He’s Still Looking for Coverage of Kings

The Kings are the hottest team in the NHL right now, yet The Times’ coverage of their exploits is noticeably absent. Could it be because Lisa Dillman, your hockey reporter of the moment, severely underestimated their talent while picking them to finish fifth in their division?

Of course, who has the time to cover a success story when the NBA season previews need to be condensed to a week’s worth of articles, the torrid starts of the Rams and Raiders must be dissected ad nauseam and the all-important baseball expansion draft to determine which overpaid player the local teams will lose demands your constant attention?

I can see it all now--the Kings finally win the Stanley Cup, you forget to assign a reporter to the game and an “L.A. Lazers--Where Are They Now?� article is front-page news the next day.
