Johnathan Quick has agreed to a 10 year, 58 million dollar contract with the Los Angeles Kings starting with the 2013-2014 season. To say the Kings fans are happy is a huge understatement. We have a great goalie!! We have a great goalie!! Our goalie is better than yours!! Take a deep breath. The team […]

What better way to celebrate the Stanley Cup than with chocolate and raspberries! I know usually we party with beer and wings, but here is a little change-up in your celebratory diet. Since winning the cup I’ve found my cooking has also lightened up. Instead of the usual after-season hum drums, yelling for trades and sanctions, I […]

I just had to share these wonderful videos. Just when you think you can’t get a lump in your throat anymore – that you are lumped out, along comes the video that The Mouth made over at Crowned Royal. What a fantastic job! This rivals the pros and this has more heart: The next one is from […]

The Los Angeles Kings will have 2 players to represent the team at the NHL Awards in Las Vegas. After each season, the NHL hands out the awards to its best performers for that year. The playoffs are not included as the voting was counted after the season and pre-playoffs. The NHL Awards include The […]
For me, this season with the Los Angeles Kings hockey teams started with Ilya Kovalchuk. It ended with the Stanley Cup. When I decided to jump on the Kings’ bandwagon at the beginning of the season, I had no idea where it would lead. I just wanted to support my long-suffering sister who loved the […]

Peter DeBoer made me mad the day before yesterday. He said the 1942 record of the last team to win 4 in a row after being behind by 3 was a record that would not go 200 years. He said why not the Devils to break it now? Well, I fumed over this for two […]

SUTTER: “There’s not enough of a difference in the series. Brodeur was awesome, I think, the other night. We need, probably, Jonathan to be that tomorrow.’’ I copied that quote from Hammond’s site. You can read more here. But the fact of the matter is you need your goalie to steal a game for you […]

Whew! I feel like I can breathe now. The crazy Cinderella story is gone. Win the Cup in 4. Absurd. Sure, that would have been a nice fantasy but the Devils didn’t get to the final by being good looking. They are a great hockey team. The Kings have nothing to be bummed about on […]

The definition of a coach is to Inspire, Motivate and Educate. Darryl Sutter has done all 3 of these. He has lived and breathed hockey all of his life. Prior to the appearance of Sutter, the Kings were a great defensive team. Then they were taught to balance their game. The fact is that Sutter has prepared them […]
