Westgarth for Stewart, and I say Lombardi’s not done yet

By
January 13, 2013

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...

The Alternate Reality No Lock-Out 2012-2013 Season

By
January 10, 2013

Jonathan Quick got me thinking. He said yesterday that even if there had been no lock-out, he wouldn’t have been able to play until, well, now. He would have missed half the season. Mostly likely, this means we would have seen 30-35 games of Jonathan Bernier and 5-10 of…Martin Jones? I would have liked...

2013 Kings’ opening night line-up?

By
January 6, 2013

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...

Who will still be on the Kings in 2013-14?

By
January 3, 2013

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...

Greatest Hockey Legends.com: Hollywood Ending?

By
June 5, 2012

The great and wise Joe Pelletier on the Finals so far. Read the whole thing, but here are some snips: Joe Pelletier, Geatest Hockey Legends.com: Hollywood Ending?. It is inevitable that LA wins the series now. New Jersey looks like a team that knows they are outmatched. I thought their strong forecheck game...

YIKES! Voynov thought about bolting for KHL in the middle of THIS SEASON

By
June 1, 2012

“When I got sent down, I thought about the KHL because, you know, I’m mad and sad,” Voynov said Friday afternoon . “My friends told me not to think about it, just wait and trust yourself and Lombardi.”

2011-2012 Kings Prospects Scoring, Adjusted

By
May 24, 2012

Since you already have 59 different places to go for traditional team stats, I decided to do something different. A few years back, behindthenet calculated conversion multipliers to be used to "translate" scoring stats from one league into equivalent NHL numbers. The idea being, for example, that one goal in NCAA is the rough...

How did these Kings get here in the first place?

By
May 18, 2012

None of the eleven players mentioned were undrafted UFA signings, although Lombardi has gone that route several times, most notably with Matt Moulson and Teddy Purcell (since departed), Martin Jones, Kevin Westgarth and Davis Drewiske.

Here's how the current Kings got here, in order of arrival:

A different Kings team: 2010 vs. 2012

By
April 14, 2012

Yesterday (seems like a month ago) we looked at how the Canucks have changed since the 2010 series against a markedly different Kings team. Here’s how different: RETURNING (9): Matt Greene Rob Scuderi Drew Doughty Anze Kopitar Justin Williams Brad Richardson Dustin Brown Jarret Stoll Jonathan Quick IN (14): Mike Richards Jeff Carter Dustin...
