First there was the whole daylight savings thing. Then the Nashville Predators were in town. Terry Murray has yet to beat them as head coach of the Los Angeles Kings. Anybody else smell disaster? This was a particularly spirit-less effort by the Kings today. A couple more losses and we will start falling rapidly.

Man, I love this team! The LA Kings were in Dallas to face Marc Crawford and the Dallas Stars. Young netminder Jonathan Bernier came in and played a very solid game while Jonathan Quick was with his wife delivering their first child. It was an all-around solid effort last night with a long shootout that the Kings excel in.

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!
