The Minnesota Wild may be surging right not but the Los Angeles Kings still look a bit rusty. It was a very disappointing game for a sell-out crowd at Staples Center last night. The Kings tied it late but the Wild shut the loud crowd up quickly as they scored a few seconds later. David Courtney hadn’t finished announcing the Kings goal.
This is a great little video from Matt Greene and Kings Vision simply asking what gifts each Kings player would get for one another. Matt Greene may be a tough, rugged defenseman on the ice but he is hilarious off of it. Enjoy the video while the Los Angeles Kings enjoy some well-deserved time off.
With Smyth, Stoll, Simmonds, Johnson and Jones out of the lineup, did anyone expect a win tonight? I didn’t. That said, the Los Angeles Kings played a balanced game against the Calgary Flames. Corey Elkins nabbed his first career NHL goal the the Kings are now on an 8-game break. Let’s hope we get back our key players on December 26th.
Really? The Los Angeles Kings are still the best team in the Western Conference? Without Ryan Smyth, Wayne Simmonds and Jarret Stoll? Jonathan Quick was awesome tonight and the Kings got some excellent secondary scoring. Hey, even Sean O’Donnell had a goal tonight. Jack Johnson went down with an ankle injury tonight. How soon can our 8-game break come? Exactly!

Another injury? That’s right, folks, you heard it right. Jarret Stoll now has a groin injury which he suffered last night. This should make for a fun road-trip! The Kings looked flat last night in Vancouver and could definitely use a bit of a break. With Stoll out, who centers the second and third line?
Wait, the Los Angeles Kings are one point behind the San Jose Sharks? Really? The Kings? That’s right, folks, the LA Kings are playing some serious hockey this season. Last night, against the Coyotes, they gave up the lead and took things to a shootout….and it was a long one. Quick was, again, spectacular in net last night. What is your biggest surprise this season?

When the Kings decide to start Erik Ersberg against the San Jose Sharks, we never expect to compete, much less win. However, the Los Angeles Kings exceeded expectations last night as they delivered a win in overtime at the Shark Tank. Anze Kopitar, Dustin Brown and Teddy Purcell all broke their goal-less streaks last night. Did any of you expect this?
The Los Angeles Kings are now 5-3-1 without Ryan Smyth and they had a good game tonight. Rob Scuderi was back and you could tell his presence was missed. Jonathan Quick had another strong game and the Kings secondary scoring kept things going.
Despite powering their way through to a shootout, the Los Angeles Kings were not playing good afternoon hockey (again). Brad Richardson continues on his goal-scoring tear with his third goal in three games. Scott Parse also added to the tally while Kopitar and Brown remain scoreless. Oscar Moller has just been called up. What does that mean for Teddy Purcell?
You know it’s a weird game when Brad Richardson scores and Anze Kopitar doesn’t. The Los Angeles Kings hosted the Ottawa Senators at a half-full Staples Center last night and it was a bizarre see-saw game right until the end. While it was nice to see some goals, it was a sloppy game by both teams. Check out the highlights!
