NHL blog, LA Kings hockey news and interviews from The Mayor
From Drew Doughty to Justin Williams, and throughout the Kings lineup, there used to be a tremendous amount of hate for the Vancouver Canucks – and the player’s didn’t hide it. Now, with two Stanley Cups under their belt and without Max Lapierre and his horrible chirping efforts gone from B.C., we’re not so sure the […]
Just a few years ago, many of the Kings players were quick to point out it wasn’t nearby Anaheim Ducks that were their biggest rival, but rather the San Jose Sharks and Vancouver Canucks who were their biggest rival. There was serious hatred on both sides of the Kings-Canucks battles, especially after the teams met […]
Comments from Brad Richardson following the Kings’ morning skate in advance of Game 3 vs. the Chicago Blackhawks…

Following the Kings practice this afternoon at TSC, here’s what coach Darryl Sutter had to share…
– On what new defenseman Robyn Regehr brings to the Kings: “Experience, good guy in back, fills our left side. Work him in.”

Brad Richardson likes Tortorella, laughs off Doughty
