Good, cheap 4th liner. I'm happy.

The assist machine is back!

This guy is a hard working 4th liner, he can skate very well and is a good physical presence. Im glad we kept him

This must explain why the Kings are raising season ticket prices by an average of 7.5%! Congratulations Jeff!

What a franchise.....Miss the playoffs three consecutive years, trade away your best players, spend well under the salary cap limit, and then RAISE ticket prices. That's certainly a commitment to your fans Phil & Tim! GO KINGS!!!

Wow! Our big UFA signing today is 35 yr. old Scott Thornton from Lombardi's former team up north. Can the Stanley Cup be far behind? GO KINGS GO!

I agee with the last two posts...Why sign Chara...where we can get Rob Blake...We are doing the same thing as we did with Luc. Let Blake go to another team to win a cup, and come back to the team he started with to end a career.
Makes me sick, bad off season after another...

AEG needs to go....Hey Mark Cuban, please come to LA

I cant wait for next season, where we battle for eigth in the west...
