All too often I lament “It’s the Kings” and “There’s always next year”, but I do think it is inconceivable that the Kings will finish in the cellar again. A new coach, young talent, and even younger prospects bring much hope for the franchise. And hope is really all Kings fans have this season. It is doubtful the Kings will be able make a run at the playoffs but they will show what they have in store for the future. As the preseason dwindles down to a close the Kings roster is gradually taking shape. Each day a prospect is sent back to Juniors or the AHL another veteran player sighs in relief of not being placed on waivers (unless your name is Matt Ellis).
RumorMeThis is currently trying to gather Guest Bloggers for each of the 30 NHL teams, and have them report on their respective teams at certain points during the regular season, playoffs, and the off-season.
What we’re looking for
This is a tentative list of posts and schedule we’re aiming for:
Season Preview (Oct 1)
All-Star Break (Midway season review [...]
Next year could prove to be what many hockey circles across the globe are calling the NHL’s most abundantly-laden, super-star draft ever.
Toronto Maple Leafs Season Preview
Jason Wiemer played 14 seasons in the NHL and was well known for being a gritty center who worked hard and wasn’t shy about sticking up for teammates when the occasion called for it. He sat down recently with RumorMeThis.com’s Frank Mazzola to discuss the current state of the NHL and to share some perspective about his career.
Both Brad Stuart and Andreas Lilja, who were core defenceman in Detroit’s Championship, re-signed with the Red Wings Tuesday. Meanwhile, goalie Ty Conklin was also brought on board.
Why were the Flyers willing to deal Jeff Carter? Will Blue Jackets re-sign Michael Peca? Will Ryan Miller play for the Red Wings in 2009-10? Should the Maple Leafs buy out Darcy Tucker? Which teams may want to sign Jaroslav Halak to offer sheets? Are Glen Murray’s days with the Bruins numbered? Is Paul Ranger an untouchable in Tampa Bay?
Do Jaromir Jagr and Brendan Shanahan need strong playoff performances to remain with the Rangers? Is this the last season for Martin Havlat and Nikolai Khabibulin with the Blackhawks? Does Rob Blake want to play in the NHL past this season? Should Senators buy out Ray Emery? Are the Oilers planning on dealing Joni Pitkanen? Will Geoff Sanderson call it quits? Would islanders trade Rick DiPietro? Which teams may go after Jose Theodore if he becomes a UFA? What deals fell through at the deadline?
Which RFAs will get re-signed before they hit the market? Can the Hurricanes buy out David Tanabe? Will the Blues seek to improve their offense this summer?
Last week-end, Los Angeles Kings President and GM Dean Lombardi told a group of the club’s season-ticket holders about losing out on acquiring a number of high-profile players, reports Lisa Dillman of the Los Angeles Times.
The Montreal Canadiens won in L.A. over the L.A. Kings 5-2 today in what was pretty much a boring game for the most part.
Los Angeles Kings pending unrestricted free agent defenseman Rob Blake tells Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun he was willing to waive the no-trade clause in his contract if the club asked him to do so.
I’m not sure where this trend started, but I assume it must have been one of the southern teams looking for a gimmick to attract fans to their games. Now, more and more NHL teams are employing the hockey version of cheerleaders.
The Los Angeles Kings have traded goaltender J.S. Aubin to the Anaheim Ducks, according to TSN.
