Kempe, Armia talk Olympic selections, national pride Sweden/Finland rivalry

It’s awfully fitting that Sweden and Finland announced their Olympic rosters on the same day. For all that gets made of the Canada/United States games here in North America, in Europe it’s the Sweden/Finland rivalry that’s the biggest one out there. Just like the North American rivalry, Sweden and Finland share a border. Both of […]

Angeles Analysis – The Right Reason To Reference The Standings

Between games against Tampa Bay and Minnesota, Jim Hiller took a bit of a different approach in Friday’s team meeting. He said it is rare that the coaching staff references the standings in those types of settings. On Friday, they did. Perhaps it shouldn’t be all that surprising. For all that’s gone wrong for the […]

FINAL – Kings 4, Wild 2 – Kuzmenko, Kuemper, Hiller

The LA Kings completed the mini sweep over the Minnesota Wild on Monday evening at Crypto.com Arena, as they skated to a 4-2 victory. The first period lacked goals but was certainly not short on pace, as the two teams skated to a very fast opening 20. Chances came at both ends of the ice, […]

3 Up, 3 Down for the Kings at the Halfway Mark

Man, what a strange 41 games. Probably as strange as I can recall in my time covering the team here. The Kings have most certainly underachieved over this stretch, that much is clear. In other seasons, that would’ve put them in a very precarious position. This season, though, has been bizarre and despite so many […]
