Got REALLY lazy.... But ill post tomorrow after school

Kings win over Hawks 5-2

Not a very exciting game, but we won. That’s all that really matters anyway. Let me start off by saying this… CALDER ACTUALLY DID SOMETHING!!! It might be a sign of the apocalypse. He actually scored… and so did Army!!! This is an amazing, historical moment in Kings History. Ivanans finally fought… took him long enough. Ersberg look solid, allowing only 2 goals again. He also had an amazing save were Doughty lost the puck and Kane had a break away, and Ersberg made an AMAZING glove save. I must say, the highlight of the night was when Bailey threw a couple of pieces of popcorn at a Blackhawks fan and she threw some of her popcorn back. So, Bailey takes the whole tub and dumps it on her head… HILARIOUS.

Mom saves the day

I love my mom. My parents are divorced so I have to switch from house to house every week. At my dad’s house, we don’t have cable so every game that is on when I am there, I would have missed. Instead, my mom bought me the NHL gamecenter, which enables me to watch any game that is being played. So, know I can update my blog no matter what. So, here’s to you mom, for being awesome (Like Kopi).

Kings win 5-2 over Ovechkin

So, basically we had a great game… Again, Calder is useless on ANY line. And why do we have him in front of the goalie on PP. Why don’t you put someone big in front of the goalie, like Boyle or Ivanans? But, it’s ok because we won. We kept them to only 3 shots in the first period and we shut down Ovechkin. The only mistake we made is the 5-3 PK. Ersberg was solid again, only allowing at the most, 3 goals. Defense was solid, no major mistakes. Doughty played great against Ovechkin. He did get spun around once, but recovered perfectly. Great game, one of the best I’ve seen all year. Great pass by Quincy for Brown’s goal and Kopi scored!!! Great play overall; let’s hope our new jerseys will give us good luck against the Av’s tomorrow. GKG

"Sucks" down Kings 2-0

Frustrating game. Let me start off by saying Calder is useless. This was the second game in a row he had a wide open net and messes it up. Why is he on the Kopi line anyway? You couldn’t find anyone better Murray? How bout, we send down Calder and bring up Teddy Purcell. Overall I thought we played pretty well though. Ersberg was solid once again except for that one mistake that led to the second goal. Except for a few turnovers the defense did pretty well. Offense just couldn’t put the puck in. They had a lot of PP opportunities to put the puck in and couldn’t. Not even on the 4 minute PP. Even my favorite player, Kopi, couldn’t put an open shot in. It was just an unlucky game for us. I must say though, Jonas Hiller played a great game. Basically, he saved the game for the “sucks”. If Giguere would have been in net, we probably would have won. But we just gotta shake it off and get ready for the Caps. Hopefully Ersberg will start again, but he might need a rest. Frustrating night for us kings fan, but will be even more frustrating for me tomorrow at school. I hate being a Kings fan in OC. But, that’s what I get for being in a BANDWAGON atmosphere. Oh well, GKG.

Melrose Fired!?!

Today, the Tampa Bay Lightning fired head coach Barry Melrose. My question is, why? They are only 16 games into the season and they already fired him? Although Tampa is 5th from the bottom, it takes more than 16 games to create chemistry and figure out who works well with whom. We know that Barry knows a lot about hockey and is a good coach. Heck, he’s the only person to ever take us to the cup. They have a pretty good team with Martin St. Louis, Vincent Lecavalier, Olaf Kolzig, and STEVEN STAMKOS. They just haven’t learned how to play well together yet. Also, they were last place in the league last year. One players not going to make a huge difference, they need to go out and make a trade. They need a solid D-man and maybe a goalie. Granted, we were 2nd to last place last year, but we had a good team. Just not that great of a coach. We weren’t consistent and our goalie, LaBarbara, couldn’t steal a game for us. So why are they blaming Barry for this and firing him? So, let’s see if Tampa knows what they are doing. Can, they make it to the playoffs? Or even out of the bottom 5? What do you think?

The first blog

Hello fellow Los Angeles Kings fans!!! And welcome to the new blog, The Kings Teen. First off let’s start off with some background info. My name is Dylan Dinsmore and I am 14 years old. I live in Orange County unfortunately, so I am surrounded by ducks fans :(. But im still loyal to my Kings!!! Let me start off by saying I was not always a Kings Fan. In my younger and "bad" decision making years, I was a SJ shark fan... Yes I know that is a weird change, but I love my kings to death. I am currently a freshman at El Toro High School. Everyone in my house is a Kings fan and I love it. So, let me give you the scoop on why I wanted to start my own blog... First off, I always see other blogs, whether it is Rink Rats, or any other hockey blog, I thought I could also distribute to the Kings fans by making my own blog. Yes, I know that most people would say, "Why would I read a kids blog?". Well, im not an average kid when it comes to hockey and my Kings. I know hockey like the back of my hand(yes I know, Cliché but you get my point). So, if you want to here my standpoint on the team, and give your opinion then read my blog. I will update almost everyday (unless I have too much homework :)) so, for now I bid a farewell to you because I need to go to sleep for school tomorrow...
