A Franchise Record 9
Posted on 7 Feb 2010 by Eric Cooney.
The Kings certainly didn't make their franchise record 9th win in a row easy on themselves. They spotted the desperate Red Wings 3 goals in the first period. However, “coming from behind to win” is just one of the many feathers these new Kings have in their hat. The first period was sloppy, especially for the Kings who yielded 3 goals. Detroit had all of the fire in the fir...

Streak At 8, Kovie Drama Over, Roenick’s Mistake
Posted on 5 Feb 2010 by Eric Cooney.
The Kings survived a near third period meltdown to beat rival Anaheim and extend their win streak to 8. The win moved the Kings into 4th place, ahead of the Phoenix Coyotes. I'll get to the streak later. A lot to talk about tonight, so I'll keep the game summary brief. In a game that was sure to excite even the biggest hockey cynic, the Kings and Ducks combined for 10 goals. Aft...

Kings New Tactic: Stand On Ice, Do Nothing
Posted on 4 Feb 2010 by Eric Cooney.
Okay, so that's not true. However, I read an article today referred to me by Puck Daddy that reminded me why some people don't like hockey. In an article on the L.A. Times website, columnist T.J. Simers wrote about how he essentially had no choice but to write about a Kings game. He spends the first three paragraphs literally apologizing for forcing his unfortunate readers to read ...

Kings Notch 7th Straight Win
Posted on 3 Feb 2010 by Eric Cooney.
The Kings decided they liked winning so much they might as well keep doing it. Their hot-streak at the end of January carried into February with a victory over the visiting New York Rangers on Tuesday night. The Kings added to their perfect road trip with a 2-1 win at home. Anze Kopitar continued his hot streak with a shorthanded goal in the second period. Ryan Smyth tallied what would be t...

Late Surge in New Jersey, Trade Talk
Posted on 2 Feb 2010 by Eric Cooney.
The Kings decided to end their 5 game road trip in shocking fashion. They showed up late to their contest with the Devils on Sunday. About 1:46 left in the game, to be exact. Down by 2 in the second period, the Kings found life when Michal Handzus scored with less than half a minute remaining. If that gave the Kings any life going into the third period, they sure didn't show it. The D...

Special Teams Key, Kings Best Bruins
Posted on 31 Jan 2010 by Eric Cooney.
The game in Boston started much the way the game in Columbus began; the Kings were getting run over. The Kings spent most of the first period in their own zone as the Bruins skated circles around them. However, much the way it was in Columbus, the Kings were the team to strike first. Los Angeles got the scoring started on the powerplay as Dustin Brown redirected Anze Kopitar's shot from...

Quick, Kings Top Jackets 4-1
Posted on 29 Jan 2010 by Eric Cooney.
If it weren't for Jonathan Quick, Thursday night's game against the Blue Jackets could have been over just a few minutes into the contest. The Los Angeles Kings held off a furious opening onslaught by the Columbus Blue Jackets and managed to tilt the ice in their favor. Columbus came out with serious jump that put the Kings back on their heels. The Jackets dominated along the boar...

Trade Deadline Preparation
Posted on 26 Jan 2010 by Eric Cooney.
The NHL trade deadline is fast approaching, what will your team do? The trade deadline is right around the corner and rumor has it the Kings are in the market for some of the most sought-after rentals. There is no doubt that the Kings could use a player or two to fill some gaps in their lineup, however GM Dean Lombardi is generally not the type to sell the farm for a rental. With added empha...

Kings Rally, Top Wings in Detroit
Posted on 24 Jan 2010 by Eric Cooney.
It looked like another opportunity slipping away from the Los Angeles Kings. After allowing 2 goals in a 2:02 span early in the first period, the Kings went into the dressing room with some questions to answer. It took less than 2 minutes into the 2nd period for Anze Kopitar to answer. Brad Richardson fought his way to the front of the net and chipped a loose puck over Detroit goaltender Ji...

Los Angeles Looking to Subtract Jack Johnson’s Minus-18?
Posted on 23 Jan 2010 by Eric Cooney.
The Kings head to Detroit today to take on the Red Wings in a battle for a Western Conference playoff spot. Their improved effort in a win against Buffalo on Thursday could be a boost for the Kings, but once again distraction rears its ugly head. Much has been made of General Manager Dean Lombardi's critical comments about Jack Johnson and the coaching he received in college. Johnson fo...

Posted on 22 Jan 2010 by Eric Cooney.
Welcome Kings Fans to the inaugural post on Royal Subjects! If you aren't familiar with my previous blog Great Ice-Pectations, you can check it out here. Well, there is plenty to talk about in the Kingdom today, so without further ado I'll get started. Michal Handzus and Dustin Brown pointed out the same problem with the Los Angeles Kings; effort. One day after both players lament...
