Locked On Kings - Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Kings

The Ontario Reign were one of the top teams in the AHL this season but fizzled in the playoffs. Now that we've got some distance from the series end, we look at how they fared against the Colorado Eagles and what some contributing factors were for their elimination. Plus we check in on the IIHF Men's Worlds competition, where three Kings/Reign players are representing their countries.

With the Los Angeles Kings' season officially over, it's time to learn about what ailed everyone. Rob Blake gave updates on Viktor Arvidsson's status. We also learned some information about Alex Iafallo and Alex Edler. Carl Grundstrom heads abroad to represent Team Sweden in men's worlds, but most importantly, Drew Doughty had a lot of feelings. We'll take a look at Doughty's drive to return to play and his role in advocating for the team to take bigger steps this offseason.

With the Los Angeles Kings losing game six at home and the Ontario Reign losing game two in overtime, both franchise teams are facing elimination in their next game. We look at the Kings loss to Edmonton and some potential lineup changes we could see. Plus, another look at the role special teams has played for the Kings. Special teams has been a story for the Reign, too, who have scored no power play goals in the playoffs despite having the league's best power play this season. Discipline and unforced errors have cost both teams. We look at the Reign's situation and what needs to happen on Sunday for them to prolong their season.

The Los Angeles Kings won a messy game against the Edmonton Oilers in overtime, giving them a 3-2 series lead. The Kings now have the chance to win their first playoff series since 2014 and do it on home ice. We look at the Kings win, including the standout performance from Adrian Kempe, and some of the Oilers' struggles, including the move that got Darnell Nurse suspended. We also look at the Ontario Reign, who begin their playoff series against the Colorado Eagles today. The Reign struggled against Colorado in the regular season, so what's in store for them now in the post-season? Finally, we celebrate Reign forward TJ Tynan, who becomes the first AHL player since the 80s to win back to back MVP honors.

Well, you can't win them all. After a strong showing in game one, the Los Angeles Kings had no answer for the Edmonton Oilers offense in game two as they turned in a 6-0 loss. We look at what went wrong, including some turning points in the game. With the young players on the Kings continuing to struggle, will Todd McLellan change his lineup for game three at home? And will they ever figure out special teams? At least the Ontario Reign had a great night, turning in a statement win over the San Diego Gulls. We look at their game one win as the team preps for game two tonight.

It's not just the Los Angeles Kings who are seeing some playoff action. The Ontario Reign begin their best-of-three series against the San Diego Gulls tonight. Special contributor Jay Forster joins the show to talk about TJ Tynan's just-missed campaign for 100 points this season, and the final regular season action for the Reign. We also look at the San Diego Gulls, including key players, and additions from Anaheim. With this series potentially coming down to a goalie battle, we also look at Lukas Dostal, the Gulls starter, and his history of stealing games.

To everyone who was saying Oilers in 4, how's it feel to be wrong? Today we look at the Los Angeles Kings win over the Edmonton Oilers in game one of the playoffs, where the Kings won the battle at even strength en route to a 4-3 victory. We look at what life's been like for the Kings since the last time they appeared in the playoffs, and then focus on the second line of Phil Danault, Trevor Moore, and Alex Iafallo, who led scoring for the Kings. We also look at a few problem areas the Kings will want to look to clean up, including some young players being a bit too tentative against some of the best players in the league.

For the first time since 2018, the Los Angeles Kings are back in the playoffs. Locked On Oilers host Brett Howden joins the show to talk about what we can expect. We look at major storylines for each team, including goaltending. Can the Oilers trust Mike Smith? And can Jonathan Quick keep up his great performance for the Kings? How will the blue line fare for the Kings? And how exactly do you shut down Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl? We look at all of that plus make some predictions for the first round.

The San Jose Sharks helped the Los Angeles Kings out by defeating the Vegas Golden Knights, bringing the Kings magic number down to "one". Jay and Sarah look at Vegas's situation as they sit on the verge of elimination, and basically no one feels bad for them. We look at the Kings next opponent, the Seattle Kraken, where a win would secure a playoff berth for the Kings. Finally we look at the Reign, who are locked into the #2 spot in the Pacific Division, and TJ Tynan, who's two points away from hitting the 100 mark this season.

A few hours after news broke that Guy Lafleur, Montreal Canadiens legend and Hockey Hall of Famer, had passed away at the age of 70, Locked On Canadiens hosts Scott Matla and Laura Saba recorded a special bonus ad-free episode to share their immediate reaction.

They reflected on the legacy he leaves behind and tried to contextualize the loss of a favourite Canadiens great, and what it means to the Habs, the city of Montreal, the province of Quebec, the NHL, and hockey as a whole. It would be easy to list his many on-ice accomplishments, such as five Stanley Cups, three Art Ross trophies, the most points scored by any Montreal Canadien, and many, many more, but what he truly meant to the hockey community was more than just the way he played - it was the way he embodied what it meant to be legend off the ice as well.
