On a more humble note, for the past few seasons, MayorsManor has recognized the player who leads the Kings [...]
The game in Anaheim is starting in less than hour.
Last Sunday at Staples Center, the Kings lost to the Ducks 3-1. LA’s lone goal came from Andrei Loktionov, who was sent to Manchester (AHL) earlier this afternoon. You can read the post-game notes and quotes from that contest here. Coach Terry Murray wasn’t [...]
Last night in Colorado, Kings forward Scott Parse recorded his first point of the pre-season.

File this one under the peaks and valleys of life.
Just ten days ago, Brandon Kozun was the talk of training camp in Los Angeles. Today, he’s headed back to Manchester, New Hampshire to play in the AHL.
