A Funny or Die video pokes fun at the Los Angeles Kings' (and by extension hockey's) current lack of celebrity. A pair of self-appointed fame makers try to show a few team members—Mike Richards, Anze Kopitar, Matt Greene, & Drew Doughty—some tricks of the trade. more ›

Anaheim Ducks defeat San Jose Sharks 3-2. The Sharks’ pregame show was happy that Ducks’ no. 1 goaltender Jonas Hiller was given the day off to be replaced by Dan Ellis. All Ellis did was make 41 saves, 15 of which came in a third period that saw the Ducks get very sloppy. The Ducks are now 4-1-0 early in this season. more ›

Granted they racked up “only” 582 yards of offense, but they held the Bruins to 290 yards of total offense in their rout of UCLA. more ›

The Kings were riding a comfy 3-0 lead late in the second period on Thursday night, and were ready to cruise to a victory, but they didn't account for Anaheim's Bobby Ryan. The rookie who began his season in the minors and was called up in November put on a clinic, scoring a hat trick (three goals) against Kings goaltender Jonathan Quick in the span of 2:21 to set a new franchise record and also tie the game. more ›

Now that your Los Angeles Kings have finally hired a coach, they can get aggressive about putting a plan in place to disappoint as many fans as possible this year. It will be hard to top last seasons next to last place finish, but then, I felt the exact same way a year ago, and the Kings didn’t let me down.
