King Me

The Los Angeles Kings

I love the Kings. I have a Kings jersey, and an all star jersey from when the game was played at the Staples Center in 2002. I used to use the Kings in NHL 2001-2004 (we had a no Brodeur/Roy rule). Deadmarsh actually played for my LA Kings and he was good. Jason Allison could skate and Roman Chechmanek wasn't the fraud he turned out to be. The real Kings have been less... well... lucky.

The Kings traded personal favorite, he of too many vowels, Michael Cammallieri to the Calgary Flames (where he is destined for stardom) for their pick in this years draft. They used the picks they gathered to upgrade their defensive prospects. Other than that the Kings have been quiet this offseason.

There's not a whole lot more to report then that at this point in time. If the Khabibulin deal goes down the Kings will lose their best player for the second time this offseason in the form of Kopitar. For Kings-fans sakes I hope that that rumor was just that, a big rumor. Otherwise the Kings will rapidly find themselves being called the Islanders of the Western Conference.
