NHL blog, LA Kings hockey news and interviews from The Mayor
Winning a Stanley Cup championship is hard enough, but as Kings GM Dean Lombardi has stated numerous times since 2012, trying to do it again brings even more challenges. Six players who suited up for Game 5 vs. the New Jersey Devils are no longer with the organization and several more players on the current […]
Just below the marked hatred that once existed between the Kings and three of their other former Smythe Division rivals – Vancouver, Edmonton, and Calgary – there used to be somewhat of a rivalry with the Jets. At the very least, many memorable moments in Kings franchise history took place between the two clubs. With Rob […]
Last season, each contest in the Kings-Predators three-game season series was decided by one goal.

Naturally, we wish nothing but the best outcome for all involved – and that means their health and safety […]
Last summer, Dean Lombardi and his staff spent hours, days, and weeks-on-end agonizing over the salary cap.
