NHL blog, LA Kings hockey news and interviews from The Mayor
August is historically the slowest month of the year for hockey news – so, we’re pretty sure you’re dying without your daily fix.
As usual, we’re here to help!
Over the next few weeks we’ll be taking a look back at the biggest and best stories from the 2011-2012 season. Now, we know there are some of [...]
With the Western Conference Finals finally set to begin later today, here’s an all-inclusive kick-off article…

We’ll have a bunch of comments from the Kings players and GM Dean Lombardi up on the site throughout the day today – yet, first, we need to hear from you. After LA’s first round win over Vancouver, MayorsManor readers voted the 3-stars of the series as Jonathan Quick, Dustin Brown and Jarret Stoll. Quick [...]

The schedule is set (see here) and things will kick off Wednesday in Vancouver.
Of course, the Kings lost a playoff series to the Canucks two years ago in six games. Do you expect things to be different this time around? LA has added Mike Richards, Jeff Carter and Willie Mitchell since then. And Jonathan Quick has only [...]
As first announced on MayorsManor a few weeks ago, the LA Kings will be bringing back their vintage purple (or Forum Blue) and gold jerseys next season for three games in conjunction with pre-game celebrations dubbed ‘Legends Nights.’ To properly select the three candidates worthy of being honored we’ve recently run a few polls, breaking [...]
Earlier today, I was on the All the Kings Men podcast, for my usual ‘Mayor’s Mondays’ spot. We talked about the week that was for the LA Kings – including games vs. San Jose, St. Louis and Boston. We also touched on Jonathan Quick’s shutout record, recapped how some of the Kings top prospects have been [...]
In tyring to select three worthy candidates to honor during next season’s LA Kings Legends Nights, you have to look back over their entire 45-year history. In doing so, it’s almost impossible to compare players from the ’70s with current stars. So, we’ve tried to make things easier by grouping players into three eras – [...]
Earlier today, I was on the All the Kings Men podcast, for my usual ‘Mayor’s Mondays’ spot. We talked about the week that was for the LA Kings – including three wins over Detroit, Anaheim and Nashville.
