This week's number one movie at the box office was a little movie called Twilight: New Moon. And before you think it's a documentary about Duran Duran, it's a flick about vampires. And werewolves. And the women who love them. And not just puppy dog love, but crazy psycho love. I was at a family party Sunday, and overheard a 50+ year-old woman state that being with Taylor Lautner "would make me feel young again." Ewwwwww. That's cringe-worthy.

Not since The Lost Boys came out have I heard so much squealing over vampires. Granted, I'm sure the moody emo-kid Robert Pattinson makes for a perfect creature of the night, but a spiky, blonde mullet-sporting Keifer Sutherland would kick his ass every day and twice on Sunday. And the actress Kristin Stewart is cute and all, but come on... Jami Gertz. 'Nuff said.

The Kings lost two of their three games this past week, and they've dropped out of many Power Rankings Top 10s. Maybe they're becoming 2009's Lost Boys...

• ESPN's Power Rankings: This week 11. Last week 11.

    This team just isn't the same without Ryan Smyth. Get well soon, Captain Canada!

• TSN's Power Rankings: This week 18. Last week 12.

    The first two games without Ryan Smyth ended up in the loss column, with league-leading scorer Anze Kopitar held to one lonely assist. Key Injuries: None. (Ed. note: Here's how bright Scott Cullen is: he dopesn't even list the loss of Ryan Smyth as a key injury).

• Sportsnet's Power Rankings: This week 8. Last week 9.

    Let's see how the Kings do without leader Ryan Smyth in the lineup. (Ed. note: Huh? Up one? O.K....)

• Yahoo's Power Rankings Quarter season analysis: This week 13. Last week 11.

    Anze Kopitar may be a surprise to some, but those on the West Coast knew he was a budding superstar. The Kings have been the only threat to San Jose thus far, but their depth will be tested as the season continues.

• Fox Sports' Power Rankings: This week 17. Last week 11.

    The Kings struggles at home continued in Week 8. After closing out a five-game road trip with a win last week, L.A. returned home and lost two straight to Philadelphia and Calgary, dropping the team to 5-4-1 in its first 10 games at the Staples Center.

• The Hockey News' Power Rankings: This week 9. Last week 13.

    Failed to gain a point in their first two games without Ryan Smyth, who's out with an upper-body issue

• LATimes' Helene Elliott's Power Rankings: This week 12. Last week 8.

    Loss of Ryan Smyth (upper-body injury) resonates. They need more depth and secondary scoring and consistently sharper goaltending.

• CBSSports' Power Rankings: This week 14. Last week 10.

    Call this gut-check time for the young Kings and particularly Anze Kopitar, with veteran Ryan Smyth on the shelf for a month.

So, entering in those totals into the Hockeywood Power Numbers Tabulator and applying several mathematical equations too complicated to get into here, we come up with the Kings' Hockeywood Power Number of

13.

Now I want to go see The Lost Boys again...
