   I couldn't figure out how to edit the title of the other Kings thread so I'm starting a new one. In a surprising announcement, the Kings said today they have not renewed the contract of tv play by play announcer Alex Faust. They're going to have Nick Nickson do a simulcast for both tv and their streaming service (they no longer have a radio station to broadcast games, in case you didn't know) and have Darryl Evans and Jim Fox as analysts. Faust had the unenviable job of replacing a legendary Hall of Famer, and I thought he did a solid job. He had his critics, of course, but he never bothered me. That said, I'm glad to have Nickson back. Love his style and …

   Great way to end the season with a big victory against the Knights. Vatrano with a hattrick. Gauthier with his first point. Dostal a rock in net. Lot's to look forward to, including the draft. Now, let's get some good assistant coaches in there. And fill a few pieces in in the offseason. Next season, let's hope we start healthy with Leo, Cutter, Terry, McT, Z, Frankie as the top two lines.

   Good start to the season so far, back-to-back come-from-behind 2-1 wins on the road at Dallas and Phoenix, the latter in overtime. The first home game is Tuesday night against the Coyotes. The Red Wings, Bruins, Sabres, Blues, Black Hawks and Avalanche come in before the team goes on an east coast road swing. The first home game is going to be nuts. This city has waited for a very long time for our own team, and people are excited about it.

   Might as well start it up. It begins. Buffalo Sabres Acquire Ben Bishop Sounds like Buffalo is going to continue to rebuild, as this move sounds like something just to get to the floor. Weird trade though. Bishop and a seventh for future considerations. Maybe someone they draft upcoming? Buffalo does have a bunch of picks, and might set the bar for salary dumps this offseason.

    Year 2023 -- 30th Anniversary of Anaheim Ducks Hockey Team.

    The Franchise was started 30 years ago in Anaheim, California; by Walt Disney and Company. The team was called the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim, named after the Walt Disney Movie, "Mighty Ducks," about Peewee Hockey. A few years later, Disney also bought The Angels Baseball Team. A few years after Y2K, Disney decided to sell both of its sports franchises. In 2005, Disney sold the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim to Henry and Susan Samueli. The Ducks remained an Anaheim Team to this very day, but he did rename them "The Anaheim Ducks." Anaheim won the Stanley Cup in 2007, and though it was only in existence half as long as The Angels, The Ducks have made it to the Play-offs a lot more t…

    A member of the Colorado Avalanche staff has posted on Facebook about what the team gave out. They gave championship rings to everyone who works in the organization. This particular employee, when asked what she does, said "I make sure that all of the bills get paid." I found this totally amazing. What a classy gesture by the club.

    The Oilers problem isn't with the coaching... They are just the scapegoats for the bigger issue Maclellan is a hell of a coach. Got upper management who can't assemble a whole team and players (not name McDavid) who think the league is just a big party. Maclellan would have been a nice pick up but really the team just needs a teacher without an ego who can teach the kids during this rebuild and keep morale from cratering.

    Close out 2018-2019. We still have the two boat anchors in Perry (10 pts, 31 games, -16) and Kesler (8 pts, 60 games, -19). Hopefully Kesler can figure out what is wrong with him. Then there is Eaves with whatever disease he came down with. And in case you were wondering, that is $17.575 million out of a current cap of $79.5 million. 22% dead money. Also of note. Record of the Ducks with Carlyle. 21-26-9. 51 pts, or 75 point pace. Record with no coach. 14-9-1. 29 pts So it doesn't look all dim. That's actually a 100 point season pace. So with a little, ok a lot of luck on Tuesday, this team should hopefully be competitive next season. Regar…

    If anyone is going to the Ducks game on Sunday

    This was a trip borne from a mistake. I bought a ticket for the Knights-Ducks game on Sunday, assuming that it is a home game because they are playing at home the day before. By the time that I figured out that it is a road game, it was too late to cancel the transaction. I finally decided screw it, I'm making the trip to SoCal. If you're there, I will be the guy in the Marc-Andre Fleury jersey in 429 T 10. BTW - This will be my first live Knights game. I have yet to make it to one at home (the tickets cost about three times what this one did).
