On Saturday, the San Jose Sharks launched 47 shots on net...five of which reached the twine. If not for the strong performance by goaltender Joey MacDonald, the New York Islanders would have seen five more reach the back of the net. Fortunately,...

The Kings have gone East in search of some more wins. Detroit will be the venue this evening, tipping at 5 p.m. Pacific.
What I'll be concentrating on:
1. Kevin Martin, natch. He came in a-blazin' Tuesday and cooled off as the minutes wore on. I...

Gun For Hire
(Where section214 finds the lure of creating his own far-fetched trade impossible to resist…)
I want to make sure that this post has at least one credible item in it, so I will start with this: The Simpson’s ride at...

Kenny Natt tried it one way, by basically calling out the starting point guard. Now, according to Sam Amick, the coach might take a different tact.

* With the team at 7-24 heading into the game, I'm not of the mind to give away a win. But the last three minutes ... the Kings did not grab that game by the haunches. Numerous breaks for the Kings throughout the...

On the last day of the year, the San Jose Sharks put together a solid effort against the very hard-working Minnesota Wild. In fact, Team Teal launched 34 shots on net...one of the higher totals in recent weeks. Unfortunately, Team Teal fell short...

From Melody Gutierrez:
"I'm going to give it a go," said Martin, who has been out with a left ankle injury that included bone bruises. "It's just getting better every day and that's all I can ask for. I feel ready to go."

While the Kings have again descended to laughingstock status, it's important that we are
a) here, and
b) mad.
Apathy is the mindset for the hopeless and the forgetting, and we have hope and we won't forget what it means to be a fan. Fans don't...

Amick quotes Mikki Moore:
"I wouldn't say we've quit, but it's like the wind is kicked out of us if we're down points going into halftime," Moore said after Monday's practice. "And it's frustrating, because we come in and we've got our heads...

Kevin Martin (left ankle) practiced again and looked good. And while I don't see him playing tomorrow at home against the Clippers, a return some time in the upcoming road trip (Jan. 2 to Jan. 6 at Detroit, Indiana, New Jersey and Chicago) is...
