Practice Report 10/19 – Byfield addresses offense, looking for improvements + Zuccarello “trending”, today’s alignment
Quinton Byfield understood the expectations this season. With Anze Kopitar retiring, whether Byfield was ready or not, the task was placed on him to ascend into the number-one center role with the Kings. Byfield’s production until that point was that of a very good second-line center. The kind of second-line center a contending team has, […] The post Practice Report 10/19 – Byfield addresses offense, looking for improvements + Zuccarello “trending”, today’s alignment appeared first on LA Kin...
Matt Greene’s “competitiveness” still a thing of legend, as he departs the Kings organization with an impact left
“His competitiveness is something that still, Kopi and Dewey talk about to this day.” Matt Greene’s legacy with the Kings organization feels greater than what you might expect from a player who played fewer than 500 games with the organization. From a player who collected fewer than 100 points. To have that sort of impact, […] The post Matt Greene’s “competitiveness” still a thing of legend, as he departs the Kings organization with an impact left appeared first on LA Kings Insider .

Angeles Analysis – Game 6
Coming into last night’s game versus Boston, the Kings hadn’t played since Tuesday. They had a day off and two practice days in between games. Wednesday was the off day. Thursday, I’d classify as a hard practice, lots of skating. Friday was shorter, less full-ice skating, more situational work. TLDR, if you’ve already stopped reading […] The post Angeles Analysis – Game 6 appeared first on LA Kings Insider .

Doughty, Kempe believe improvements start at the top with top players & team leaders
For the Kings to break out of their season-opening rut, the change they need has to come from the top of the lineup. You can disagree with fourth-line decisions or 12/6 versus 11/7 looks. And that’s fine. But ultimately, the 18th man in the lineup on a given night isn’t the reason the Kings have […] The post Doughty, Kempe believe improvements start at the top with top players & team leaders appeared first on LA Kings Insider .

Angeles Analysis – Game 5
I’m a big fan of The Office. There’s a scene in the office with Kevin Malone, where he starts abbreviating everything he says. Simple reasoning. “Why waste time say lot word when few word do trick.” I was thinking about that after post-game media last night. There are a lot of words you could use […] The post Angeles Analysis – Game 5 appeared first on LA Kings Insider .

After a pair of “unacceptable” 5-on-3 power plays, the Kings went to work on that unit today
In back-to-back games, both 2-1 defeats, the Kings have had a 5-on-3 chance. And not just a partial 5-on-3, but over a minute of 5-on-3 time in both instances. In total this season, no team has spent more time playing 5-on-3 than the Kings, who have two minutes and 51 seconds in those situations with […] The post After a pair of “unacceptable” 5-on-3 power plays, the Kings went to work on that unit today appeared first on LA Kings Insider .
Angeles Analysis – Game 4
The LA Kings have been in three winnable games this season. They’ve won none of them. The frustration was different on Saturday in Vegas. It wasn’t a “we’re right there” attitude, one almost of acceptance, as we’ve too often seen it. It was a pissed off attitude, to be in a position to win three […] The post Angeles Analysis – Game 4 appeared first on LA Kings Insider .
