YAY DOUGHTY… I GUESS. DAMN IT

This pie tastes like crap. One of the most exciting games I have ever seen. Heart-throbbing for 67 minutes. On the bright side, time for Kings’ hockey! And all our boys are coming home safe and sound. This picture is cool… but so wrong. It needs something… This one is tolerable.

U.S.A. v. CANADA FOR THE GOLD – ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE.

Prior to the Olympic games, the International Ice Hockey Federation ranked the men’s top 3 Olympic hockey teams as Russia, Canada, and Sweden. But hockey is not played on paper and the IIHF’s experts cannot measure heart. Heart is why the Slovakian team (ranked 10th) placed 4th. Heart is why the Russians and Swedes went [...]

SO CANADA, WE MEET AGAIN

Sunday shall be a glorious day, as the USA steps on the ice for the second consecutive day of unrest against host Canada to play for the Olympic gold medal. I know this script. Read it. Liked it. Saw the theatrical release last week. Two thumbs up. As we spend the day tomorrow watching our [...]

IS IT WRONG THAT I WANTED A FIGURE SKATER TO FALL?

Just because his last name is Phaneuf? She did fall. I felt kind of bad, but not too bad. Her name is still Phaneuf, she had it coming. On a related note, I want a medal. Is 25 years old too late to start training for the Olympics? Everything seems to come back to curling. [...]

THE WINTER OLYMPICS AT LARGE

Olympic hockey has been amazing. But there is no hockey today, at least, hockey games I care about. I don’t watch the women hockey games, because, quite frankly, they remind me of the ‘games’ I desperately try to avoid that go on at Staples Center during intermissions of Kings’ games. I want to talk about [...]

IF YOU ASKED DREW…

Much has been made by some about the story of Jack Johnson not offering Doughty a ride to the Olympics on his chartered plane as well as not returning Drew’s text messages. It’s competition, when you put on that USA jersey, anyone in any other jersey is the enemy, he’s competitive, etc. I hear it. [...]

CANADA v. RUSSIA – WHO DO U.S.A. FANS WANT TO SEE WIN THIS ONE?

If you surf the web and read pre and post game discussions between US and Canada hockey fans on the Sunday preliminary round game, you would think that Americans and Canadians have been bitter enemies and in a long sustained cold war.  That is what a hockey rivalry will do – ever seen the hatred [...]

WILL GARY BETTMAN GET IT RIGHT?

The following article was written by guest writer, Howard Roark. Howard has contributed several articles to this site. He shares a love for hockey and our Los Angeles Kings second to none. He has a subtle opinion of our not so beloved commissioner as well.  Howard asks, in his own style, if a tree fell [...]

VIDEO: MATT GREENE ON BRAD MILLER TIME

Good Times.

MAKING WOMEN’S CURLING SEXIER

There is something sexy about woman’s curling. The cute outfits. The pony tails. The gentle manner in which they handle the rock. The smooth slide forward on one knee. The focused intensity and gazing eyes. The long pole and brush that they vigorously jerk back and forth in front of it. Even the yelling at [...]

VIDEO: DREW DOUGHTY MAKING HIS PRESENCE FELT.

The crowd’s reaction is a little fun.

DOUGHTY & BOYLE ALTERNATE PLAYING WITH PRONGER ON DEFENSE FOR TEAM CANADA

ESPN is doing a decent job tracking the Olympics. For the link click here. Here is a section on our own Drew Doughty. Drew Doughty and Dan Boyle took turns taking drills as Chris Pronger’s defense partner in practice Monday, leading to speculation that perhaps Doughty may not start the tournament as the seventh defenseman [...]

BRAYDEN SCHENN FIGHT v. CARTER BANCKS

A KINGS’ POEM ON THIS VALENTINES DAY

St. Valentine’s day rarely brings what we Kings fans crave the most – the love of our team. Instead, we find ourselves searching for greeting cards, buying dinners and expensive bottles of wine made from French grapes. Those we love or like more than a little and who sit across from us have come to [...]

Magic fills the air at Staples as Kings shutout Avs 3-0

Something happened tonight that Kings’ fans haven’t seen in a long time. A win? In years past, such an answer would be acceptable.  However, tonight was different.  This season has been different. This writer, in particular, has felt a certain magic that has been absent from the Los Angeles Kings since the glory days of [...]

PATRICK O’NEAL IS A MORON

First, he states during the intermission (after going over Heidi Androl’s busy schedule) that if you have money, Heidi is willing to work, which of course implies Heidi is whoring for work. Then, during a post game interview with Kopitar (with Jim Fox in the middle chair), he tells Kopitar not to get into any [...]

RICHARD CLUNE!

Two assists. All over the ice. Hitting everything that moves. Kicking McLeod’s ass. Forgive me for doubting you. GO KINGS!

RANDOM MUSINGS BEFORE THE PUCK DROPS AGAINST COLORADO

I hear Murray is happy with Clune’s play. He’s just what we needed. A player whose “contribution level” divided into “anticipated detriment” = zero. A competent irrelevant. That should help the special teams. Does someone keep track of which team leads the league in shots that miss the net? I would pay money to see [...]
