Medal time
The bronze medals in men's hockey will be awarded tonight when Slovakia plays Finland. If Slovakia (with Michal Handzus) wins, it will mean that all five Kings in the tournament will win a medal. That won't be the most for a single NHL team though. Chicago has six players still going: Tomas Kopecky ... Read More
Canada vs. Slovakia
One more semifinal to go. Who will win, Canada's Drew Doughty or Slovakia's Michal Handzus? Either way, it's setting up nicely for the Kings' players. If the Canada-Slovakia loser beats Finland in tomorrow's bronze-medal game, all five Kings will win a medal. Feel free to discuss the developments of... Read More

Williams’ return `quite likely’
Justin Williams' recovery from his broken ankle is going to be hard to judge on a day-to-day basis, but it's safe to say that everyone in the Kings organization is enthused about the progress that Williams has made in the past two months, and today, Terry Murray expressed great optimism that William...

Terry Murray has been consistent in his belief that the Kings need an ``enforcer''... Read More
