It’s time for more input from the readers.
For the first time since December 2008, the Kings played back-to-back home games on Monday and Tuesday.
The first contest featured a boring 40 minutes, where the Kings were limited to just six shots on goal, but began the third period with a 1-0 lead. Then came an offensive explosion [...]

Inside the Mind of LA Kings center Colin Fraser
March 6, 2013 By
Colin Fraser may only see fourth line minutes with the LA Kings, but he’s a top-line interview and power play specialist when it comes to humor. Some of his best work may have come during the recent lockout too, when he was tweeting questions to guests appearing on the MayorsManor show – like the time he [...]
Dwight King and a Roberto Luongo look-a-like contest
March 2, 2013 By
One of the reasons we’re so fond of our Word Association segment is that it can be akin to sifting for gold. Amid the typical media questions – that some players find ridiculously boring – the format can suddenly produce a hidden treasure. And that’s what happened as we gathered comments to use in our [...]
Kings players talk hatred for and rivalry with the Canucks
March 2, 2013 By
As we’ve written about many times over the last few years, most of the Kings players don’t like those Canucks very much. But, on a scale of 1-to-10, would they put their disdain at a 10, like Drew Doughty does?
“Yeah they could be up there for sure,” said Colin Fraser. “For one, they have a lot [...]
Kings players on which Canucks defenseman comes to mind
March 2, 2013 By
Last hour we posted some Word Association with seven members of the LA Kings, where they took on four big names from the Vancouver Canucks. As always, there were some very interesting answers.
Now, let’s go in a slightly different direction.
We threw a twist into things and asked “When you hear ‘Vancouver defenseman,’ which player comes [...]

February 27, 2013 By
Several LA Kings players said they didn’t have redemption on their minds when playing the Anaheim Ducks on Monday, despite a 7-4 loss at the Honda Center earlier in the season being perhaps their low point of the year.
What does that have to do with tonight, you ask? Well, a recent last second loss in Detroit has been [...]
Colin Fraser ready for ‘a tough barn’ in Nashville tonight
February 7, 2013 By
Forward Colin Fraser has faced the Nashville Predators 18 times in his career and picked up three assists along the way – with the most recent one coming during his last visit to Music City. He helped set up Drew Doughty that night in a 5-4 Kings win – which also stands as as Jonathan [...]
Colin Fraser bringing the Canucks hate, even on his birthday
January 28, 2013 By
For his 28th birthday Colin Fraser gets to play the Vancouver Canucks at Staples Center.
“Just another game day,” he said with a chuckle. “I don’t think there’s anything special about the 28th, maybe I’ll get something special on my 30th birthday.”
Then, in typical Fraser fashion, he was quick to give a shoutout to others.
“I’ve had [...]
Fight Club: three Kings vs three Coyotes
January 26, 2013 By
Usually when two division rivals meet up there’s a good chance for some fireworks. Over the course of their six-game series during the regular season last year, it’s fair to say the LA Kings and Phoenix Coyotes didn’t disappoint.
Each team won half the games – with three shutouts and the other three all decided by one goal.
Yet, the most spirited [...]
