He had played in five games as a member of the Columbus Blue Jackets and now two since joining the Kings. * Los Angeles netminder Jonathan Bernier seems to have the Predators’ number. He’s played them seven times in his career, going 6-1-0. * Thanks to a Hal Gill slapshot in the second period, Patric Hornqvist took a puck square to his unprotected calf.

Creating A Winning Way In LA

Via Kukla's Korner  |  March 19, 2012
from Doug Ward at LAKings.com, It’s a familiar refrain, as predictable as the changing of a season.

It was no different when Dean Lombardi stepped in as the Kings’ President/General Manager in 2006. Lombardi inherited a Kings team that, after finishing 10th...
