One goal with under 10 seconds remaining in regulation by a player returning from an injury sharpened the focus of the lens through which the Los Angeles Kings’ season was viewed. Had the Kings’ final game been decided by a third period goal off a play in which Justin Williams either caught an edge or [...]

Good morning, Chicago
“Good morning, Rosemont” doesn’t really have the appropriate ring, does it? This photo is likely to become outdated by this evening as a series of strong storms moves through the Midwest. There was a scattered thunderstorm or two that rolled through the area last night before opening up to a humid, partly cloudy morning. According [...]
Good morning, San Jose
Is May the best month of the year to be in Los Angeles? It’s in the low-to-mid-70′s nearly every single day, and while the omen of summer is present, nights remain comfortable with outer layers. June Gloom hasn’t yet arrived and there’s rarely any oppressive heat – it’s really the most perfect month in a [...]
Good morning, San Jose
Warm skies have given way to milder temperatures in California’s third largest city as the Los Angeles Kings have returned to the “other” South Bay to continue their second round series against the San Jose Sharks. The Kings are scheduled to hit the ice at 11:30, followed by media availability and a post-skate press conference [...]
Good morning, San Jose
A quiet morning in the Silicon Valley will grow increasingly cacophonous in the lead-up to the irregular 6:00 pm start at HP Pavilion, where the Kings and Sharks will meet for Game 3 of their Western Conference Semifinals series. This is the first time since the inaugural season that Los Angeles will take a 2-0 [...]
Good morning, St. Louis
If it wasn’t for the parking structure across the street from the team hotel, there would actually be a fairly good view of downtown St. Louis. The piles of dirt at center-right represent an ambitious $650 million dollar construction project called St. Louis Ballpark Village, which will occupy the lot where Busch Memorial Stadium formerly [...]
Good morning, St. Paul
The Los Angeles Kings traveling party endured the heaviest snowfall totals of the year – on April 22. Surpassing the one or two inches that fell the day that the team arrived in Columbus on February 4, sleet was falling when the team touched down at the Minneapolis – St. Paul International Airport at 4:30 [...]
Good morning, Dallas
Munters unit connoisseurs, rejoice! Room 208 looks directly out at this beauty. The Kings are in Dallas for the final time as divisional rivals, and they’ll be facing a desperate Stars team four points out of the playoffs with a game in hand on eighth place Detroit. Known as a team that often brings a [...]
Good morning, Glendale
Until we’re able to reinstate yesterday’s posts, it’s business as usual at the traveling headquarters of LA Kings Insider. Looking southeast from the western Phoenix suburbs through the barren desert landscape, the University of Phoenix Stadium sits in the foreground of the wide Salt River Valley horizon. To the left, a corner of Jobing.com Arena [...]
Good morning, Dallas
From the Land of 10,000 Lakes to the Lone Star State, a two hour flight south has deposited us into the Pacific Division’s eastern outlier. That may seem to be an innocent, Spanish style-roofed house pictured at center, but it is most certainly a nightclub that was causing quite the hullabaloo down on the street [...]
