TRH 2ND ROUND PLAYOFF RECAP 4 - SAN JOSE SHARKS: FOUR GET
*THE FOLLOWING BELOW IS NOT WRITTEN BY THE ROYAL HALF,
BUT RATHER PUMPERNICHOLL, OUR MASTER RECAPPER*
KINGS 2, SHARKS 2
The maddening conclusion of Games 2 and 3 left both fan bases bitter. Borderline calls by the referees had swung the momentum for opposing teams in each game and ultimately decided the outcome. Fans don't go to hockey games to watch the referees...
Kings Road Woes Continue by Jack Weber
Heading off to start a two-game road trip against the Minnesota Wild, Darryl Sutter made no changes to the Kings lineup, apart from in goal, where Jonathan Bernier got the start, finally getting back in after watching Jonathan Quick start the last six. Quick has finally looked to be getting his act together, so it [...]
Two goals, 16 seconds apart is enough to give the Wild a huge 2-1 win over Los Angeles
I was watching TV in between hockey games this weekend and I came across the disaster film 2012. The film gives you the unbelieveable tale of the Mayan Prophecy coming true and the Earth hits its own 'reset' button as a combination of Earthquakes, volcanoes and tsunami devastate the planet. Luckily, the great (wealthy) nations of the world had planned for this disaster...
Ducks top Kings, near division title
Corey Perry scored late in the second period and added the winning goal in the shootout, leading the Anaheim Ducks closer to the Pacific Division title with a 3-2 victory over the Los Angeles Kings on Sunday night.
Matt Beleskey scored the tiebreaking goal on a power play for Anaheim with 15:06 to play, but Kings captain Dustin Brown tied it with 3:45 left in regulation in the third...

Leafs Must Use Caution When Talking Trade For Kiprusoff
from David Shoalts of the Globe and Mail,
It is believed Nonis already told Flames GM Jay Feaster he will not cough up a first-round draft pick for the 36-year-old Kiprusoff. And Nonis also said he is not interested in giving up a young roster player or highly-regarded prospect for someone like Kiprusoff, who is entering the last lap of his career. If Nonis could land a young...
Kings’ Bernier missing in inaction
This is just plain old weird, per LA Kings Insider's Joe Rosen:
Jonathan Bernier, who was not seen at the White House with the rest of the Los Angeles Kings at yesterday’s ceremony, is not on the ice with the team at today’s practice at the Scottrade Center in St. Louis.
Goaltending Coach Bill Ranford is practicing with the team and wearing an extra pair of equipment...
More Goalies Down at Crunch Time
It's proving to be a rough season for NHL goalies, and in the shortened season, having a goalie down is being felt a lot harder across the teams. The lucky teams, like St Louis, had a hot spare such as Jake Allen, who's continuing to carry them forward. Other teams are finding out, like Los Angeles, that their backup, Jonathan Bernier, is ready to take the mantle of the number...
Kari-ing the Kings to Defeat by Jack Weber
Darryl Sutter made a few changes to his lineup today, once again starting in goal, where Jonathan Quick was back in net. Jonathan Bernier has had a marvelous season and stopped 40 of 42 shots in what was his best effort yet on Tuesday against the Phoenix Coyotes, but Quick had a 27-save shutout the [...]

Matthew Barry: Marty McSorley: "Darryl Sutter Really Wants Iginla on the Kings"
On Hockey Central @ Noon. "Marty was speculating that the price would be Jonathan Bernier, which would fit if you sent Kiprusoff out" So let me get this straight.... The Kings are going to trade a franchise goaltender for a rental. The Kings are going to trade a goaltender playing better than Quick for a rental. The Kings would have ??? backing up Quick in the playoffs...

Bernier Helps Kings Hold Off Coyotes by Jack Weber
Once again, the only change Darryl Sutter made to his lineup was in goal, as Jonathan Bernier was back in. Bernier is having a strong season, as he has won six of his seven starts this year and given up just one goal in five of them. He sat yesterday but made 20 saves on [...]

Coyotes, Kings meet in first of back-to-back
While they have struggled in opposing arenas, the Los Angeles Kings continue to dominate at home.
That doesn't bode well for the Phoenix Coyotes.
Seeking a 10th win in 11 games at Staples Center, the Kings play the first of two consecutive home contests against the Coyotes, who try to avoid a fourth straight road shutout Monday night.
After falling 4-3 at San Jose on Thursday...
Matthew Barry: At What Price Iginla?
The Kings aren't trading Jonathan Bernier for Jarome Iginla. It doesn't make any sense. Period. Jonathan Quick's save percentage has been about as awful as "Bert Wonderstone" reviews and going into the playoffs, it may just be Bernier that supplants Quick unless he can get his sugar honey iced tea together and fast. So then, is it Tyler Toffoli? Why would...
Early Morning/Late Night Trade Talk
from Pierre LeBrun of ESPN,
- Keep an eye on the Los Angeles Kings if and when the Calgary Flames and Jarome Iginla decide to begin divorce proceedings.
While it’s been widely (and accurately) reported that Boston and Pittsburgh have interest in the Flames captain should he become available, I believe the Kings would be right there in the mix as well and could...
Todd Cordell: Devils Crush the Flyers 5-2 + Are the Devils in on Jonathan Bernier?
The New Jersey Devils opened up a home-and-home series against the Philadelphia Flyers Wednesday and cruised to a 5-2 victory - in large part due to the contributions from their top players.
Game Notes
- That was a big win, to say the least. It was a total team effort from New Jersey and everybody contributed in the win. Almost all of their stars who were struggling broke out...
Flames-Kings Preview
If there's been one glaring issue recently for the Los Angeles Kings, it's been the surprisingly unspectacular play of reigning Conn Smythe Trophy winner Jonathan Quick and backup Jonathan Bernier.
