Los Angeles Kings

Line Over the Boards April 8th: Descending the Throne

The LA Kings nipped at the heels of the Vegas Golden Knights and the Western Conference lead for most of March. They went on a dominant 10-0-2 run in March and looked like the top challenger out of the West. Since that run, the Kings have been slipping. Their defensive structure remains intact, but offensively […]

This Week On Oilers Hockey: 25

A week without a single loss. Kane, Draisaitl, and McDavid all reached 300 career goals. Draisaitl recorded his third 50 goal season. Back-to-back shutouts from both goalies after not having even one all season long. And the Edmonton Oilers are officially a playoff team in 2023 after Saturday night’s win. Yes, this was a very […]

Jordan Spence Deserves a Roster Spot

Amongst the Kings’ recent success, one would think there is little to no room for improvement for this already outstanding roster.

Quick Off to Great Start in Vegas

Do not look now, but it looks like Vegas Golden Knights’ new goaltender Jonathan Quick has turned back the clock. After struggling with the Los Angeles Kings for much of the season, his fortunes, at least for now, seemed to have changed in Vegas. That might be an understatement. Since being traded to the Golden Knights […]

Los Angeles Kings goaltender Jonathan Quick (32) makes a glove save

There was no faith in Jonathan Quick

Things started great as they played the Winnipeg Jets. The game was a back-and-forth goal fest and even went to overtime and then a shootout. Everyone was riding high on a win, then, later that night, the trade was announced. Jonathan Quick was traded to the Columbus Blue Jackets, and the air went out of […]

Wild Will Need Their Goaltending To Be Big Down the Stretch

For the last 11 games, everything went the Minnesota Wild’s way. The team gained at least a point in every game, and more importantly, they put themselves right in the thick of things in the Central Division. In fact, thanks to their recent stretch of outstanding play, as of this writing (Thursday, March 9), the […]

Kings Continue Winning Ways

Going into the season, if one were to tell you that the Los Angeles Kings would be one of the league’s best teams this season, would you have believed them? I know that I would not have. Sure, I figured they had some good players and would find a way to squeak into the playoffs, […]
