MayorsManor podcast - The Lockout is Over - by Mayors Manor
January 10, 2013 08:41Hey, not sure if you've heard yet, but hockey is back! Fresh on the heels of the NHL and NHLPA announcing they've reached a tentative agreement to get back on the ice, we bring you two of the voices Kings fans have been longing to hear over the past few months - Bob Miller and Daryl Evans. Joined by co-host Dennis Bernstein of The Fourth Period, we'll chat with both broadcasters about what they did during the lockout, how they're preparing for the return of NHL action and what the Kings n...
MayorsManor podcast - Tribute to David Courtney - by Mayors Manor
January 10, 2013 08:39Sometimes, things change forever. For many Kings fans, David Courtney was the only voice they'd ever heard announce a goal or a penalty. He had been with the organization for nearly 35 years, starting out doing odd jobs at the age of 14. Yet, for the better part of 25 years he'd been the PA Announcer - first at the Forum and eventually at Staples Center. Last Thursday was a rough day. Courtney passed away at the young age of 56, leaving behind the woman of his dreams - who he had only recen...
MayorsManor podcast with Drew Doughty LA Kings - by Mayors Manor
January 10, 2013 08:37Today's show goes in so many different directions, it's hard to even know where to start. The 2011-12 LA Kings were a tight-knit group of guys, no doubt. However, they were also an eclectic mix of personalities. You had the grizzled vet in Willie Mitchell, the new guy in Mike Richards, the ultra-reserved goalie in Jonathan Quick and so on. There was also Drew Doughty. He's given us so many great quotes over the last few seasons it would be hard to narrow things down to a best-of type lis...
MayorsManor podcast with Jeff Carter LA Kings - by Mayors Manor
January 10, 2013 08:34Years from now there just might be a movie made about LA Kings right wing Jeff Carter. This is Hollywood after all. Like the tale of his best friend and teammate, Mike Richards, the simple story has been told too many times already - successful career in junior hockey, AHL Championship his first year there, an NHL first round draft pick, given a long-term deal with the Flyers, eventually exiled to Columbus. Yet, that's really where the good part starts. In a blockbuster trade last Februar...
MayorsManor podcast with Davis Payne LA Kings asst coach - by Mayors Manor
January 10, 2013 08:31After resigning his three unrestricted free agents earlier this summer - Colin Fraser, Dustin Penner and Jarret Stoll - Kings GM Dean Lombardi had his roster all but set. However, the team was still set to make one more addition in late July. Following an interview process that included putting guys to work at his ranch in Alberta, head coach Darryl Sutter was ready to name his replacement for outgoing assistant coach Jamie Kompon. Enter Davis Payne, who just turned 42 years old yesterday. ...
MayorsManor podcast with Colin Hanks - by Mayors Manor
January 10, 2013 08:28Through the years we've had a variety of guests on the MayorsManor show - including prospects, current players and several NHL legends. Today is no different, although we're going in a slightly different direction. Instead of talking to one of the guys on the ice we'll be joined by somebody who watches from the stands. Colin Hanks is best known as an actor, however he's also a huge sports fan. Specifically, he's been following the LA Kings for about 25 years now. So, we'll go back in time an...
MayorsManor podcast with Fred Coury of Cinderella - Mayors Manor
January 10, 2013 08:25It's an old cliche, but it's true. Rock stars want to be athletes and sports stars want to be musicians. In the case of Fred Coury, he's sort of found a way to do both. Best known as the man behind the drum kit for Cinderella, the New York native has also turned his love affair with hockey into a part-time job. When Coury's not out on the road or in the studio working on music, he's thinking up new ways to enhance the LA Kings in-arena experience. From participating in an advisory board run...
MayorsManor podcast - Stanley Cup Final Preview by Mayors Manor
January 10, 2013 08:22Iconic rock band KISS opens their shows with the p.a. announcer stating 'You wanted the best, you got the best! The hottest band in the world...' We'll, if you'll allow us to riff on that, we're throwing out this today - 'You wanted the best, you got the best! The greatest guest list ever assembled to talk Kings and Devils...' How great you ask? We have not just one, but two members of the Hockey Hall of Fame - and another guy who will be inducted into the Hall on the first ballot in just a...
MayorsManor Podcast with NHL legend Mike Modano
December 22, 2012 19:42In 2009 Mike Modano made his first appearance on MayorsManor. It was an in-depth look back his career, from being drafted in the first round by Minnesota to winning a Stanley Cup in Dallas, from his international success with Team USA to being dropped on his head by some EMTs and he even reflected on breaking a few records set by U.S. born players. Since then, he's been back several times - where we discussed his signing with the Red Wings, playing the Kings one final time in LA and, for ...
MayorsManor Podcast with NHL goalie Marty Turco
December 22, 2012 19:39After 543 games played in the National Hockey League, goaltender Marty Turco may have manned his last crease...or he might not have. Much like the NHL lockout, Turco's future remains to be determined. At the moment, he's an unrestricted free agent and can sign with any team interested once play resumes. But, does he want to come back? He believes he has plenty left in the tank - enough to be a starting goalie for several more years actually. Yet, is he willing to put his mind, body an...
MayorsManor Podcast with LA Kings Alec Martinez
December 22, 2012 19:35Among the many sub-stories to the NHL lockout is the number of players who've signed deals to play in Europe. And specific to the LA Kings, the player the organization is most likely concerned about is defenseman Alec Martinez. Back on November 13th he was struck in the face with a slapshot while playing for TPS Turku in Finland. MayorsManor had previously posted pictures and video of the situation. However, Martinez is only now available to talk about things after being on the mend for...
MayorsManor Podcast with Metal Blade CEO Brian Slagel
December 21, 2012 00:41Heavy Metal and hockey, they go together like - well, everything and hockey! Brian Slagel's Metal Blade Records is currently celebrating 30 years or serving the music scene and during those same three decades the other constant in his life has been a passion for hockey. While it doesn't grab the headlines the same way helping launch Metallica does, he owns over 2,000 jerseys and had season tickets at the Forum back in the early '80s. So, like many of the bands on his label, Slagel has pa...

