Cloutier Hopes To Put An End To Catcalls

from Eric Duhatschek of the Globe and Mail,

“There’s nothing I can do,” said Cloutier, of the catcalls that have punctuated most of his stay with the Kings. “I can’t control what they do. I can’t start to worry about what people are yelling or thinking of my play or what I’m doing. At the end of it, it’s going to make me better when I work my way out of it. I’ve been in that situation before, my first couple of years in Vancouver, and then I had a couple of successful seasons and it went away, so …

“In order to get it away, you need to put up some numbers and get some wins.”

Duck Hunch

from Eric Duhatschek at the Globe on Hockey Blog,

Call it a hunch, but after being around the team for a few days now, I’ve done a complete about-face on this issue. A month ago, I thought both Niedermayer and Selanne were done. At the moment, I’d say it’s more likely that they’ll play at some later date this year rather than retire, in the hopes of winning back-to-back championships.

more... Eric is in SoCal and has a bit on the Kings too, could a rookie goalie fit into the mix for the Kings?...

Can Ducks Inspire Kings?

From Helene Elliott at the LA Times,

The Ducks spent their brief summer vacation showing off the Stanley Cup to their friends and relatives.

The Kings, after missing the playoffs for the fourth straight season, spent five months formulating their 39th annual rebuilding plan.

No matter what happens from here on, the Ducks will always be able to say they won the Cup before the Kings, who had a 26-season head start. Painful though it may be, Kings fans should consider the Ducks’ triumph a source of inspiration, not revulsion.

Game On! Ducks and Kings Open the Pre-season

Thursday night marked the first game of the 2007 pre-season.  the L.A. Kings defeating the Anaheim Ducks, 5-4. 

Both teams’ starting goalies (Dan Cloutier and Ilya Bryzgalov) were pulled in the second period, between them letting in 7 goals on 28 shots.  (So… NHL hockey is back, but—I dare say—great NHL hockey might take a while.)
