Pittsburgh PenguinsWhether you’re rooting for the team wearing dark jerseys or the team wearing white jerseys, it’s the men in stripes that seem to be getting much of the attention this spring. Referees have long been used as scapegoats by teams after losses, but are they finally starting to earn their grief? In just two weeks, ...
As playoff teams make adjustments for what they hope will be a successful two month journey and those already eliminated start to evaluate their seasons, coaches and management well delve through a large variety of player statistics. Some teams will look towards advanced statistics (Corsi, Fenwick, etc.) and everyone will look at the basics (points, ...
With a playoff spot officially clinched, the last week of the season is a great time to look back at some of the better regular season performances before shifting towards the playoffs. The LA Kings have flown under the radar for most of this season. They overcame a slow start in the first quarter of ...
After Sunday’s shootout loss to the Anaheim Ducks, the LA Kings found themselves in 4th place in the Western Conference and 2nd in the Pacific Division. The Ducks now have a nine point lead on the Kings for the division race with only nine games to go. Barring some unforeseen collapse, it’s pretty safe to ...

The last team to win a game in 2012 was also the last team to reach the 12 game mark in the NHL this season. Unfortunately for the Los Angeles Kings, the first quarter of their season has been a far cry from their magical Stanley Cup run last spring. Through 12 games, the Kings ...
As the Pittsburgh Penguins hit the quarter-season mark with a 3-1 loss to the New Jersey Devils on Saturday, fans once again started murmuring about one of the oddest goaltending “controversies” in the NHL. With an 8-4 record, Pittsburgh is currently 2nd in the Atlantic Division and has played quite well as of late. Upon ...
Los Angeles Kings forward Dustin Penner is known for a lot of things in the NHL. The two time Stanley Cup winner (’07 Ducks, ’12 Kings) made it to the NHL as an undrafted free agent back in the 2005-’06 season and watched his stock soar as a power forward. Despite his quick assent into ...
