148: More Cowbell? More Brandt Clarke

152: The Best Losers Ever

The Los Angeles Kings are in the playoffs! And one big reason for that accomplishment is mastering the art of losing. After setting a record for most overtime games and most OT losses, those points earned in extra minutes helped the Kings sneak into the final spot in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. And though the team lost their first game against the Colorado Avalanche, keeping the score to 2-1 is inspiring some dangerous feelings of... hope? Chanelle and Diane unpack the end of the regular season, Game 1 of the Kings-Avs series, and of course use the opportunity to revisit loving Adrian Kempe (and why he should be the future).

151: New Coach, New Record, New Kings?

A lot has changed for the Kings since the Olympic break ended. Jim Hiller is OUT as the coach, and the trade deadline saw a few players leave (like Foegele and Perry) and others join (like Joseph and Laughton). Chanelle and Diane get into how this all has changed the team on the ice so far and whether there's more optimism about the team making the playoffs now. Plus, what's up with all the season-ending injuries and Department of Play Safety drama?

150: Double Gold and Double-Faced

Babyyyy, Team USA hockey went to the 2026 Olympics in Italy and came back with TWO gold medals. Both the Women's and Men's hockey teams came out on top. Chanelle and Diane were letting their eagle wings soar all over the Los Angeles streets... until the record scratch circus of the US Men's hockey team's post-win tragicomedy of errors. Woof! Plus, it's time to turn the attention back to the NHL. Could the Kings-ification of the Olympic in-game sounds bring a little golden magic back to help the boys in black?

149: Trades are here! And the Olympics

The LA Kings went into the Olympic with a whimper.... except when it comes to trade news. Chanelle and Diane get into the good and the ugly, and then try to untangle how much of this move is about this season vs 2026-27. Plus, it's time to finally indulge in a little Olympics hype until the NHL returns.

148: More Cowbell? More Brandt Clarke

The LA Kings are still losing more than winning, but at least they're back to making it to overtime? Look, we have to take the small joys where we can. Luckily, the list of joys includes Brandt Clarke, and like so many Kings fans, we're ready for Coach Jim Hiller to put trust in Clarke more consistently. Plus, Chanelle and Diane dig into trade rumors (quick take: ugh!), touch on NHL players reacting to the 'Heated Rivalry' phenomenon and get pretty excited about a goalie fight (!!!) last week.
