Brad Richardson played like the Brad Richardson of last season when he coughed up the puck in overtime to seal it for the Chicago Blackhawks. It was a rough start for the Los Angeles Kings but they turned up the heat to take Chicago into Overtime. Not a bad game by any stretch and it was nice to grab a point. Your thoughts on the game?

It was like a game of NHL 2010 on Rookie Mode as the Los Angeles Kings notched six goals against the Columbus Blue Jackets at Staples Center last night. Alexander Frolov had a monster game with four points (1G, 4A) and newly acquired Fredrik Modin (1G, 1A) also had a great game. Incidentally, the conditional 7th round pick the Kings gave up for Modin only happens if the Kings win the Stanley Cup. I guess we’ll be hanging onto that pick!

Matt Greene is hilarious. But, to get the true sense of his sense of humor, you need to watch this video!

The Los Angeles Kings had a very nice send-off for the Olympians on the Colorado Avalanche and the Los Angeles Kings on Saturday. In total, the two teams are sending eight players to Vancouver (five for Los Angeles, three for Colorado). With the exception of Salei (playing for Belarus), the other seven player all have a shot at medaling. Enjoy the video!

In what looked to be a potential blowout for the Los Angeles Kings playing the bottom-feeder Edmonton Oilers, turned out to be a flat and uninspired effort from a team recently on a 9 game winning streak. Down 2-0 in the 3rd period and hearing the boo-birds at Staples Center, the Kings battled back with goals from Dustin Brown and Ryan Smyth and took the game into the 10th Round of a Shootout, only to lose the bonus point to none other than former King Lubomir Visnovsky.

Well, streaks are made to be broken. On a tough road game against the streaking-at-home Anaheim Ducks, the Kings went ahead first on a goal by Oscar Moller and proceeded to fall behind 3-1 before eventually losing 4-2, ending their franchise best winning streak at 9 games. Anze Kopitar scored his 27th goal of the season and the Kings lost their first game of the year against the Ducks. Next up, the lowly Oilers visit Staples Center.

When you talk of the Los Angeles Kings, you no longer have to utter the words “Wayne Gretzky” in the same sentence. Despite a horrendous first period, the Kings beat the Detroit Red Wings at another 1PM’er to break the franchise record of consecutive wins with 9 in a row. Jonathan Quick is one win away from breaking Mario Lessard’s all-time wins in a season by a Kings goaltender. The Kings now sit alone as fourth in the Western Conference with 75 points.

It’s 8 games, folks! That’s right, the Los Angeles Kings have extended their winning streak against the Anaheim Ducks and now sit fourth in the Western Conference with 73 points. 73 points!? What a difference a year makes. We will not be sellers. This team is ready to contend. The playoffs will happen this year. Enjoy the video!

If I told you at the beginning of the season that the Los Angeles Kings would have 71 points just 56 games in you would have laughed, right? Last night at Staples Center the Kings increased their winning streak to 7 as they took down the Sean Avery and the New York Rangers. Kopitar had a clutch shorty and Smyth had a great goal off of a nice play by Brown. Enjoy the vid!

That’s right, folks, the weary Los Angeles Kings came into New Jersey to face the Devils and they didn’t lose. This team has heart. This team has a will to win. This team wants to take us out of years of disappointment and mediocrity. The Kings got a clutch goal from Wayne Simmonds to tie it up and Drew Doughty closed it out on the powerplay. Wow.
