POSITION PREVIEW: Defensive Tackles

by BracketCat on Sep 1, 2010 1:00 AM EDT on Bring On The Cats

Like a familiar refrain, the same question hovers over the impending football season the haunted the last five: Will K-State finally find a pass rush? Of course, the key to any good pash rush is for the big uglies in the middle to stuff up the offensive line and shut down the running game,...

Roster I Wish Were Possible

New Post, in which, instead of earning money, I decide to crunch cap figures related to the preposterous Sedin twins to L.A. UFA rumor

by Quisp on Jun 30, 2009 5:17 PM EDT on Jewels From The Crown

Here's why I don't think the swedish twins in socal rumor makes any sense, especially not Deano sense. Math. The twins want $12MM/year. The Kings, after re-signing Johnson and Purcell, then adding $12MM for the Sedins, would be at at least $58MM. $59MM if Hickey makes the team. So we have to dump...

cut-and-paste of my own comment from Inside the Kings, just so I don't forget I said it and because it's so hard to find anything in the Inside the Kings archives

by Quisp on May 17, 2009 7:35 PM EDT on Jewels From The Crown

The season after next will be interesting cap-wise, as [commenter "src3" on the Inside the Kings "board" said] said. Not just because of Frolov being a UFA and the cap coming down a bit, but also because both Quincey and Quick will be RFA. Next year, Fro's hit is 2.9, Quick's .8, Quincey's .6, and...

Top 20 Disappointing Performances of the 2008/2009 NHL Season | The Hockey Writers

14) Justin Williams (Los Angeles Kings) An early return from an Achilles tendon injury by Williams was encouraging. Some extensive time off may have proved to be useful because the Cobourg native didn’t resemble the player he was in previous seasons. Williams posted 10 points (three goals, seven...

"Is this team really that promising?"

by Quisp on Mar 26, 2009 4:22 PM EDT on Jewels From The Crown

Ersberg (commenter on "Inside the Kings," not the actual Ersberg) asked the following great questions in the Inside the Kings comments section: "Does anyone else think the Kings seem to not have the type of offense that some teams have that can be a threat on almost any possession? They just seem...

Kings Gameday: It's The End of the World As We Know It - Battle of California

by Quisp on Mar 24, 2009 9:21 PM EDT on Jewels From The Crown

It's way too early to judge Justin Williams (forget the rest of this season), but man alive has he sucked so far. His blown pass against the Penguins led to a Sidney Crosby goal and then he got a 4-minute double minor against the Blackhawks. Oh well, at least he's good at ping pong. via Kings...
