Video: Tom Hanks, wife on LA Kings kiss cam

March 05, 2012
One of the highlights of every game in Los Angeles seems to be the kiss-cam. I blame this on the fans, of course… but I digress. At a recent Kings game Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson were unable to escape the grasp of the kiss-cam. It happens just after the 50 second mark of the below video. Will Ferrell still owns the LA kiss-cam with THIS GEM.

Newcomers make presence felt in win
It didn't take long for Nashville's new additions to chip in. During Nashville's 3-1 victory over the Florida Panthers, left wing Andrei Kostitsyn scored a goal, while center Paul Gaustad and defenseman Hal Gill both had assists. Kostitsyn also notched an assist.
There were some questions on how both Gaustad and Kostitsyn would fit in after the trade deadline. Kostitsyn...
Rookie King rising star for Los Angeles' offense
When Michal Rozsival was whistled for cross-checking to set up a Los Angeles power play with 90 seconds remaining and Phoenix leading 1-0 on February 16, coach Darryl Sutter opted to send out hulking 6'3, 234 pound rookie Dwight King, who had recorded two points in his eight previous NHL games.
The power play was unsuccessful as the Coyotes edged the Kings in the first of two...

With 6:41 remaining in the third period of last night’s 5-4 loss to the Los Angeles Kings, Predators forward Jordin Tootoo received a 10-minute misconduct for shoving an official. Tootoo was tussling with Kings defenseman Matt Greene after the whistle when the linesman skated in between. After the linesman made contact with Tootoo, the Predators agitator responded with a shove...

“Desperate” Kings take advantage of lackluster Predators…

With a victory tonight, Pekka Rinne would break Tomas Vokoun‘s franchise record for wins in a single season.
Not only did he not topple the record but he didn’t even finish the game.
The Los Angeles Kings brought their A-game into Bridgestone Arena and barely beat a Nashville Predators squad, 5-4, that only brought their C-game.
Rinne made just 19 saves on 24 shots in the loss...

This is much cuter than the time Madonna was featured on the Kiss Cam and she made out with her over-inflated sense of self worth.
The Los Angeles Kings are just one of many pro teams that employ the Kiss Cam during breaks in the action, probably because it’s cheap, fun, and the fans seem to get a kick out of it. So it only makes sense that when a Hollywood power couple like...

Lowest Scoring Team

March 05, 2012
For most of the season the Los Angeles Kings have been the lowest scoring team in the league. Likely that is what motivated them to trade for Jeff Carter. Recently they have lost their position as the lowest scoring team in the league. The Minnesota Wild has even fewer goals per game. LA has 2.12 goals per game (that is a reduction in their scoring rate since I first wrote...

from Jim Matheson of the Edmonton Journal, • A first-round draft pick was a hefty price the Nashville Predators paid for Paul Gaustad. They better hope he checks well in the playoffs (he’s a good penalty-killer and also strong on faceoffs), because he never scored a single goal in 38 career post-season games for the Buffalo Sabres. The Preds feel he can be a No. 3 centre, but...
