Kings game on ABTV is glitching badly and unwatchable.

Asking for a bounce-back sesson from Kuemper for the 2nd time in 3 season was always a risk given his injury history and him being 36.

It's only one game but so far not so good. #GoKingsGo

@MarcelAndRogie "Erik Portillo to the white courtesy phone ..."

[Don Perez @dsperez]

@Kopitar4HOF Should we activate the Portillo countdown?

[Jesse Cohen🌴All The Kings Men @KingsMenPodcast]

ya know what give Colorado a delay of game for slowing the goalie down getting to the bench on the delayed penalty too....

Hockey thoughts before puck drop for LA, Anaheim and San Jose.
Also, shocker of a Stanley Cup Finals prediction. At least it's not involving Edmonton or Florida.

On LAK W v ANA:

Alex Turcotte’s 2 goals aren’t the story. Laviolette talking about him as 2C is.

If he can handle 2C, Byfield Panarin and Kempe is intact, Haula strengthens third line. Turcotte doesn’t just have to make himself better, he can make the lineup fit better.

[Don Perez @dsperez]

@MarcelAndRogie Enough to get third, maybe better if VGK or EDM have issues.
Ducks had too many departures, especially on defense. Temp downer year in ANA.
SJS need another year. Will be right behind LA and will have the rest of the fandoms whining it should be them and not LAK in playoffs.

The new guys are doing their thing, and some of you might owe Ken Holland an apology.

A look at the hundreds of fans and Southern Cal rec hockey players who come to shop at the LA Kings' summer sale that kicks off the upcoming NHL season.

Preseason for LA starts Saturday, against Vegas.

Hm. Looks like the Kempe at center experiment is for real.

Scott Laughton not at center seems like a wasted opportunity at the dot, but I get the Haula/Armia chemistry on that line. But Laughton had better numbers recently at faceoffs. Wonder if they might flip the two.

Latest article, written for The LA Local:
Preview of Sept. 4 knights of the octagon action, pitting the best armored combat warriors from NYC and LA in a tournament. Yep, guys in steel suits wielding blunt medieval weapons in 21st century MMA-style bouts.

Sweet Thumb of Torrance this week, a bakery specializing in gluten-free, vegan and in my case, sugar-free items.

Taking a break for a month from the food reviews, and might move blog to Substack.

@MarcelAndRogie A proposed move to Long Beach would've helped in a lot of ways. Part of me would've loved the chaos if they took AEG's rejected NFL pitch.

Still impressive PCL history, played in LA early in MLB expansion, and the Dodgers stole the OG team's logo by buying and discarding them.

[Don Perez @dsperez]

Ten 18-to-24-year-olds with ties to the Long Beach area will get a chance to learn skills and make connections in the entertainment industry. Zoom info meeting on Wednesday, Aug. 26; sign-ups end Sept. 4.

A look at traffic issues and how small businesses are coping with their new neighbor in Hawthorne. Also, driving on Inglewood Avenue is like playing the arcade game Paperboy with your car.
