Habs Win, And The World Returns To Normal
Well, not quite. I mean hardly, really! Had all kinds trouble headlining this post. "Habs End Skid In Shoot Out" was just too boring and the win was, honestly, all too similar to some of the last five losses in the string. As the script remained almost the same, the post could have been...
2008 NHL Entry Draft - Day 1 Review
I'll get to what the Oilers did in a second, but first I'd like to go throught the various trades and some of my impressions from the top 10 picks. Darryl Sutter was the arguably the busiest GM on draft day (with the possible exceptions of Garth Snow and Dean Lombardi). Despite what virtually every...
Kings Gameday: This is Going to be a Long Week
Los Angeles Kings (22-34-10, 15th in West) vs. Columbus Blue Jackets (26-33-7, 12th in West)4:00 PM, FSN Prime TicketI said yesterday that I want the Kings to start losing because I want a high draft pick in June. This is half-true. Rationally, I want the Kings to do poorly because there’s no...
So That Went Well
The Kings "won" their arbitration case against Mike Cammalleri, locking him up for 2 years at $3.1 and $3.6 million dollars a year. This is awesome. I was hoping that they would have been able to get him for $4.5 million, and praying that we got him for $4 million. To get him for that price is...
This is Killing Me
Cammalleri's arbitration hearing was yesterday, but so far today there has been no word on the outcome. It's looking like it might have to wait until tomorrow (or possibly Monday, I don't know if arbiters work weekends), but if I hear anything I'll let you know. According to my boss, I've seemed...
Talkin' to Myself
I used to get very upset whenever someone brought up Mike Cammalleri. I was constantly told that he was too small, or too slow, or too black to make the NHL. (That last one, well, I’m not sure what that guy was talking about.) The conventional wisdom against Cammalleri was that he would never...

Los Angeles Kings (3-6, 4th in Pacific) vs. Nashville Predators (2-5, 5th in Central)10:30 PST, FSN WestThe Kings have a new website called LAKingsJunkie.com. It’s full of ATTITUDE and IN YOUR FACE ACTION and RANDOM CAPITALIZATION for some reason, but it does have my favorite part of any team...

Los Angeles Kings (4-6, 4th in Pacific) vs. Dallas Stars (9 straight vs. Kings)7:30 PST, FSN West(The Kings last beat the Dallas Stars on April 1, 2005. Here's what the Kings looked like back in that strange time, when madness ruled and I was still a twinkle in my father's eye.)The Kings finally...
Kings Gameday: Tape-Delayed Blog

Kings Gameday: Don't Feel Bad if the Kings Beat Your Team
Los Angeles Kings (yuck) @ Calgary Flames (23-17-8, 7th in West)6:00 PST, 1150 AMOne annoying thing about being the worst team in the league: you never beat someone. Every time the Kings win, fans of the other team will decry their team’s lack of effort, or complain that the team was caught looking...
