It seems like just a week or so ago that I gave you five things you may not know prior to a Kings-Stars game. Oh wait, that’s right, they play each other three times in less than three weeks this month. Even so, every game needs fresh content, so here is a fresh batch of […]
MayorsManor Lockout Radio with NHL legend Mike Modano
December 19, 2012 By
In 2009 Mike Modano made his first appearance on MayorsManor. It was an in-depth look back his career, from being drafted in the first round by Minnesota to winning a Stanley Cup in Dallas, from his international success with Team USA to being dropped on his head by some EMTs and he even reflected on breaking a […]
MayorsManor Lockout Radio with NHL goalie Marty Turco
December 18, 2012 By
After 543 games played in the National Hockey League, goaltender Marty Turco may have manned his last crease…or he might not have. Much like the NHL lockout, Turco’s future remains to be determined.
At the moment, he’s an unrestricted free agent and can sign with any team interested once play resumes. But, does he want to come […]

April 2, 2011 By
On November 23, 2005 the Kings were spending a day off in Nashville, caught between playing days on a brief two-game road trip.

March 9, 2011 By
Mike Modano is the greatest American-born hockey player of all-time.
At least that’s what the readers of MayorsManor said via their votes in a poll last week.

Which leads to the today’s question, is Modano […]
Kings Quickly Out of Game With Red Wings
March 1, 2011 By
By the time you read this most of the Kings players have already forgotten tonight’s game with the Detroit Red Wings.
At least that’s what they’ll tell you.
LA came into the game riding a mild four-game winning streak over Detroit, including a 5-0 shutout in Michigan two months ago.
Although Michal Handzus scored first, this game was […]
Revisiting The Hockey News Curse
December 1, 2010 By
After a red hot start to the 2009-10 season Anze Kopitar was the toast of the league. People everywhere were taking notice that the 2005 first round draft pick was having a breakout year.
Then, it happened. The Hockey News slapped him on the cover and poof, that was it. Instant slump.
Now, before you discount this theory, […]
Future Fridays – Interview with Matt Nieto
November 19, 2010 By
Matt Nieto grew up in Long Beach, CA as a huge LA Kings fan.
So, it was a little ironic for him when his teammate (Derek Forbort) was selected by the Kings in the first round of the draft this past June.
