Rumor Rundown: Sabres Dangling Evander Kane?
June 7th, 2017 Evander Kane has rarely been a player securely entrenched in one place. The most recent years of his still young career have been productive but also clouded by trade rumors. A polarizing player, he's been off and on with Sabres owner Terry Pegula and Kane is back in the rumor mill again, this time perhaps being dangled by new Buffalo...

Martinez Quietly Having Teriffic Season
December 23rd, 2016 On a team already solid defensively thanks in large part to the work of reigning Norris Trophy winner Drew Doughty and two-time 40-point scorer Jake Muzzin, it's easy to overlook a 29-year old defenseman out of Rochester Hills, Michigan, who is quietly having a fantastic season for the Kings.

The result is 12 games in the NHL on Tuesday and 24 of the 30 teams — about 552 players — battling it out in fantasy hockey action. Who should you pick? What games should you focus on? There are lots of ways to go, but below are some...
Will L.A.’s Defense Bounce Back in 2016-17?
August 18th, 2016 There was much to be desired on the Kings’ blue line a season ago. A team that had great talent and equally great expectations was left standing at the first round alter, forced to watch the rest of the playoffs from the luxury of their pacific homes. The season may have ended against San Jose (the eventual Western Conference...
The End of the Line for the 2015-16 Kings
April 27th, 2016 All of the lights are off in the Kings' locker room. Another season has concluded, and for the second consecutive year it has yielded results that failed to meet lofty expectations. L.A. wanted a third Stanley Cup, another date with excellence, and one more round as the league’s gold standard. Instead, they were sent packing. Their...
A Quick End to a Much-Hyped Series?
April 16th, 2016 The Los Angeles Kings and San Jose Sharks have tremendous playoff history from the past few seasons. Expectations were sky-high for a great 2016 series between the two teams.

Views from the Kings' Blue Line: A February Progress Report
February 12th, 2016 There’s a lot to like about this current edition of the Los Angeles Kings. Jonathan Quick’s still turning away pucks like a hostile bouncer in West Hollywood, the premier forwards are leading by example, and as evident in the team's 9-2 drubbing of the Boston Bruins, the scoring depth has never looked better in L.A.. Yes, it’s an...
