Utter Ridiculousness & A Solid Showing
On Monday the 16th, the Kings faced the Atlanta Thrashers at Staples Center and it was a wild game. Having the emotional and physical highs and lows with 6 goals for and 6 goals against caused me sheer exhaustion. If I ever wanted to know what it was like to be bipolar, I got a good taste of it....
Kopi-Star: Kings 5, Penguins 2
The Los Angeles Kings hosted the Pittsburgh Penguins last night and proved they deserve to be at the top of the standings. Things are clicking for the Kings and they show no signs of slowing down. Anze Kopitar is on FIRE and his line mates are providing support for him all the way. He is dominating...
Madness in March, the Pens defeat the Bruins 6-4
There's a lot you can take from a game like this. Both teams were playing their second day game in a row--which is huge for hockey players that are out of their usual game day routine of morning skate, meal, nap and game. Cut all of that out for a day game. Do it twice in a row and worlds will...

Frenchie says "Oui, Oui!"
Fairly big news on the Anaheim front, as the Ducks have signed Francois Beauchemin to a 2-year contract extension, salary yet unknown [Edit: Per the OC Register, it is for $1.65 M each year]. I'm fairly sure that this does not affect his $500k cap number this year*, as that cannot be adjusted by...
New Ducks blogger, and oh yeah, drafting is for suckers!
Duck fan Finny has started a new blog, Girl with a Puck, which already looks awesome. She’s already got me beat, in that she’s actually attended Duck practices, and has put together a compelling argument about why newcomer Ryan Shannon should make the club over enigmatic returnee Stan Chistov. Go...

Kunitz, the scoring "enabler", gets extended
