Matthew Barry: What I ACTUALLY Said About Lombardi
Stop giving me crap!
I went into the archives!
Here's what I ACTUALLY SAID!
DEAR LOMBARDI, IF YOU HRIE SUTTER, COUNT ME OUT - Dec 13, 2011
Darryl Sutter was Dean Lombardi's coach in San Jose. He had three first round losses and two second round losses. So that means he fits PERFECTLY in the never ending cycle of misery that is Kings hockey.
Darryl did make it...

Upset of Canucks a milestone for Lombardi
The process began in 2006, when the Kings hired Dean Lombardi as general manager and Lombardi began the process of overhauling the organization by building around a core of young players.
The job isn't done -- no team, short of the Stanley Cup champion, considers its season a full success -- but the Kings took a big step Sunday night when they beat the Vancouver Canucks 2-1...

Creating A Winning Way In LA
from Doug Ward at LAKings.com, It’s a familiar refrain, as predictable as the changing of a season. Whenever an owner, general manager, or coach takes over a team, the first goal is always the same: Change the culture.
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...

Kings Need Change
Lombardi said he was angry he had to fire coach Terry Murray. It was a direct message to the players that they were responsible for the poor play. It was a psychological coaching change and it should have sparked something in the players to up their efforts. For a few games it did. Darryl Sutter started out with points in 13 of 14 games. However, the scoring is in a massive...

Matthew Barry: Dean Lombardi Has Ruined My Life
I lobbied Tim Leiweke to hire Dean Lombardi.
What's the old saying? "Be careful what you wish for?"
Five years later, my life is still miserable. Actually, it's even more miserable than it was five years ago.
See, five years ago I wasn't spending all my time writing for HockeyBuzz. I had free time. To get things done. To build my career. Now? It'...

Matthew Barry: Dear Dean Lombardi - If You Hire Darryl Sutter, Count Me Out
I hate my friend Craig.
He got me into this mess, he bailed, and now I'm stuck. Kind of like what George did to Obama.
When #99 came to town in 1988 he immediately bought season tickets. He gave me first dibs and I bit like a walleye in Atikoken.
For years we had the greatest of times, the greatest of memories... wait, this isn't sounding too... you know...
Anyway...
