May 11, 2008 - 4:07 PM - by CarlaMuller |
I highly encourage perusing the usahockey.com site for some pretty cool pictures, game blogs for the World Championship games, and the player blog of Adam Burish. I was surprised to see that USA Hockey in this tournament is very similar to the Kings, apparently the youth movement is contagious…. Who knew?! In fact, the guys have been split there for some drills/practices per Burish where the divide is between the Under 25's and the Over 25's. Think of the Kings, where a similar division could be made here with the Under 25's:
• Anze Kopitar
• Dustin Brown
• Jack Johnson
• Patrick O’Sullivan
• Brian Boyle
• Teddy Purcell
• Peter Harrold
The Over 25s include:
• Michael Cammalleri
• Lubomir Visnovsky
• Rob Blake
• Tom Preissing
• Jeff Giuliano (if resigned and the Union Leader wrote that the Kings want to talk contract with him prior to July 1)
• Mikal Handzus
• Derek Armstrong
• Jason LaBarbera
• Matt Ellis
• Alexander Frolov
• Kyle Calder
• Raitis Ivanans
Keep in mind that this Team USA represents a changing... [Read More] |

May 08, 2008 - 12:40 PM - by CarlaMuller |
Per Andy Strickland of 1380 ESPN and Hockey Buzz, reports in his latest blog: “Sources say the LA Kings will select Guelph D-man Drew Doughty with the 2nd overall pick.” Doughty a King?
The next best thing to Kings' fans other than the Daily News' Rich Hammond would have to be the Daily News' Don Fulton who has been getting the best interviews with Kings' prospects and draft picks. Read an excerpt from Fulton's Doughty interview: "Question: Can you tell the readers who haven’t had the chance to see you play what your playing style is as a defenseman? Doughty: I’m more of an offensive-defenseman. This year I’ve really worked on becoming more of a two-way player. I’ve become a lot better in the defensive zone, I like to take the body and hit a lot and I like to get the job done. I’ll do anything to get the job done, whether it is blocking shots or whatever it takes. M ... [Read More] |

Here I am innocently perusing non-work hockey searches on the internet when I see lo and behold, despite a dismal year for the Kings on the scoreboard; Dustin Brown and Patrick O’Sullivan have to be considered highlights. To that end, it turns out that the six year Kings’ player, Dustin Brown, makes Pierre McGuire’s second line right wing All-Monster Team of the 2007-2008 season. Check it out:
Pierre McGuire's 2007-08 All-Monster Team Left Wing Centre Right Wing
Alexander Ovechkin - Capitals
Vincent Lecavalier - Lightning
Jarome Iginla - Flames
Brenden Morrow - Stars
Mike Richards - Flyers
Dustin Brown - Kings
Ryan Malone - Penguins
Jonathan Toews - Blackhawks
Chuck Kobasew - Bruins
Alex Burrows - Canucks
Paul Gaustad - Sabres
David Clarkson - Devils McGuire’s All Monster Team

May 04, 2008 - 3:06 PM - by CarlaMuller |
I want to thank letsgokings.com contributor, Bureklord, who located and translated the below chat. With his permission and blessing, I thought everyone would enjoy some candid and pointed questions directed to the Kings’ builder player, Kopitar. Because you have such a good all-round game I'm interested if you think there are parts of the game that you can improve on to become the dominant player in the NHL like Ovečhkin or Crosby (defense, PK, battles on the boards, hitting, forechecking, maybe more shot decisions, because we're all certain, that you would score more goals this way)? I'm constantly working on all elements of my game, maybe sometimes I should take the shot, but the game is so fast that you have to decide in tenths of a second and it's hard to be smart about a decision you've already made. Which players would you most like to play with in this year's NHL roster (excluding the King's players)? I would most like to play with Henrik Zetterberg and Jarome Iginla. I'm wondering which club in the NHL you'd choose for your nex... [Read More] |

This week the Kings’ announced an increase in prices for most season ticket holders. The change came with considerable talk about statistics, graphs and comparisons to other NHL teams. The icing on the sundae is the pronouncement from Luc Robitaille that the team is losing more money since the lock-out than before. Ouch.
There will be meet and greets on May 20, 2008 and May 31, 2008 as well as a draft party at the Nokia Theatre for season ticket holders. (I will be the one there with a notepad in case anything note worthy takes place.) An alternate jersey will make an appearance next season and season ticket holders will get one for free.
It goes without question that this news is not an easy sell. Here are some articles, blogs and/or threads where it is being discussed: A Lot of Nerve Redux Daily News Blog on Price Increase LA Times on Price Increase [Read More] |
