong, dominated, got stone-walled, got a dumb penalty followed by a quick goal-against. Etc....

Awwwww: “He’s a good little player” – Loktionov Recalled

By
April 10, 2012

  Loktionov will meet the team in Vancouver. His addition is notable in one way. After the trade deadline, the Kings can only made four call-ups from the AHL. They had already used two of them, as (on paper) they technically sent Dwight King and Jordan Nolan to the AHL, then immediately recalled them...

Why does this headline bug me?

By
April 8, 2012

“Kings Must Face Best after Blowing Lead” That’s the headline of Lisa Dillman’s article tonight. I think it bugs me because “the best” was not determined until a few minutes before it was determined who the best would be playing. St. Louis could easily have turned out to be “the best.” So it’s Vancouver....
