The San Jose Sharks' six-game winning streak means they're now challenging the Kings for the top spot! Ahh, the return of California rivalry. LA's finishing up a road trip that has had its ups and bizarre own-goal downs. Meanwhile, the NHL prepares to switch up the All-Star Game format (3! on! 3!) and players will get more time off next season.

Ahh, the air continues to smell nice atop the Pacific Division. While other teams around the NHL are starting to express frustration, things are chill in LA. Meanwhile, what's up with Jonathan Quick's dark magic?

The LA Kings break their win streak but bounce back to lift the spirits quickly. Anze Kopitar may have been a casualty, joining a couple other players in a weird rash of big injuries hitting all at once. Meanwhile, more sad news about Mike Richards.

Kings of the Pacific! After a rocky start, the LA Kings are now on a six-game win streak. Jonathan Quick has rebounded, including earning a shutout against the Hurricanes, and with the help of inconclusive video review, he's also done a number on new NHL phenom Connor McDavid. Meanwhile, Jeff Carter and Tyler Toffoli make us believe in magic.

Finally! Wins! The LA Kings managed to avoid starting the season with four straight losses, which would've set a franchise record, so Chanelle and Diane are celebrating. By the way, have you heard about Tyler Toffoli and Anze Kopitar?

This is definitely not the start to the season that anyone wanted from the LA Kings. At least they worked out a settlement with Mike Richards, and that was all good... until Dean Lombardi made it weird. AGAIN.

New year, new Kings! Sort of. The Kings have seen a little more roster shake-up than fans are used to seeing the last few seasons. They're also trying to rebuild trust after a slew off-ice missteps. Chanelle and Diane are back to evaluate the fresh faces, dig into the questions we still haven't seen asked about off-ice initiatives, and get stoked for the regular season. Hockey's back!

Shana Naomi Krochmal joins Chanelle and Diane to help vent all frustrations with Dean Lombardi and the Kings organization for the 2014-15 season. But after knocking 'em down, it's still fun to bask in the reasons it seems worthwhile to continue to have hope for LA's team.

Diane calls from the road to talk about the end of the LA Kings' playoff win streak. Thursday night, the Kings lost 3-2 at home to the Anaheim Ducks. They won't sweep round two, but Chanelle and Diane still think they can win it.

The King is dead! Long live the King! Despite earning the exact same record as 2011-12, the Kings miss the playoffs this year instead of sneaking in. Diane and Chanelle talk about why fans can still be excited, ponder that silly NY Post story, and then uncover which Kings player is secretly a superhero. Summer's here! But don't be sad.