October 03, 2011 19:03The MayorsManor podcast is back for the 2011-12 NHL season and this edition isn't going to need much of an intro. Prior to the LA Kings departing for their season opening trip to Europe for the NHL Premiere series, we caught up with various players to talk about the experience in front of them. All of your favorite Kings are included, like - Drew Doughty, Matt Greene, Jack Johnson, Anze Kopitar, Willie Mitchell, Dustin Penner, Rob Scuderi, Jarret Stoll, Kevin Westgarth and more.

MayorsManor Podcast with Mark Hardy
March 15, 2011 22:07Mark Hardy played 616 games on the LA Kings blueline. He also has the second most assists, third most points and fifth most penalty minutes by a defenseman in franchise history. His career saw him go from being drafted by the Kings, shipped to New York after eight seasons in LA, then back to the Kings for their run to the Stanley Cup Finals in 1993 and eventually behind the bench in a coaching role that lasted more than 10 seasons. Along the way he was twice named the Kings best defenseman...
MayorsManor Podcast with Tony Granato
February 11, 2011 11:03When you evaluate a trade in sports years down the line if you'd still make the same trade again, that usually tells you which team won the exchange. In the case of the Kings sending Bernie Nicholls to the New York Rangers for Tomas Sandstrom and Tony Granato, of course they'd do that deal again. The offensive duo helped propel the Kings to new heights in the early '90s, including a trip to the Stanley Cup Finals in 1993. These days Granato is an assistant coach with the Pittsburgh Penguin...

Truly candid comments from Lappy, especially about his former teammates. This has been one of the most popular interviews to ever appear on MayorsManor.c...
MayorsManor Podcast with Kerry Fraser
February 04, 2011 22:46Very few people in the world of hockey ever become as well known as the players on the ice. Then again, there aren't many people like Kerry Fraser either. He's perhaps the most recognizable referee in the history of hockey. In his 30-year career he managed to get under the skin of fans in nearly every NHL city. Yet, he was simply doing his job in most cases. At the end of last season he hung up his whistle after more than 2,000 games all across North America. He penned a book, The Final Ca...
