The Bannermen: LA Kings Podcast

Episode 6: Around the League in 80 Minutes

Winter is Coming... so it's time for our Season Preview Episode! Listen to us make bold predictions such as, "Pittsburgh is good" and "Hahahaha Vancouver!" We also discuss where the Kings will land in the Pacific, our picks for the Stanley Cup and Las Vegas' stupid white gloves.
Be sure to run to your bookie right after you listen and bet on our predictions because we're never wrong... NEVER.

Episode 5: List Misérables

Episode 5 is here and it’s chock-full of all the topics you’re dying to hear about… Brandon Prust, Jimmy Carson, Brian Boyle, f*cking Slava and Kyle Clifford. Buckle up, bannerheads. It’s going to be a bumpy ride down memory lane!
Also, seeing as how everyone is making lists these days, we decided to make our list: The Top 10 Active Former Kings We Want Back. The title needs work, but you get it.

Episode 4: No Country for Old Kings

In Episode 4, we welcome back Andrei Loktionov to the team probably and talk about why we think the Kings should trade Jake Muzzin yesterday. We also touch on the Olympics a bit and share our excitement in the likelihood of not knowing most of the players that will play in the tournament.
Then, it's story time with the Bannermen as we discuss some of our first Kings memories as well as a few gems about our meetings with Kings players that have resulted in ridicule. Come to think of it, why are we even sharing these on the show? Hurry up and listen before we change our minds and delete the entire episode.

Episode 3: Suicide Squid

Free Agent Frenzy is over and the Kings don't look much different than they did when they missed the playoffs in April... so that's exciting. We discuss Mike Cammalleri, the pursuit of Joe Thornton and Pierre Turgeon drawing up plays in the shotgun formation.
Also, we introduce a new segment called, "Banner Moments" where we select a specific time in Kings history that can make us smile and weep at the same time. This week's topic... The trade for Anson Carter in 2004. We know. Super masochistic.

Episode 2: A Tale of Two Drafts

In Episode 2, we laugh at all the GMs who let Gabe Vilardi slip to the Kings and quietly rejoice that Trevor Lewis will continue to win the Kings' Unsung Hero award for a few more years.
Also, we discuss Free Agent options heading into July 1st while still somehow talking about Gabriel Landeskog and how he probably won't be coming to the Kings regardless of how much put it out into the universe.

Episode 1: The Force A-Blake-ens

In our debut episode, we wax poetic about Dean Lombardi and his collective man crush on all the players between 2012 and 2014. We examine the Kings' downfall and all the events that led to one of the shortest editions of "The Glory Years" of any team in NHL History.
Also, It's the off season. Blake is the GM. Luc is doing hockey things now. The Expansion Draft is coming. The Entry Draft is coming. Rumors about the Kings targeting a top-6 forward. Dogs and cats living together. Mass hysteria!
