All-Star Weekend: Video of the Day


Nobody said they were actors. And they should have had Bobby Orr. Still, I get goosebumps.

Sortable Kings Individual Microstats, 2008-2012

Here is some sortable chart fun. I started with www.behindthenet.ca's numbers for 2008-present, whittled them down to Kings players who played more than 10 games, and then crammed in as many columns as I could fit. I'm saving goals-scored and assists, and quality of teammates (QUALTEAM) for a follow-up post. Some definitions:

  • TOI/60 -- 5on5 time on ice, per 60 minutes of team 5on5 time.
  • CSI -- CORSI; Corsi is a plus/minus of "shot events." A shot event is any shot taken, whether it becomes a shot on goal, a blocked shot, or a missed shot. A player's Corsi is the number of shot events by his team, minus the shot events by his opponent, while that player is on the ice.
  • QoC -- quality of competition (aka QUALCOMP). Qualcomp measures the strength of the opponents a given player faces on the ice, using relative plus/minus as the gauge.
  • Relative plus/minus -- a player's plus/minus relative to the plus/minus of his team when the player is off ice.
  • Corsi-relative -- A player's Corsi relative to the Corsi of his team when the player is off ice.
  • CSIrelQoC -- Quality of competition calculated using Corsi-relative (not plus/minus) to evaluate competition.
  • CsiQoC -- Quality of competition calculated using Corsi (not plus/minus, not Corsi-relative) to evaluate competition.
  • PDO -- the sum of a player's on-ice team shooting percentage and on-ice team save percentage. That is, how the team shoots when the player is on the ice, and how the goalie plays when the player is on the ice.
  • Ptak/60, Pdrw/60 -- Penalties taken/drawn per 60 minutes of ice-time.
  • Ozst% -- 5on5 Offensive zone starts. Higher number means the player is on the ice for more offensive zone face-offs. Defensive specialists get low numbers here.
  • GON/60 -- goals on-ice for per 60 minutes of 5on5 ice-time.
  • GAON/60 -- goals-against on-ice or per 60 minutes of 5on5 ice-time.
  • +-/60 -- plus/minus per 60 minutes of 5on5 ice-time.

What's the Kings' plan for the trade deadline? What should it be?

Los Angeles Kings left wing Dustin Penner, top left, is pushed over Colorado Avalanche goalie Jean-Sebastien Giguere, below, by defenseman Ryan O'Byrne during the third period of their NHL hockey game, Saturday, Jan. 21, 2012, in Los Angeles. The Avalanche won 3-1.  (AP Photo/Mark J. Terrill)

The last two trade deadlines have been a mixed bag for Dean Lombardi. I think some of you probably would call them unmitigated failures. Jeff Halpern (2010 deadline acquisition) sucked, that's true. And it doesn't help that we gave up Teddy Purcell to get him, only to see Purcell thrive in Tampa Bay last season. Last year's model, Dustin Penner, was good for a couple of games before Justin Williams and then Anze Kopitar went down with injuries, after which Penner all but disappeared. Fredrik Modin, though, was good in his few short weeks as a King back in 2010. And Penner has shown flashes of excellence (and comic brilliance) lately. So, I'm sticking with my "mixed bag" verdict.

Two years ago, the idea was to bring in depth. Last year, it was to add goals. And here we are again, with scoring once again at the top of the trade deadline wish list. A top-six left-winger. How many times have we heard that?

Simon Gagne was supposed to address this, as was Scott Parse, but they're both out, and I presume neither one is coming back this season. That means the Kings' depth at left wing starts with Penner and ends with Kyle Clifford, with nothing in between. We went through this in some detail before Terry Murray was fired, and I said something to the effect of "is there any point in pulling off a blockbuster for a player like Zach Parise if he's just going to flounder like everyone else in Terry Murray's system?"

Well, Murray is no more. He has ceased to be. And now the question is, what's Lombardi's next move? Is it:

  1. Stand pat, with the expectation that the team has the tools it needs to be successful?
  2. Make a depth trade, a minor deal or two for role players or veterans?
  3. Bring in a legitimate but aging (or hobbled) top-six forward who is maybe past his prime or else recovering from recent surgery and therefore doesn't cost Lombardi much?
  4. Bring in an elite sniper, possibly at significant cost?
I think there's just about zero chance of #1 and #2. I'm afraid we'll end up with #3. #4 is naturally everyone's (including the fans of 29 other teams) ideal choice, in the abstract, the abstract part being that you don't have to give up your favorite players when you make trades in your own mind. Who are the armchair GMs willing to part with?

Let's make a list.

I think it's reasonable to assume that the whole Simon Gagne experiment is in jeopardy at this point. I hope I'm wrong and he comes back at 100% next season, but I think it would be foolish to count on that. Which means the Kings (looking ahead to 2012-13) have four top-six forwards (Brown, Kopitar, Williams, Richards) and two openings. Next year, I expect Tyler Toffoli to make the team, but that's a conversation for another post. For today, the situation is that those two openings are being filled by Penner and Stoll, and neither one is getting it done. Since Penner has been coming around lately, and since he's actually a left-winger (not a center like Stoll), I think it makes sense to give the edge to Penner and deal Stoll.

But Stoll by himself isn't going to bring in an elite sniper. Oh, maybe Lombardi can work some magic and get a deal done for Stoll plus picks and prospects, but I think it's more realistic to look at the possibility of Stoll plus another roster player or two.

