Angeles Analysis – Three Weeks To Go!

The other day I went to a concert at the Rose Bowl. Oasis. Sick show. At the height of it, in Pasadena, it was 94 degrees. Nothing screams hockey is back like 94 degrees in Pasadena, am I right? Not sure there’s ever been a worse transition than that. But hey. Hockey is just about […]

A healthy and motivated Drew Doughty? Exactly what the LA Kings need for the 2025-26 season

Jim Hiller was asked after Day 2 of training camp how he evaluates things internally when a veteran stands out during a training-camp scrimmage. His answer was very diplomatic, speaking about having a better understanding about who veteran players are, with these types of pops not being quite as important. After answering the question, he […]

The Kings’ young players aren’t all that young anymore and perhaps that’s just what’s needed to push the team forward

“I really don’t think you can win with young players.” That’s an interesting quote, isn’t it? Especially unattributed. The person who said it does not play for or coach for the LA Kings. It came from Colorado Avalanche captain Nathan MacKinnon, after last season’s trade deadline, when asked about the experienced players the team added. […]
