Kings Claim First Stanley Cup
Posted on 12 Jun 2012 by Eric Cooney.
Belief and disbelief. Two words Los Angeles Kings fans are now very familiar with. It's always easy to believe when things are going well. Yet, when the chips are down you learn who the real fans are. After a slow start, a coaching change, extended losing streaks, and goal droughts there wasn't a lot to believe in for Kings fans. A #8 seed only meant another early exit at the hands of...

5 Reasons No One Should Be Surprised By the Kings
Posted on 29 Apr 2012 by Eric Cooney.
The Kings are playing quite well for the 8th seed in the West. They toppled the 1st seed Vancouver Canucks, who just won their second straight President's Trophy. I know it's just 1 game into the 2nd round against the 2nd best team in the West (and league, really) but the Kings Game 1 road victory poses some questions. How is this 8th seed so good? I know it's not the first time an 8th ...

Kings Quarter-Season Report Card
Posted on 23 Nov 2011 by Eric Cooney.
21 games down and the Kings are in pretty good position, 4th in the Western Conference. However, as per usual, the West is very tight with just 6 points separating 1st place and 11th place. Though the Kings entered the season with praise from pundits, they haven't looked quite like the dominant force they're supposed to be just yet. It could be a chemistry thing with a few new faces and i...

Kings Head East
Posted on 13 Oct 2011 by Eric Cooney.
It's still quite early in the season and with a record of 1-1-0 it's hard to evaluate whether the Kings summer of roster upheaval is going to pay off. As of now it looks as though the added offensive depth will be a boon to the Kings provided everyone can stay healthy. Let's take a look at some things you should be thinking about as the Kings get set to face-off against New Jersey: -What's ...

Own the Podium? More like Own the Russians!
Posted on 25 Feb 2010 by Corey Krakower.
In a performance that can only be described as epic, the ice hockey team fielded by Canada finally came together and put on a show similar to what people see when they watch the Harlem Globetrotters dominate the Washington Generals. After a very mediocre preliminary round that had many including myself questioning goaltending, speed on defense and intensity up front, Team Canada answered all of...

TEAM CANAndrum – An Overview of Canada’s 3 Preliminary Games
Posted on 22 Feb 2010 by Corey Krakower.
It wasn’t supposed to be like this. This was supposed to be easy. Martin Brodeur is the greatest goalie of all time and has won a gold medal. Chris Pronger and Scott Niedermayer are first ballot hall of famers. Keith and Seabrook are the best D-pairing in the NHL and can stop anyone. Dan Boyle anchors the best PP in the Western Conference. The San Jose line is unstoppable. Sidney Crosby i...

On Monday, December 7, I posted a blog called “Solid Gold” , in which I tried to project what Team Canada will look like. 2 weeks later; I am ready to submit...

After a dismal showing in 2006, Steve Yzerman is now the man entrusted by Hockey Canada to piece together a winner on home soil. Yzerman has already let it be known that he will be looking for “...

A Troubled Red Head
Posted on 16 Apr 2009 by Ian Altenbaugh.
In this installment of Around the Atlantic we look at game one from the Flyers/Penguins first round match. We also look at what the Flyers will have to do if they want this to go beyond four games. Here is a real-time blog I kept while watching the game: - All this cross-ice passing the Flyers are doing five minutes into the first will come back to bite them. - 5:04 into the first period ...
