If you’ve been logging on to LAKings.com or arriving at games early, you’ve been treated to a new feature produced by Kings Vision, Stanley Cup Moments.
A collection of videos depicting pivotal moments leading up to the Kings’ Stanley Cup triumph have been deftly edited and contain interviews with the actors and architects of the particular feats and the dissection and analysis of each event.
Prior to Thursday’s game against Dallas, fans arriving early at Staples Center caught Episode 2 – Penner’s OT Winner, which is an in-depth account of the lead up-to and execution of Dustin Penner’s overtime goal at Jobing.com Arena that clinched the Western Conference Championship for Los Angeles.
That segment is available below. For more Stanley Cup Moments, visit Kings Vision’s YouTube page.

@phil sykes, Ducks already over next years estimated cap with Perry, Selanne, Koivu, Lydman, Lovejoy, Palmieri, Beleskey, & McMillan not counting towards it. If they do sign Perry he likely would like to match his performance over RG at $8.25 mil/yr so 9 mil/yr is modest by that comparison. Where do they cut 9+ mil/yr, and that is already assuming that the 7 other UFA & RFA players above won’t be back.

Awesome, Thanks Jon. I hope that slows some of the silly reactionary posts from last nights loss. The Kings are fine. Watch some film, play with better focus. Thats it, really simple. We have 2 at home vs Calgary lets win them both and then win 8 or more standing points in the 6 straight divisional games.

@luc20rules, Sutter made a comment after practice today that indicated that he didn’t think they were doing that poorly, at least not the “kids” as he put it.
- On if the kids are ready to listen: “Jeez, we just won friggin’ eight out of 11. They must not have totally waxed up, have they? I think the earth is flat. And they look out over, the earth is flat, right?”
Not sure what that means exactly but I think he’s saying that it’s not as bad as it seems.

The offensive dman Tyson Barrie, although not playing tonight, has shown a ton of confidence and a lot of promise.
Ooh and Avs have the most dangerous lead in the game…

Thanks for posting this Jon. I LOVE these. There are 2 more (5 minute major on Scuds and Kings turn things around under Sutter) for those who are interested.
It’s amazing to hear the things that were going on in the players’ minds when this was happening and the reactions from the media people.

“Neat” “Awesome” ..sometimes I wonder if DS is from the “Valley” ….you know…

scuderi ….. doughty
voynov ……….. player x
martinez ………. muzzin
scuds and doughty play well together … always have …. they read each other very well
get voynov a top 4 big tuff guy , stay at home guy
salo or riguer would be perfect
they both know the western conference and western conference forwards
salo a little old , yes , but if we want to repeat …. we need this …. even more than offense
so if u have to give up bernier , or forward in minors or both ……. u do it , because we need it ……………. it might be overpaying for older salo , but its the price u pay trying to repeat ………….. riguer would be a dream because sutter knows him and riguer knows sutter
at this point ……….. the earliest mitchell or greene might possibly come back is 2 weeks before the playoffs …….. so they will not have played a serious hockey game in almost a year ………. they will be left behind immediately ….. u cant just throw them into a playoff chase or playooffs themselves with them being out so long ………….. so for this reason …… i am not interested in their services this season ………… shelve them till next year where they can have a full offseason and training camp and full regular season to get back to where they were and make another run next year
but as for this year … we need a top 4 stay at home tuff guy if we are going to repeat ….. just my opinion
just too many breakdowns on defense ……… get the championship formula back together
doughty ……. scuds
voynov …….. mitchell replacement thru trade
martinez …… greene replacement (muzzin)

phil sykes Reply:
March 8th, 2013 at 7:51 pm
@shiny, not going to repeat with muzzin playing agasnt the sedin twins or the hawks forwards ………….. hes not that great on defense …. put him back with martinez where we can still exploit his offense thruout the game and powerplays …. put doughty and scuds back together …….. and get voynov a mitchell clone replacement ……. its a winning dominant formula .. get back to it as fast as possible ……….. our defense is not very good with the 2 injuries and with everybody playing with different partners they arent accustomed to ……………… just get back to the winning formula …… doughty and scuds like playing otgether and read each other very well ………… voynov can then work things out with his new mitchell clone …….. and martinez and muzzin will be fine as a 5 , 6 pairing ….. its a winning formula ……. kings need to get back to it if dean can swing the trade i suggested

once again peeps , chicago losing is a bad thing …………. even daryll sutter needs to tell u guys who to root for ….. ducks and hawks
kings are not a regular season team … they will always struggle just to get in … because the kings like to save all their energy for the playoffs ….. this is why the kings win a couple because they have to – but then they let down because now they know – okay we won a couple – we can just play pond hockey tonight – no biggie …. and then they lose a game or two .. then they are forced to buckle down and play the next several like playoff games to get there cusion back .. this is how the kings approach the regular season …..
not saying they are trying to lose ………… but its a subcounscous thing with this team ……… in reality , they know the regualr season is meaningless … so they dont like to get too vested in it …… they want to save all their goals and all the hard work for the games that really count – the playoffs

I know after tonight Chi-town will bounce right back and get back to their win streak. I just like to see the big dogs (I’ll admit not the Kings) taken down a few pegs every once in a while just to see that they’re not inhuman. Yes, I’m cruel and a terrible person but I own it.

