Congratulations to Rich

Some of you have been wondering where Rich has been lately. He was promoted to deputy sports editor at the Daily News. I don't know if he'll be around here much anymore. While we'll all miss his input on the blog, it can't be bad for future coverage as the team improves to have another editor who appreciates the Kings.

Congrats Rich! We'll miss you here for sure, but Matt seems to be taking good care of us in your absence so far so I guess we might survive :) Keep up the good work Matt, you're doing great.

Congratulations Rich!!! I hope you still get a chance to get that interview with Mark Morris. (If not, I would hope that you would be able to get that interview Matt).

I hope that this promotion will allow you to have more influence in getting Kings news out to more people, especially since the Kings future is looking bright. And maybe even allow Matt to go on the road with the Kings so that we can get information whenever they are away.Please don't forget about us die hards. And stop in whenever you get a chance, to just say high.

Once again Congrats Rich, best wishes for you!!!

Congratulations Rich!!! Maybe slowly but surely, you can embarrass the Kings ownership to do something right. Just like the press pressures the Toronto Maple Leafs! Please keep in touch with us!!! By the way you left us with a good man, Matt keep it going man!

Matt, we all hope you will continue running the site the same way and you have the same passion for the team that Rich does.
