Quick Should See a Decreased Role with the Kings
October 2nd, 2020 Jonathan Quick has done it all for the LA Kings. He’s been with the organization for his entire 13-year career and has the accolades to show for it. His biggest claim to fame is his historic 2012 playoff run when he posted an incredible 1.41 goals-against average (GAA), along with a spectacular .946 save percentage (SV%). The Kings...
Top 5 Current Kings to Watch in 2020-21
September 17th, 2020 For the 29th place Los Angeles Kings, last season was one to forget. The team lacked scoring and lost an absurd amount of road games. No matter how bad of a season it was, there were a few players that showed signs of hope. These should be the guys to watch in the 2020-21 season, as they can continue to uptrend. Although this list can...
Kings' Rebuild Won't Take Much Longer
July 8th, 2020 After winning Stanley Cups in 2012 and 2014, the Los Angeles Kings' talent has dried up, leaving them struggling to keep up with the younger and faster teams. The Kings have only won one playoff game since 2014, and have allowed much of their Stanley Cup roster to leave the squad. Luckily, many of these departures came with an influx of...

Kings Bank on Petersen to Take Over for Quick
July 20th, 2019 The Jonathan Quick succession plan has been set in motion, with the Los Angeles Kings re-signing 24-year-old third-stringer Cal Petersen to a three-year deal. Petersen vs. Campbell Maybe “third-stringer” isn’t an accurate description of what Petersen means to the Kings, though. Arguably one of the league’s top 10 goalie...

March 5th, 2018 In this inaugural edition of "Kings-in-Waiting", where I look at Los Angeles Kings prospects honing their craft in juniors or abroad, I focus my attention on goaltending prospect Matthew Villalta.

Cal Peterson Could Shutout Sabres
June 2nd, 2017 On Wednesday, Notre Dame goaltender and 2013 fifth-round Buffalo Sabres draft pick Cal Petersen announced he will leave school to turn pro. The decision gives the Sabres and new GM Jason Botterill 30 days to sign Petersen before he becomes an unrestricted free agent, a la Jimmy Vesey. Starting Friday, June 30, Petersen will...
Sabres Must Sign Cal Petersen
March 23rd, 2017 Throughout their 40-plus year history, the Buffalo Sabres have been fairly fortunate at the goaltending position. All time greats such as Roger Crozier, Grant Fuhr and Tom Barrasso have all guarded the Sabres' crease at some point or another. Dominik Hasek, arguably the greatest goaltender in NHL history, won back-to-back Hart...
Lehner's Injury Answering Some Questions
December 2nd, 2016 When Buffalo Sabres' general manager Tim Murray acquired goaltender Robin Lehner just hours before the 2015 NHL Entry Draft (along with David Legwand) in exchange for the 21st overall pick in that draft, fans of the blue and gold were skeptical. The (at the time) 23-year-old goalie, who Murray had a hand in selecting in the second round...

However, if you explore Buffalo's prospect system more thoroughly, you'll quickly find that the Sabres have another thing to brag about: goaltending. The Sabres possess control of several top...
NHL Draft 2013: The Goalie Edition (Part I)
June 29th, 2013 The 2013 NHL Entry Draft will undoubtedly be filled with a number of interesting players. Nathan MacKinnon, Jonathan Drouin, and Seth Jones are the likely candidates that will round out the top three of many mock drafts and analysts' rankings, but the 2013 NHL Draft will also feature a deep talent pool as the rounds move along.
