Flash quotes from the Kings locker room after 2-0 loss to the visiting Dallas Stars…
Anze Kopitar on if it was just running into a hot goalie: “Yeah, it seemed like he was on his game but it’s not an excuse for sure. We have to throw some more bodies up front, even some more shots—we [...]
Word Association: Calgary Flames players talk five LA Kings
March 11, 2013 By
Last week we took a brief break from having LA players talk about the opposition using our popular Word Association format when we went over to the other locker room – asking the Dallas Stars for some thoughts on the Kings.
It was well received by the readers here, so we went that route again earlier today, asking the Calgary Flames [...]
Bow down to Jeff Carter, or so says Justin Williams
March 10, 2013 By
Kings coach Darryl Sutter is an old school kind of guy. He’s a throw back to when hard work was all you needed to be successful in life. The Alberta rancher doesn’t have an iphone, he’s never been on twitter and even though his hockey knowledge runs deep – both as a player and coach – [...]

We’re going a different direction this time around.
Frequent readers to MayorsManor are well aware of our Word Association features and have enjoyed them as part of our game day previews this season.

After 21 games, Anze Kopitar declares – ‘That ship has sailed!’
March 6, 2013 By
Not that long ago, Kings center Anze Kopitar talked about looking forward to a ‘healthy competition’ this season with Jeff Carter. At that point, they were tied for the team scoring lead – both having seven points, but Carter led in goals (six to four).
Since then, it’s been nearly dizzying watching Carter score at a breakneck pace. [...]
