Over the last 20 years the Kings and Ducks have met on the ice more than 100 times. Still, some say the rivalry won’t kick into high gear until they square off in the playoffs – just don’t tell that to the fans who pack the arenas in both LA and Anaheim because the hatred [...]

AUDIO: TFP Live guest spot – talking LA Kings year in review
December 30, 2012 By
On Saturday afternoon I joined David Pagnotta and Dennis Bernstein for another guest spot on The Fourth Period Live – a weekly show on NHL Network Radio (XM 92 / Sirius 207). Because not everybody has satellite radio, we thought it best to share the audio here.
In the segment we discussed the LA Kings season [...]
Mike Richards confused by Bettman’s request for two week recess
November 16, 2012 By
After last week’s charity hockey game at the Kings training facility, forward Jarret Stoll told us he was ’depressed’ following a phone call earlier that day with the NHLPA. Today, his Stanley Cup winning teammate, Mike Richards used words like ‘frustrating’ and ‘confusing when talking with NHL Network Radio host Gord Stellick about Commissioner Gary Bettman’s request to [...]
MayorsManor Live Radio with Patrick O’Neal of Fox Sports
November 14, 2012 By
For more than a decade now Patrick O’Neal has been a fixture with Fox Sports television and over the past several seasons he’s become as synonymous with the Dodgers and Kings as the game broadcasts themselves. From pre-game to post-game – and even in-game updates – O’Neal is constantly popping up on the screen with [...]
MayorsManor (lockout) Radio with LA Kings dman Drew Doughty
October 25, 2012 By
Today’s show goes in so many different directions, it’s hard to even know where to start.
The 2011-12 LA Kings were a tight-knit group of guys, no doubt. However, they were also an eclectic mix of personalities. You had the grizzled vet in Willie Mitchell, the new guy in Mike Richards, the ultra-reserved goalie in Jonathan [...]
MayorsManor Live Radio with LA Kings rookie Dwight King
October 22, 2012 By
After a six game call-up in November 2010, Dwight King returned to the AHL with zero points and a minus-2 rating to show for his efforts. Unlike when his Manchester Monarchs teammates Andrei Loktionov and Slava Voynov had been called up and sent down over the last two seasons, you’d be hard pressed to find [...]
MayorsManor Live Radio – CBA details with Kevin Westgarth
October 19, 2012 By
Yesterday was a dark day for those hoping the NHL and NHLPA would reach a mutual compromise, thus ending the current lockout. Instead of an agreement – or even an appearance of being closer to an agreement - both sides came away from their face-to-face meeting in Toronto breathing fire and prepared to sling arrows at their opponent.
As we [...]
MayorsManor Live Radio – Blue Jackets at Kings preview with Aaron Portzline
There’s no reason to try and over-hype a Blue Jackets v Kings tilt as a big rivalry game – after all, they don’t play in the same division, nor have they ever met in the playoffs. Yet, at the very least there’s some bitterness developing on both sides.
Columbus continues their fight for respect in the NHL. And despite Jack Johnson [...]