So...who?

The Kings have an excess of depth on defense. Doughty, Johnson, Voynov, Martinez -- that's four offensive defensemen. There isn't room for all of them. As a trade asset, Martinez isn't going to get us much. (That's kind of a classic message-board type trade proposal, right? Something like "Stoll, Martinez and Hickey for Parise".) That leaves Johnson or Voynov.

Okay, that's Stoll, and maybe Voynov or Johnson. Who else means anything? Loktionov (please god do not trade this player) and Bernier. I think it's pretty obvious that Andrei Loktionov will be something to behold when he has some wingers who can finish (Toffoli and/or Moller come to mind -- even poor luckless Scott Parse, who I don't expect to see in a Kings uniform ever again). I can see Lombardi parting with Bernier, the way he parted with Brayden Schenn -- in service of bringing an elite player to LA.

Would it be worth it to lose Bernier if it meant bringing in a truly elite top-three sniper? Oh, hell, I have to say yes. There's an additional issue, which is that the Kings need to shed salary in order to fit a mega-salary this season. Which I guess is where Stoll comes in. That's a salary that makes room, and doesn't create a huge hole. I don't want to lose any of Bernier, Johnson or Voynov; but I will learn to live with it, for a spectacular return.

I do think something like that is going to happen. Stoll plus Bernier, Stoll plus Voynov, Stoll plus Johnson, something like that. Between now and the deadline.

In the next post, we'll look at who the Kings might target. And they aren't all Zach Parise.

Kings-Senators Game Thread: Year of the Dragon!

LOS ANGELES, CA - DECEMBER 31:  Goaltender Jonathan Quick #32 and Justin Williams #14 of the Los Angeles Kings celebrate as teammate Anze Kopitar #11 looks on after their NHL game at Staples Center on December 31, 2011 in Los Angeles, California.

Traditions to be observed for good luck in the lunar new year:

Our minds must also be prepared to greet good luck properly. We exercise strict control of our tongues during the festive season. We must not only look clean, but also speak cleanly. Only honeyed words should come out of the mouth. No foul language and no unlucky words, such as "***" or "*** luck." Fortunately for children, there is no scolding or cursing.


Do you know what this means? RELENTLESS HAPPY SUNSHINE ENERGY.

And pork dumplings. Gotta have those too.

Since You Asked: Premature 50 Game Evaluation

Lineup change, and one before the break " LA Kings Insider
SUTTER: "I look at it as tonight is Game 50 [...]. Tomorrow will be a harder day for the players than today is. Tonight is Game 50, and where are you? How does that mathematically equate to, say, where you were last year at this point? Or what it’s going to take it set it up for those last 32, what you’re going to have to have. Whatever that number is going to be, in terms of being a playoff team, we’re a team that’s going to finish 50 (games) tonight. Then you should be able to sort of figure what you have to have.’’

I was going to do this over the break, but Coach Sutter has set it up too well. I can't resist.

How does that mathematically equate to where you were last year at this point?

  • The Kings currently have 56 points after 49 games, which is 3 points ahead of last year's pace.
  • Last year, the Kings had 55 points after 50 games (i.e. they won game 50). So even if the Kings lose tonight to the Sens, they will be ahead of last year's pace (by a point).
  • Last season, the Kings had just completed their nearly season-crushing 2-10-0 streak (games 36-47) and were two games into their massive season-saving hot streak, which saw them go 20-4-5, getting them to 94 points after game 76. Then Kopitar broke his foot and, well, you know the rest.
  • Sutter didn't ask about how this season stacks up against seasons previous to last year, but here's a chart anyway.
The left-most column indicates the game number. Next to that is the rank of this year's point total compared to the other seasons shown. Red indicates losing streaks going back a couple of seasons. Green is the Sutter Era. (Check out the 2006 column, which is way ahead of the pack; you might recall this as the season which ended with the wheels falling off, Sean Avery yelling at coaches in practice and getting suspended by the team, Andy Murray getting fired, the Kings missing the playoffs, Dave Taylor losing his job and...enter Dean Lombardi.)

What it's going to take it set it up for those last 32?

Back on December 19, I wrote this:

98 points: what the Kings need, when the Kings need it - Jewels From The Crown

The Kings have 50 games left, 32 points. Let's pretend the playoff threshold will be 98 points. Could be a couple of points less, but counting on that would be foolhardy. So let's go with 98: the Kings need 66 points in their final 50 games. That's a .660 point-percentage the rest of the way. Last season, when their rock-bottom was in the middle of January, the Kings needed to go approximately .700 the rest of the way, and they did it, finishing on a 22-8-5 tear. This year, it's not as steep a climb, but it's longer (since we crapped out earlier - yay?). To get to 98, the Kings would need some version of 33-17-0. If you want to throw in the statistically-likely number of OT/SOLs, make it 31-15-4.

That's doable. Especially for a team that's supposed to be one of the best in the Conference.

I broke the games down into blocks of (usually) six or seven games, with an eye toward making the breaks as natural as possible (i.e. the beginning of a road-trip or home-stand). The green line is the All-Star break. The red line is the trade deadline. In general, the Kings need to win 4 for every 2 they lose.

R is days of rest. Hr is hours between games. TP is total points. P is points needed for that block of games. Rec is record.

As you can see, I targeted 57 points through game 50. Which means we're one point away with one game left. So far so good.
