Game 3: Blues 0, Kings 1
Game 3 between the Blues and Kings can be summarized with just two words: wasted opportunities. Maybe two more words: missed wide. Even if you take a few moments trying to remember all of the chances the Blues had, you probably won't be able to remember all of them.
David Backes, Jordan Leopold, Andy McDonald, Alex Steen, Patrik Berglund and numerous others all had high...
Los Angeles Kings can shoulder Cup challenge
The Los Angeles Kings assembled a large, bulldozing team as last season progressed. Along the way they smashed the Blues and swept them out of the playoffs.“Los Angeles won the Stanley Cup based on their board play last year,” Blues coach Ken Hitchcock observed. “They won the board battles against every team.”The Kings still play a heavy game, in today’s parlance, but so...
Kings score big win over Blackhawks
CHICAGO There was the individual brilliance of Kings defenseman Drew Doughty and the signature grit and persistence of captain Dustin Brown.
That combination propelled the Kings to a course-correcting 5-4 victory against the league's top team, the Chicago Blackhawks, on Monday night at the United Center. Brown's game-winner came, via his own rebound, with 1 minute 27 seconds...

Quick closeouts just aren't Kings' style
Ironically, on their barnstorming run to the Stanley Cup final, the Kings have really encountered only one trouble spot: that pesky matter of actually trying to close out a series.
In all four rounds, the Kings took a 3-0 series lead and put themselves in a wonderful opportunity to close things out at home. Three of those four times, the Kings lost, including Wednesday night, when...

Kings taste slim margin between win or lose
The Los Angeles Kings' 15-3 postseason record can't be deceiving, can it?
For a team that has won all 10 of its road games and faltered at its chance to become the first team since the 1988 Edmonton Oilers to post a 16-2 playoff record en route to winning the Stanley Cup, the margin between winning and losing isn't as stark as their record indicates.
Remember the 2001...

Kings' Sutter not sold on joys of the road
Kings Coach Darryl Sutter spent part of his post-practice media session on Tuesday talking about schedules, traveling and playoff logistics, spelling out the disadvantage for his team.
"That's all part of not being a home-ice team," he said.
The Kings-Blues series will start in St. Louis eventually. Sutter simply wants to know. And, as he said, then they can get...

Youthful Kings resilient during winning streak
With one of the youngest rosters in the National Hockey League, it would have been somewhat understandable if the Los Angeles Kings had followed their 4-3 come-from-ahead loss in Detroit last week with wobbly play against a collection of some of the Western Conference's most talented and hottest teams.
Instead, the Kings have resiliently rebounded with consecutive wins against...
