The NHL Arena Bucket List: tour of the Southern California arenas

When I started planning my arena visits for the 2018-19 season, the Southern California swing immediately stood out to me. It was a bigger bonus that the games took place over the President’s Day holiday weekend. I convinced my friend, who had been to only two hockey games in her life, to let me come visit and drag her to back-to-back [chants slowly] games. Jenna is the real MVP and I made her a hockey fan by the end of the visit.

After the long flight and countless flight delays, I found myself in a sunny, but cool, Los Angeles. Let’s recap my visits to both Honda Center and Staples Center.

Bounce back complete: Caps beat Kings 3-2

The Washington Capitals were in Los Angeles at Staples Center tonight to match up with the Kings in what needed to be a bounce back performance for a Caps team that got steamrolled a night before in Anaheim. Were they able to come up with the much needed two points?

Alex Ovechkin got things started in the right direction, firing home from his office on the power play and Brett Connolly drifted through the slot with a tip-in to give the Caps a 2-0 lead after twenty minutes. Ovi did that thing again on the power play to extend the lead further.

Alex Iafallo got one back for the Kings. Ilya Kovalchuk added another.

Caps beat Kings 3-2!

Snoop Dogg’s hilarious LA Kings game commentary is a must-watch

The LA Kings brought some excitement into the Staples Center on Saturday. And no, we’re not talking about their opponents for the game, the Pittsburgh Penguins.

The Kings invited rapper and hockey fan Snoop Dogg. The D O Double G watched warm-ups, dropped the ceremonial puck, and gave a master class in commentary during a short visit to the broadcast booth.

Snoop may not know how to skate but he sure knows how to make skating sound fun.

The LA Kings fired their head coach just 13 games into the season

The Los Angeles Kings stumbled out of the gate this season. They have just 9 standings points in 13 games. With only four wins, their record stands at 4-8-1, worst in the Western Conference.

On Sunday, Kings’ vice president and general manager, Rob Blake, announced that head coach John Stevens and assistant coach Job Bachbaur have been relieved of their duties. The Kings fired their previous head coach Daryl Sutter and GM Dean Lombardi in April 2017. Stevens was hired to replace Sutter within the month.

Willie Desjardins will become head coach. Desjardins was associate head coach of the Dallas Stars from 2010-12 and head coach of the Vancouver Canucks from 2014-17. One-time Capital forward Marco Sturm will take over Bachbaur’s assistant coaching duties. Sturm is currently GM and head coach of the German national team.
