Posted on 23 Oct 2011 by Matt Preston.
History can be fickle. For a subject that should be completely factual, history is littered with opinion that can tell the same story in a variety of different ways.

Your (Early) Kings Trade Deadline Guide
Posted on 20 Jan 2011 by Eric Cooney.
The Kings are in a state of disrepair to a certain degree. It's not awful, although one might be inclined to feel that way with their recent set of losses. Yet, there is hope that the addition of 1 or 2 key pieces can change the Kings' fortunes, and if you're 1 or 2 pieces away from success, you're not in a terrible place.

If anyone ever tells you a hockey game needs five or six goals to make ...

Sturm, Healing Kings, and More
Posted on 7 Dec 2010 by Eric Cooney.
On Sturm… Last week we almost saw the Kings make a swap with the Bruins for Marco Sturm. The deal was nixed for vague reasons, but the assumption is that Sturm would not be ready nearly as soon as the Kings expected. Exactly what the sticking point was will likely remain a mystery.
