I joined Jason Strudwick for another guest spot on The Team 1260 – Edmonton’s official hockey channel. Because not everybody had a chance to listen to the spot live, we thought it best to share the audio here.
In the segment we discussed the hockey fans in Los Angeles, the Kings’ slow start, Anze Kopitar rejoining the line-up coming off [...]

MayorsManor First Goal Contest: Game 3 – Kings at Oilers
January 24, 2013 By
In the two games played so far this season the Kings have notched three goals total – all from players who don’t normally register too high up on the scoring charts. For example, their totals from last year show just eight goals…combined.
Still, Kyle Clifford, Jordan Nolan and Rob Scuderi remain as the only LA players [...]
Clifford jumps the line, will get top-6 minutes on Thursday
January 23, 2013 By
For Kyle Clifford‘s 20th birthday in January 2011, then-coach Terry Murray gave the young forward a somewhat unexpected present – he promoted him to the top line for that night’s game with the St. Louis Blues. Even though the rookie had only three NHL goals lifetime, he had been one of the more impressive Kings’ players over [...]
Dean Lombardi impressed with a pair of former ECHL players
January 23, 2013 By
During every off-season of Dean Lombardi‘s tenure as General Manager in Los Angeles he’s been asked about possible free agents and trades that might be available to improve the Kings. Within his replies he was usually quick to point out that although he’d explore both those avenues, there was another far-more-important factor at play.
Lombardi repeatedly preached the [...]
Game 2: Kings at Avs – post-game notes, quotes and highlights
January 23, 2013 By
So much for that new look power play talked about here yesterday. The Kings went 0-6 with the man-advantage in last night’s 3-1 loss to the Colorado Avalanche.
Amze Kopitar returned to the line-up in Denver, but didn’t register a single shot in the game and uncharacteristically won less than half of the faceoffs he took [...]

Following a format we used yesterday as a final goodbye to the CHL and the time Alec Martinez spent there with the Allen Americans, here’s a quick recap of Kyle Clifford and Trevor Lewis in the ECHL (for anybody who wasn’t paying much attention during the NHL lockout). The story culminates with the two of them [...]
Trevor Lewis is thinking of fighting Kyle Clifford tonight?
January 4, 2013 By
It’s taken a week longer than expected, but it’s finally going to happen – a little Kings on Kings crime, courtesy of the ECHL.
Kyle Clifford and Trevor Lewis have been roommates, they’ve celebrated a Stanley Cup together and now – for the first time – they’ll face off against each other when the Utah Grizzlies [...]

January 4, 2013 By
Report filed by Scott Coffman for MayorsManor…
It’s been a successful start to the 2012-13 season for the Ontario Reign, especially considering they entered play as defending champions of the ECHL’s Pacific Division and have controlled the standings once again over the past few months.
The current campaign kicked off with their core roster returning from last year – Derek [...]
Kings at Coyotes – full Darryl Sutter post-game quotes
On Jake Muzzin’s first NHL goal: “I didn’t know it was his first goal NHL goal until after he scored it. But, he hit the net, you know? We talked about that yesterday; the importance of defensemen hitting the net.”
On Drew Doughty’s play of late: “I think our defense is solid. They played good all [...]
