VIDEO: Full Coffee with Bob discussion with Dean Lombardi (and Trevor Lewis)

I hope you have the better part of a half-hour to kill, Insiders. If you’ve missed any of the Coffee with Bob segments on Kings Weekly this season, you’ll enjoy clicking on this playlist. There are three CWB segments featuring Dean Lombard in which the Kings’ Hall of Fame play-by-play broadcaster and general manager discuss what Lombardi looks for in a player, how he got his start in hockey and living out of a rink early in his career, his disposition and behind-closed doors intensity on game nights and moving past wins and losses. Finally they discuss the process of constructing a team and how trade discussions have evolved since Los Angeles was in its rebuilding phase some eight-to-10 years ago. In the nearly 15 minute discussion of Kings upper management, Lombardi cites both Bill Torrey and Bill Walsh.

After the conversation with Lombardi, Bob Miller also sits down with Trevor Lewis to talk about his career, as well as what home life was like with Drew Doughty as a roommate.
