Is Dean Lombardi vindictive? Does it matter?
by Quisp •
Yesterday, both Surly/Scribe and Matt Barry were ruminating on the fate of Jonathan Bernier. S&S serve up a potential destination; Matt reads the tea-leaves. And why not, the Kings suck, and Bernier is, after all, the Kings’ most popular trade rumor star.…
You’re all a bunch of Jeremy Roenicks
by Quisp •
Well, not all. Just the ones who didn’t play during the lock-out. Played during lock-out: Anze Kopitar, Dustin Brown, Trevor Lewis, Kyle Clifford, Jordan Nolan, Dwight King, Alec Martinez, Slava Voynov, Jake Muzzin, Jonathan Bernier. Didn’t play: Dustin Penner, Justin…
Who ARE these guys? What do they WANT? [Preview #2 - COL]
by Quisp •
Who are they? Colorado Avalanche What do they want? Make the playoffs. What is their ****ing problem? No injuries, but Ryan O’Reilly is still in the KHL. What, are we supposed to be scared? Since the Kings haven’t won yet, and are…

Kings 2013 Season Preview: x = 12 – y – 41*(z-5)/48
by Quisp •
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.…
Why did the Kings lose Thomas Hickey? I’ll tell you why
by Quisp •
I was sad to see Thomas Hickey go this morning. In an alternate universe, it’s Hickey and not Alec Martinez or Slava Voynov playing in LA with his name on the Stanley Cup. Does that sound crazy? Consider that Hickey’s…
Kings Quickie Roundtable 2013
by Quisp •
This was going to be a longer conversation, but we got interrupted by yesterday’s sudden flurry of activity, so I decided just to post what we have. The last time I participated in a proper roundtable of Kings’ bloggers, it…
Yeah, except Muzzin isn’t going to replace Mitchell
by Quisp •
Martinez (or an as yet not-acquired defenseman) will replace Mitchell. Muzzin, or Hickey, or Bodnarchuk, or Drewiske, or whoever, would be playing third pair minutes with Greene. So ask yourself this: who is more able to balance Greene’s faults? I’d…
