Kings World Podcast - Ep 2.1

Welcome back everyone! Marie, of Purple Crushed Velvet, and I are back for another fun-filled season of Kings World Podcast. We're in our second year as the Kings are starting the 2009-10 season. The team has already played a few games going 3-1-0, which puts them first in the Pacific Division and tied for second in the Western Conference. In this episode we review Frozen Fury XII, these opening games, and the games for this upcoming week, which starts in a few hours with the Kings facing off against the New York Islanders at 11:00 am PST! This episode is short and sweet with a few sound glitches, but we hope you still enjoy listening and give any and all feedback!

Kings World Podcast - Ep 1.34

It's that time of the summer when there just isn't anything to get excited over. To combat this "sheer excitement," Marie and I got together to record something semi-interesting about the Kings. There have been some movement and additions by Dean Lombardi, but nothing too earth shattering.

We discuss the trades and signings as well as who the Kings picked in the 2009 NHL Draft. Marie isn’t as confident as I am that the Kings will make the playoffs, but there is always a chance the Kings can actually pull something out of their behinds. Of course, everyone looks forward to Frozen Fury coming to you this year on September 26. Also, you will be able to hear Marie’s exciting Chicago story, which blows Patrick Kane’s out of the water!

Kings World Podcast - Ep 1.33

This is the last episode before the end of the regular season and Marie and I take a gander at how the last two weeks have spanned for the Kings. Not surprisingly the team did not do so well after suffering injuries and playing in hodge podge lines. We also discuss the Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy selections for the Pacific Division, touch on Jarret Stoll’s contribution in the faceoff circle, and wonder which teams will make the playoffs and which will suffer with the rest of the bottom feeders. Please listen and enjoy!

Kings World Podcast - Ep 1.32

Episode 32 covers the past two weeks’ worth of games, which equals a total of 7 games. The Kings went 2-4-1 and I finally admit that the Kings are toast. With 10 games left on the schedule, it seems that the end is in sight for the Kings who are sitting 7 points out of the 8th spot in the Western Conference.

I give my thoughts on the Evgeni Malkin hit on Wayne Simmonds, Marie doesn’t understand why Kevin Westgarth is in the lineup, and we both are unsure of the next week of games. The Kings face the St. Louis Blues, Dallas Stars, and Nashville Predators. It's anyone's guess as to how they'll do. We also pick the player who had the Best Two Weeks Ever. Actually, I give Marie options for her to make the decision. Please listen and enjoy!

Kings World Podcast - Ep 1.31

Marie and I are joined this week by Greener from He Score, He Shoot! Moose is no where to be found so Greener attempts to pick up the slack for both of them while the ladies are sitting comfortably. The setting is a familiar Starbucks with some interesting things going on at that bustling location. The three of us discusses the trade deadline and how our respective teams fared, then Marie does game recaps for the Kings with a bit of help from me, and Greener ponders the meaning of life. Simply put: it’s talk while hoping funny things are being said!

Kings World Podcast - Ep 1.30

This episode brings things back into perspective for Marie and me. We open the show by looking at the Kings 1-2-0 record from the past week and really think about how this is going to effect what they'll do on Wednesday, March 4, trade deadline day. According to Marie, this week could make or break the rest of the season, but I'm a bit more optimistic with a hint of sarcasm to go along with it. We spend the latter half of the show doing a bit of analysis on the Kings specifically concerning the trade deadline and think about whose name could be brought into the mix.

I also read an email I received from a reader and have extended his question to you, the listeners. Please listen and let us know if you know the answer. It will be greatly appreciated!

Kings World Podcast - Ep 1.29

Marie and I are reporting this week that maybe the Kings weren’t as good as we had hoped. After a stellar week two weeks prior, the Kings failed to gain any ground in the standings going 1-2-1 this past week. The Pacific Division games are their usual unpredictable selves while the game against the Atlanta Thrashers proved to be a wild one. After 12 regulation goals and a 4-round shootout, the Kings fail to gain two points there. This next week sees the Kings playing three games away from Staples Center, which could be the remedy to their ailing. We also discuss their findings from commentors on what they thought were the most annoying lines to hear at hockey games. Please let us know if you agree or disagree.

Kings World Podcast - Ep 1.28

Here is EPISODE 28: Back To Reality!

The Kings were back in Staples for two of the three games this past week and Marie and I wonder whether they’ve been brought back to reality or not. The Kings haven’t been in the playoff hunt for a number of years and it’s apparent to everyone in the locker room, in the seats at Staples, and those viewing at home. Atlanta, Anaheim, San Jose, and Phoenix are up next for this week and the ladies give out Valentine’s to a couple of unpredictable (yet predictable) Kings players.

Question to the listeners: what are some annoying comments that you have overheard at hockey games? Let us know so we can read them on the air!

