LOS ANGELES -- Those two Stanley Cup title banners in the Staples Center rafters dont have dust on them just yet.The Los Angeles Kings think theyre too good to go without a playoff series victory over the last two years, and theyre determined to find new ways to have the same success that made them champions.After blowing the Pacific Division title in their final game of their 102-point regular season and then getting routed in the first round by San Jose, the Kings went back to work this fall with a new captain and a renewed belief they can contend for NHL titles with essentially the same core that won it all in 2012 and 2014.Training camp has been lively in Los Angeles, where coach Darryl Sutter has returned with the same deliberate mentality about building a championship team around a tough two-way style of play. Its not an easy way to play, but their 2012 playoff rampage is the only thing the Kings ever made look easy.I dont think its any secret that the theme is competition, veteran defenseman Rob Scuderi said. This team has had tremendous success in the past. Missing the playoffs (in 2015), and then having a first-round exit and maybe not playing the way we would have liked to, I think its a fresh start. Youve got to earn your spot. No matter what your position was or what you hope it to be, youve got to earn your time.Anze Kopitar is the Kings new captain after the club stripped the C from underachieving forward Dustin Brown, who didnt exactly like the way it was all handled. Browns meager production and massive contract have kept him tethered to Los Angeles, but general manager Dean Lombardi hopes fewer responsibilities will rekindle Browns skills.The Kings will be led by Kopitar and Drew Doughty, who added his first Norris Trophy to his overflowing awards case this summer. After long stretches at the World Cup of Hockey, Kopitar and Doughty are expected to play in preseason games this week in Las Vegas, and theyll be ready to roll for the season opener in San Jose next week.Here are more things to know about the Kings:GABORIK DOWN: Oft-injured forward Marian Gaborik will be out until late November with a broken foot suffered at the World Cup, depriving the goal-hungry Kings of another offensive playmaker after Milan Lucic left for Edmonton as a free agent. At least the 34-year-old will be fresh when he returns to the lineup. Until then, the Kings hope Jeff Carter, Tyler Toffoli -- who is heading into a contract year -- and others will pick up the pace in an already top-heavy lineup.MUZZINS MOVE: Sure, Jake Muzzin watched most of the World Cup from the press box. Just making Canadas roster was an honor for the late-blooming Kings defenseman who averaged 40 points over the past two seasons. He could be ready to take another step forward in prominence on the Kings defensive corps, which still hasnt fully recovered from Slava Voynovs NHL flameout and Robyn Regehrs retirement. Muzzin will likely have to anchor a defensive pairing with newcomer Tom Gilbert or the winner of a camp competition for a final roster spot.AINT THAT A QUICK IN THE HEAD: Jonathan Quick returned from his World Cup stint with Team USA to post a shutout in his Kings preseason debut. He finished third in the Vezina Trophy voting last season, and the unorthodox veteran appears ready for another year of heavy workload. Few teams success is as tied to its goalie as the Kings with Quick -- and few goalies create as many conflicting opinions as the Conn Smythe Trophy winner.TEDDY THERE: The cap-strapped Kings closest thing to an impact addition is Teddy Purcell, the 31-year-old left wing who played 91 games for the Kings over three seasons more than a half-decade ago. He scored a career-high 43 points last season between Edmonton and Florida, and he could fit in nicely on Kopitars left wing with Brown on the other side.TANNERS TURN: The Kings would desperately love a step forward by Tanner Pearson, the 24-year-old forward who has appeared ready for stardom at times. He scored 36 points in 79 games last season, but didnt score a goal in January during an inconsistent campaign. With few blue-chip prospects ready to help the Kings, its a good time for Pearson to reach his potential.

Wholesale Vapormax 2019 . -- Anaheim Ducks captain and leading scorer Ryan Getzlaf has been scratched from Sunday nights game against the Vancouver Canucks because of an upper-body injury. ATLANTA -- Atlanta Falcons defensive end Brooks Reed, who committed a crucial fourth-quarter penalty for 12 men on the field when he failed to hustle off, owned up to a mistake that could have been costly in the Falcons 33-32 victory over the Green Bay Packers?on Sunday.I opened up my Twitter and I just had to shut it down, Reed said of the criticism he received on social media afterward. I was getting killed.Reed admitted he should have moved faster to the sideline with 6 minutes, 46 seconds left in regulation and his team holding a 26-24 lead. Packers coach Mike McCarthy challenged there were too many men on the field and won as a result of Reeds lackadaisical effort. The end result was that QB?Aaron Rodgers led the Packers to a touchdown and converted the two-point conversion, giving Green Bay a 32-26 edge.I had a feeling because when I turned around, they had called a quick play, Reed said of the Packers. I was like, Oh God. Please. No. I should have been running off the field. Simple as that. No excuse. It doesnt matter how tired I am. Its a basic thing. Youre off the field when youre coming out. We knew [Rodgers] did some of that stuff when youre exchanging personnel. Hell quick-snap it to get those calls.Its a crappy feeling, mman, when you could have cost your team the game.dddddddddddd Thats one of the worst feelings that someone could have.Reed was thankful QB?Matt Ryan and the offense pulled it out. Ryan hit Mohamed Sanu with a game-winning, 11-yard touchdown pass with 36 seconds remaining.Hes just so cool under pressure, Reed said of Ryan. He just thrives with that. He steps his game up when pressure situations come on. And hes got the weapons to throw to.Falcons coach Dan Quinn was asked about his futile attempt to call timeout before the officials picked up on Reeds error.We thought we had an opportunity to sub, and it certainly went quicker than we thought, Quinn said. I ran down the sideline to call timeout, and certainly my quickness was not up to speed.Quinn was asked about Reeds quickness.Well, neither was his, Quinn joked.Reed said he sincerely regretted the mistake.Youre just playing your butt off, and then you get something called like that? Running off the field could have cost your team the game? God, man, he said. Unbelievably bad feeling in your stomach. I was like, Now Ive got to get a game-winning sack here. ' ' '