Won the conference once 92-93
Have been to the SCF twice.92-93 11-12
Won one Stanley cup. 11-12
Dont get me wrong, this is NOT a thrashing.

@phil sykes, agree 100% that we are built for the playoff, but I think it is because we wear teams our during a series. Size and skating can beat skill and skating in a 7 game series. The reason we dominated last playoff is because we averaged one game above minumun per series, so we had a good amount of rest going into a series.

like u only see it during the regular season for a few games …. then it goes away because they relax and have a lil cushion … so they lay stinkers – then they win again when they have to ……. its been this way the last 3 years or so ….. they just have a subcouncios thing – hey , lets not waste all these wins … lets save um for when they count .. with otrher teams that wouldnt work ….. but this kings team has alot of vets at forward especially who know how to pace themselves for the big games …. players like richards and brown etc…

@Duncanzzzz, No, but he’s friends with the other London boy… He is Canadian, but that doesn’t help as half the team is Canadian (ok probably like 3/4 of the team). He is in a leadership role… Played for LA West on a line that had a special nickname til Gagne was scratched then traded…

@shiny, Let me rephrase that last sentence. He played for LA EAST and when in LA, played on a line that was the nickname of the LA East team. He was captain of the LA East team before he was punished and sent to us

@King Alex, Bingo! I was surprised to find out that he actually is third on the team in points with six goals and 11 assists for a total of 17 points.
My trivia got a little dragged out lol but I was like hey, this is something interesting and very surprising.
Congrats to the Avs for putting that first 1 in the Hawks’ regulation loss column. Now get back on your feet, Chicago. Dust yourselves off and win some more. Then lose to us and win some more.

Goodbye Patrick Kane
though I never liked you much at all
you had the grip to hold yourself
while those around you bawled
Avs crawled out of the woodwork
And they whipped it in your cage
they set you on the treadmill
and they made you lose a game
And it seems to me you lost the game
like a pretender to the crown
never knowing who to cling to
when the team went down
and I wouldn’t like to know you
cos you’re just a kid
the win streak burned out just before
your Stanley Cup bid did ….

i dont like anson carter saying those should be 2 wins for the kings ……. it dosent work like that with the parity .. we could easily lose both ….. especially the way the kings lay stinkers in the regular season all the time …. just dont like anson saying that .. its a very bad omen ….. also when teams play 2 back to back games …. one team rarely wins both …. so this is a very difficult part of the schedule with 2 straight games against phoenix as well coming up …. maybe even the sharks 2 ……….. when u play a team 2 straight …. its hard to win both and gain ground …… and w ill be playing alot of these doubleheaders ….. so its gonna be nailbiting in all likelihood down the strecth kings fans …. kings your seatbelt fastened ….. there will be no easy games or opponents …………………………….. even columbus is playing better

After the game 5 win in Phoenix last year I remember leaving NHL Tonight on all night long and waking up a several times to the bliss of the Kings bench racing across the ice to celebrate Penner’s goal. What made it really great was that regardless of any biases, everybody knew that was the coolest moment in the playoffs, up to that point, and it was to be continued in the Stanley Cup Finals.

@LVKINGS88, At this point, I’m wondering which goalie we’ll be playing tomorrow… Quickie or Bernie.
Quickie didn’t have a good game (but not his fault) and Bernie had a slow start against St. Blewit (stole that from someone) but Bernie was in net last time we faced Calgary…
Decisions decisions…
The way the Ducks are playing, it’s worth noting that the Kings are one the few teams to put a dent in their record.

Looking now at the latest Stanley Cup moment… It’s intriguing to see the effect that Sutter had on this team by simply making them more aggressive. He said go out and get the puck, don’t wait for it to come to you.

@LA_1968,
I watched Penner Thursday night make a move with the Puck along the boards that was so quick. It was the first time I’d seen the potential first hand. But having seen it I realize now that he was caught in no man’s land after he left the Oilers. Sutter could see where he was most valuable and thankfully Penner has finally grasped it.

Gagne 3.1

@DesertKing, I asked Mayor John Hoven about the cap space and he thinks that DL is going to try and lock down Brownie and Scuds before he makes a move with the RFAs. Or at least, most important is #7 then he’ll decide what to do with the RFAs as he can’t make an “official” move on Brownie til July

As far as Quickies’s concerned, which of those repairs easiest?

@goldielocks,
I think it’s his lower body weakness because he didn’t have enough time to recover or train. But once he gets comfortable on his edges, he’ll be all right. It’s just that weird feeling that you know you can do it but your body is not reponding in the way it used to.