Kings World Podcast - Ep 1.27

This week the Kings surprise the both of us (me and Marie) by getting six points out of a possible six while in the middle of a five-game road trip. They faced the Ottawa Senators, Washington Capitals, and New Jersey Devils where two out of the three have been doing very well. Marie and I have plenty to talk about from Davis Drewiske to Alexander Ovechkin to Michael Cammalleri. This is a jam packed episode so please listen and enjoy!

Kings World Podcast - Ep 1.26

Tonight Marie was delayed by traffic and subsequently absent from the podcast, but Sherry of Scarlett Ice was gracious enough to be a guest this week. She comes on the show in a very timely manner seeing as how Craig Hartsburg was let go as of Monday morning from the Ottawa Senators. A very unfortunate event for her team, but she is on the show and sounding not completely cheerful but not ready to throw her team under the bus... I think. The Kings are their usual selves and hopefully on the upswing. They head into this week going up against 3 eastern conference teams. Please listen and enjoy!

Kings World Podcast - Ep 1.25

The All-Star weekend gives Marie and me a minimal number of games to talk about, but we more than make up for it with thoughts and gripes with the actual All-Star festivities and such. Nothing too deep, just initial reactions to what was shown to the viewers. Dustin Brown is a centerpiece of this portion since he was the lone Kings representative. We touch on plenty of topics and throw a question to the listeners. Please listen and give us your thoughts!

Kings World Podcast - Ep 1.24

After a missing a week, Marie and I are back with another episode. The Kings have gone 1-4-1 in the last two weeks with not much else to show for it, and we try to not be as bleak as reality proves. There isn’t too much fluff in this one but there are a few tidbits in there, so check it out!

Marie and I ring in the new year with another episode for you. The previous week was skipped due to the celebration of the Christmas and New Year holidays. Things are back to normal; the game reviews are their usual selves but the previews offer some analysis and insight on players of other teams. The new year brings hope since the Kings aren’t out of the playoff hunt just yet!

The Kings are on a 4-game losing streak and Marie and I aren’t completely discouraged but explain that the Kings had better shape up quick. We do a sharp roundup of the games the past week and preview the games for the Christmas week with only three games on tap: one against the Columbus Blue Jackets and a back-to-back against the Phoenix Coyotes. Listen, enjoy, and have a safe holiday celebration!

Kings World Podcast - Ep 1.21

Marie comes back from being MIA last episode, and she and I return to our usual antics of praising the usual players while vilifying those that deserve it. Since there were too many games to run through, we speed through everything a bit and end the show at a reasonable hour. Who had the “best week ever?” Tune in to find out! Although, it’s not surprising… like at all.

Kings World Podcast - Ep 1.20

This episode is an HS/HS Invasion! This week's episode found Marie mysteriously absent, which left me to take on the reigns. I take the initiative and invite Greener and Moose from He Score, He Shoot! as my awesome guests. Moose holds his own while discussing his Edmonton Oilers, Greener makes a feeble attempt of talking about his Toronto Maple Leafs, and I am my normal awesome self when the Kings come up in the conversation. There is a reason these guys are on the show, which is explained at the top of the episode, and the general merriment extends the show past the normal recording time. Please drop by and have a listen to the madness this odd threesome creates.

In this episode Marie and I review the past two weeks for the Kings. There were plenty of games to go through and there were a few games to preview as well. I discuss the Meet The Players party and Marie delves into the Kings new third jersey. The Player of the Week changes names and the shoutouts stay the same.

Kings World Podcast - Ep 1.18

This episode marked the start of Erik Ersberg in the net for the Kings. Marie and I relive the past week and the Kings’ three games against Anaheim, Florida, and St. Louis. We then look ahead to the next three, which has the Kings going against Dallas twice and Nashville once. Marie gives the listener a bit more of her mind concerning the Rinkside View that a FSN executive producer is pressing upon the unwilling viewers. We give props to our Player of the Week and end with the usual business.

Kings World Podcast - Ep 1.17

This week Marie and I decided to meet up and have a dinner before recording. Once the spotlight hit our voices, we focused on how the Kings spent their last week. We reviewed the games against Detroit, Vancouver, and Calgary and looked ahead to Anaheim, Florida, and St. Louis. The topic that dominated much of the podcast was that of lineups; trying to remember them and subsequently complaining about them. After some confusion and talking about other various “important” matters, we pick the Player of the Week. If you’ve been watching the Kings this week, this shouldn’t come as a surprise.

Kings World Podcast - Ep 1.16

Marie and I are back and we get down to business in this episode. We review the past three games where the Kings faced off against Colorado, St. Louis, and Nashville. If you think we were completely okay with the game against Nashville not being aired, guess again. Much thanks to the NHL for, once again, rendering both teams irrelevant. We then preview the games for this coming week against Detroit, Vancouver, and Calgary. Will Michael Cammalleri be booed or hear some cheers from Kings fans? Your guess is as good as ours! Please listen in because the Player Of The Week is well deserving of his props. Enjoy!
