NHL blog, LA Kings hockey news and interviews from The Mayor
Following the Kings 4-2 win over Anaheim last night, I joined Charles E. Smith, Jr on Inside Sports to talk about the game and LA’s upcoming road trip to Nashville, Columbus and Detroit. After my opening segment, Smith also chatted with Dave Joseph of ESPN LA. Take a look…

Imagine if your dream was to play in the NHL. So, at the age of 15 you move away from home – and across the border to Canada – so you can further your skills. A few years later, you’re drafted in the first round by a team 2,700 miles away and on the other [...]
Blackhawks fans will likely dismiss their 4-0 loss in LA as not that big of a deal, especially considering they were without captain Jonathan Toews. On the other side of the ice, Kings captain Dustin Brown figured prominently in the outcome – scoring the game’s first three goals and assisting on his team’s other marker.

For the second straight game the Kings lost 1-0. With Jonathan Quick in net, it’s almost like rinse and repeat. He’s playing stellar in net and the team in front of him just can’t seem to find a way to bang a few pucks in down at the other end of the ice.
After dropping a [...]
In a 1-0 game, it wasn’t that surprising when the goaltenders were selected as the top two stars, with Calgary’s Mikka Kiprusoff receiving number one and LA’s Jonathan Quick getting second. The third star went to Mike Cammalleri, who scored the lone goal of the game. It was his fifth goal in 14 games since [...]
If there’s one thing we’ve come to expect from the Darryl Sutter era in Los Angeles, it’s entertaining – and occasionally confusing – press conferences. As usual, he didn’t disappoint last night, even if there weren’t any more Merle Haggard references.
For you super busy people, here’s the game in a nutshell using only his popular [...]
Prior to the game, Coyotes forward Ray Whitney referred to match-ups with the Kings as ‘muck fests’ and usually filled with tight, defensive-oriented hockey. Kings defenseman Jack Johnson went so far as to say the games can be boring to watch, with Phoenix lulling teams to sleep.
Neither was the case in the first period, which [...]
The Kings entered today’s third period with a 2-1 advantage. Then, Dallas tied it, but rookie Jordan Nolan helped LA regain the lead with his first NHL goal. In the final minute of play, Justin Williams put the puck in the Stars’ empty net, icing a 4-2 win. After the game, here’s [...]
Kings’ rookie Jordan Nolan had a strong game yesterday vs. the Islanders and was out to impress again today, including picking up his first NHL goal – which stood as the game winner. Back in the locker room, here’s what he had to say after the game…

With both teams fighting for their playoff lives, Anaheim may have just seen their faint hopes of post-season play fall by the wayside. An early goal by Kings captain Dustin Brown, a pair from newly acquired Jeff Carter and Jonathan Quick in net was more than enough to shut down the [...]
