Los Angeles Kings

No one owes you anything.

FIRST.... read today's GAMEDAY PREVIEW for tonight's Game 3 between the Los Angeles Kings and the San Jose Sharks. Exclusively on LAKings.com. This will make more sense once you've read the GAMEDAY PREVIEW. THEN... check out a few of these LA Kings-related blunders that happened over the past few days. First, from something called the Golden State Warriors... Well, at least the Warriors are still in the playof I'M SORRY I CAN'T EVEN. And then today, via Tipster Adam... it's NBC just being NBC. Never change, @nhlonnbcsports. Never, ever, ever, ever, ever change. twitpic.com/cripv2 — The Royal Half (@theroyalhalf) May 18, 2013 Go Kings.

LOS ANGELES – The Los Angeles Kings are giving away free ice cream to fans today in Venice. The Kings will be taking over a Coolhaus Ice Cream truck in Venice today, Saturday. They will be handing out Ice Cream sandwiches with custom edible wr...

One of my favorite things to do when I was a kid was to open the newspaper on my birthday and see which people shared my birthday, which is May 18th . And I was always greeted with names like director Frank Capra, singer Perry Como and Pope John Paul II. Admittedly, not the sexiest of names, but it is what it is. As it turns out, the newspaper routinely left out a bunch of names, mostly because they weren't "big enough" names in the world of news. They are, however, some decent names in the world of sports. In baseball, there was Babe Adams, Reggie Jackson and Brooks Robinson. Basketball players Sam Vincent, Donyell Marshall and Ron Mercer are all Tauruses. Race car driver Dario Franchitti, quarterback Vince Young and professional wrestler James William Reiher were also born on the 18th. (What, you do recognize Reiher's name? Perhaps you know him better as Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka.) But the craziest thing that I have learned with the advent of the Interwebz is the discovery that I also share a birthday with four former Kings. (Actually five, but I'll touch on that in a moment.) Jay Wells (1959), Jari Kurri (1960), Jim Fox (1960) and Marty McSorley (1963) were all born on the 18th. Wells and Fox played together in L.A. from 1981 through 1988, while Kurri and McSorley donned the black and silver from 1991 to 1996. The fifth player I eluded to was Oleg Tverdovsky, who had four assists in 26 games in the forgettable 2006 season. The only thing memorable about Tverdovsky's arrival in L.A. was he accompanied current Kings defenseman Jack Johnson in the trade with the Carolina Hurricanes. (A Jack Johnson also shares a May 18th birthday with all these Kings players, although it's singer Jack Johnson.) Since there's only 366 dates in a year, people are going to share birthdays. But I'm not entirely sure if there's a date that has more athletes that have played for a particular team. I'm sure there might be, but I'm not going to research it. In fact, the only thing I'm going to do right now is help myself to another serving of cake. Happy Birthday Jay Wells (51), Jari Kurri and Jimmy Fox (50) and Marty McSorley (47)!Click inside for a birthday video...

COMMENTARY: Over the last few weeks, the Los Angeles Kings have been involved in two incidents involving blows to the head of a player. Both times, the player who was hit suffered an injury, and in each case, a player was suspended. Perhaps even worse, both incidents have shined a bright light on the fact […]

EL SEGUNDO, CA — There was a relatively large media horde at the Toyota Sports Center in El Segundo, California today to take in the Los Angeles Kings’ optional skate, and to interview the players and head coach Darryl Sutter. KingsVision has several interviews available, including videos with Colin Fraser, Jordan Nolan, Brad Richardson and […]

*THE FOLLOWING BELOW IS NOT WRITTEN BY THE ROYAL HALF, BUT RATHER PUMPERNICHOLL, OUR MASTER RECAPPER* KINGS 4, SHARKS 3, MINDS BLOWN Unsettled. That's the best way to describe my state after the Los Angeles Kings shutout the San Jose Sharks in Game 1. Sure, I was over the moon because the Kings won, but I couldn't shake the feeling that I screwed up. "That's the game I should have gone to," I kept telling myself. You see, I haven't been to a Kings-Sharks game since 2011, when this happened: Second worst money I've ever spent. And then this happened: Worst money I've ever spent. So, yeah. I guess I'll just have to go on faith that the Kings won't blow a big lead and that the magic can continue. And maybe, just maybe, I can finally see the Kings beat the Sharks in person. Not to erase those haunting images from two years ago, but to have something even better to look back on from now on. Fat chance, I know.

Just don't be idiots. Or be idiots. Whatever. PREGAME: Fuck Stoll, fuck the LA Kings, and fuck the NHL for using a player's past to justify a suspension on a clean hit. Absolutely pathetic. — Allie (@allieisincali) May 16, 2013 @isaacvillalobos well you had him and still got shut out so... :) — LeftwingSD16 (@LeftwingSD16) May 16, 2013 OH SNAP!

Kings’ fans patiently waited 45 years for their happy ending. But the deafening roar that rumbled through STAPLES Center as the Kings brought the Stanley Cup home last spring was really just the beginning. Hockey’s most loyal fan base is stil...
