On The Bright Side I Get To Wear New Pants

It is not often that I leave Staples Center after a loss reasonably content.  Bobby was livid, but that was truly all that bogus ‘calm’ he spoke of embodying coming back to bite him.  He now knows better than to feign tranquility during a playoff series. I am disappointed the Los Angeles Kings did not [...]

Vancouver Canucks @ LA Kings Round 1 Game 4 Open Forum – Spring Cleaning

The weather is starting to turn and brings Kings’ tides and fortunes along for the ride. There is only one word on everyone’s mind and this time it’s not an order to the maid: Sweep. Sweep the Vancouver Canucks off our ice. Sweep the Sedins back to Sweden for the summer. Sweep Ryan Kesler’s feet [...]

Kings Fans, I Love You

Vancouver Canucks @ LA Kings Round 1 Game 3 Open Forum – Homecoming

I don’t have much to say. I think I said too much last night. I plan to say more tonight. Well… Maybe say is the wrong term. Yell. Bellow. Scream. Twist? It could happen. Shout. Definitely. The Kings have a golden opportunity tonight, one they have not had in ages, to take a 3-0 lead [...]

We Demand Davis Gaines

I meant to do this last week but it got lost in the shuffle. It is not too late to make our voices heard. If you have every heard Davis Gaines sing the National Anthem at Staples Center, then you know, there is no one better that we have at our disposal. Lorelei Cinco comes [...]

LA Kings @ Vancouver Canucks Round 1 Game 2 Open Forum: Shame Imposition

It’s another day. A rainy, miserable day. But this thunder and lightning that beats at my door pales and trembles at the flash and the bang that crashes through my heart. Roars echo, cascading off living room walls and bar urinal stalls as the LA Kings take playoff ice once again in Vancouver. Tonight, the [...]

Russians, Dogs & Bitches

I woke up this morning with a big smile. I high-fived several people at work. Then I scowled. Brendan Shanahan proved himself a bitch, scared of taking out a star player after 1 playoff game when he fined Shea Weber only $2500 for treating Henrik Zetterberg’s head like a gorilla trying to open a coconut. [...]

LA Kings @ Vancouver Canucks Round 1 Game 1 – Open Forum – Playoffs Be Fuckin’ On!

Here we go boys and girls. From their sticks to our voices to their ears, the LA Kings playoffs are about to be underway. Jeff Carter will join them. Daniel Sedin will not. Nor will I. As I will be working, I rely on you for the play by play. We will set the tempo. [...]

Canucks and Kings Seasons Do Not Matter As The Past Is History

If the regular season is a grind, then the playoffs are a purée. Does that make any sense? Some. But not enough for you to think about it too hard. They are just words. The Vancouver Canucks Presidents Trophy makes some sense too. But it isn’t meaningful enough for you to get your neurons all [...]

Top 10 Things JT Dutch Will Do If Quick Wins The Vezina

The following list was written last Wednesday in a fun attempt to draw reader JT Dutch out from the shadows in which he had lurked for about a week or two. We love JT (in that Mr. Wilson to Dennis the Menace kind of way) and this place always gets a little duller when he [...]

LA Kings vs SJ Sharks Open Forum – It’s Now Time

Tonight, everything is on the line. After tonight, the next time you walk into Staples Center, the line will be crossed. The San Jose Sharks are here and with them they bring our clinching of a playoff spot. Tonight defines writing your own ticket. With a single point we can ensure that our slate is [...]

Surly & Scribe Show Podcast Poll

It’s early in the game, but I am curious to take your temperature on our podcasts. I’ve enjoyed doing them, and I know Bobby has to, but I’m not really sure if you’ve enjoyed listening. Bobby thinks its great, but Bobby thinks everything Bobby does is great. I think it’s amusing to, but I also [...]

Kings Shutout Oilers: Just Enjoy

No post game. We are one step closer to the playoffs. One step closer to the division title. One step closer to having as good of a chance as anyone to win a cup. Just enjoy. And get ready for San Jose. Fuck San Jose. Go Kings. Oh, and as promised…

And So The Last Homestand Of The Regular Season Begins: Open Forum

Well my friends, it’s been a fun ride, this regular season. There are only two times where we will attend Staples Center this year and still possibly leave with our larynx intact. After this Thursday, the next time we visit Staples it will be not with our game faces, but with our murder faces. Did [...]

Source: Dustin Penner Close To Signing Two Year, $7MM Deal

Yup. What the fuck, right? That familiar old term of contention, deal in principle, applies to this situation, but only in so far as the papers haven’t been processed. We heard about this last night but hesitated in posting it out of a) disbelief and b) disgust. Ultimately that disgust churned itself into ire and [...]

Kings Blow 3rd Period Lead, Lose In Shootout

I take little consolation in a consolation point. All points are precious though and while 1 is better than none, the fact that we don’t have 2 when we went into the 3rd period with a lead chafes me. I don’t care that Bernier isn’t a very good shootout goalie. I don’t care that he [...]

LA Kings @ Edmonton Oilers Open Forum: Put Up No Shut Up

The Edmonton Oilers suck. Though winning should be relatively easy, this game must not be taken lightly. Jeff Carter is out, his ankle propped up on the breasts of some bimbo, trickling blood to all the wrong places. While he rests, the Kings are afforded no such luxury. As far as I’m concerned, we are [...]

LA Kings @ Calgary Flames Open Forum: Need It Be Said?

Leaders must lead. It must not always be with words. If Dustin Brown is the captain of this team, then his face must tell a tale that his shoulder knows well. If Mike Richards is a born locker room leader, then his eyes must betray his heart, pulsing on his sleeve. If this team is [...]

Fe Fi Fo None – Canucks Shutout Kings

I’m just going to get it out of the way; the officiating did not decide the game tonight, but holy shit was it awful. Next time the Kings play with this nitwit young referee whose name I don’t want to give the credit of looking up and committing to memory, I’d like Kyle Clifford to [...]

Bye Bye Win Streak: Bruins Beats Kings 4-2

Stupidity ruled the day as the Kings twice mimicked the lack of intelligence exhibited by the hoards of Bruin fans with terrible goals against in what amounted to the conclusion of a 6 game winning streak. Between Drew Doughty making two bone head lazy passes within 3 seconds of each other and giving up the [...]
