The Hockey News agrees with me: "Re-packaging the 1-2 goalie punch"
From Ryan Dixon: Alternating goalies was a popular practice in the aftermath of expansion in 1967, but has kind of gone the way of the wooden stick during recent decades. These days, teams tend to identify and ride a No. 1 man until a series of softies call his status into question. But the...
Quick vs. LaBarbera [UPDATE post-Thrashing]
[UPDATE: after last night's 7-0 fun fest, I thought I would revisit Q's numbers to see where he stands vis-a-vis LaBarbera. The post has been altered accordingly:] Halfway through Quick's next game, he will have played exactly the same number of minutes LaBarbera played for the Kings last season. Q...
Quick Transition
Early in the season, someone observed that Quick was letting in some weird (i.e. soft) goals in the wins, but standing on his head in the losses. Last couple of games, it's happening in the losses. Maybe he's tired. Maybe it would be a good idea to waive/trade Ersberg and bring up Bernier and let...
Roster I Wish Were Possible
Smyth/Kopitar/Williams Purcell/Moller/Brown Frolov/Handzus/Simmonds Clune/Stoll/Westgarth (Harrold, Lewis) Johnson/Scuderi Doughty/Greene Hickey/SOD (Drewiske) Bernier Quick Or, as I like to think of it: 25/35/25 20/20/30 35/20/15 5/15/5
Boston Globe: The Unfortunate Fourteen
What of those clubs that didn't make it to the Stanley Cup playoffs? Well, the Unfortunate Fourteen are always a mixed lot, and this year is certainly no different. Some want immediate change. Some ponder and puckhandle. A few, such as the Los Angeles Kings, managed expectations from the outset. LA...
BREAKING NEWS
Following last night's game, there have been several transactions that have taken place. Without too much commentary, here they are:Kings President/General Manager Dean Lombardi announced today that:1) Forward Gabe Gauthier and Goalie Jonathan Quick (under emergency conditions) were recalled from...
Year-In-Review – 4 – J.S. Aubin & Jonathan Quick
(Juan Ocampo/Getty Images)At least the mask was pretty cool.I'm not sure I have too much to say on Monsieur Amp Energy. He was signed for a 1-year deal for $500,000, which some might say would be a bargain. I’m no wizard at etymology, but the word "bargain" has the word "gain" in it; any idiot can...
Prospects Camp - Halfway Done
Since I took some more quick notes on Sunday at the prospects camp, I might as well post them up. I tried to look at some of the guys that I didn’t on Saturday. I’ll do another write up this coming Saturday to round out the camp and I’ll include some more pictures. Andrei Loktionov – He was one of...
Better Than Nothing: Kings 1, Stars 0 (SO)
So I was pretty much unimpressed with this outing against the Dallas Stars. It was a boring first two periods with the Kings getting only 3 shots on net in the first period! BORING. The offense was no where to be found for the longest time and Jonathan Quick once again stood on his head to keep the...
An Introspective Into Jonathan Quick
I stumbled across this LA Times Entry by Kurt Streeter called The Game Through A Goalie's Eyes where he interviewed Jonathan Quick about what goes through a goalie's mind during one of the most stressful times of a game. I think the experience of a goaltender is lost on the majority of the...
