The Kings Triple Crown Line:

 

Look at how awesome those yellow unis are.  I know I'm being repetitive, but those should come back.  Soon.

Yes, the Kings really are in first place.  Astounding.

Kiefer Sutherland owns a bizarre portrait of Lucky Luc.

Wayne Simmonds has knee surgery to repair a torn meniscus.

Dustin Brown is ticked at Alexander Frolov if you were to read between the lines.

25 years of Kings draft picks:

The arrows indicate the picks traded to Edmonton for Wayne Gretzky.  Los Angeles drafts have yielded 7 top five picks, 5 more top ten picks, 3 number elevens and Wayne Gretzky in the last 25 years.  Rebuilding through the draft doesn't always work.

That has been appearing with some regularity on these injury reports. I’ll look into it.

That’s NHL-speak for “we don’t want to get too specific about whether it’s upper or lower body”

Hmmm, looks like the pollsters were right. Nilsson got promoted, went -1, and we lost by 1. We should hire C&B readers as associate coaches.
