No Time For Day Dreaming For This L.A. Kings Fan
May 19, 2012 By 3 Comments
In quiet moments, I find myself day dreaming about the team. Each one has the same theme. I am sure you can guess what that is. I immediately interrupt my thoughts, become angry at my wandering mind and refocus. I am at my most efficient with a scowl. Those of you who read our site’s [...]

A Team Of Work Ethic. Kings Take 3-0 Series Lead Over Coyotes
May 17, 2012 By 48 Comments
Dennis Bernstein asked Darryl Sutter whether the LA Kings were a team of destiny. Sutter responded, “what’s destiny?” It’s a simple and honest answer from an honest coach. Hard work, smart reads, simple plays, an honest game where our Kings, his Kings, engage in a relentless attack that comes with an aggressive forecheck and bodies [...]
L.A. Kings Euthanize Coyotes 4-0 And Expose Its Players For What They Are – Vermin
May 15, 2012 By 58 Comments
Suggested questions for Dave Tippet at the press conference: At some point, did you consider calling a timeout when your team started to completely self destruct? Would you consider the level of integrity left in the room after this game to be slim or none? Do you remember the exact moment in this game that [...]
Kings Earn Game One Victory 4-2 Over The Coyotes
May 13, 2012 By 78 Comments
The media will use “road warriors” and similar words to describe our dominance to date in the 2012 Stanley Cup Playoffs. And why not? We have earned it, right? We have, but beyond our road record, I share a more macro sized foundation for my enthusiasm. We have gotten progressively better in each series and [...]
Leaving On A Jet Plane…To Support Our L.A. Kings
May 12, 2012 By 20 Comments
It was on. Then off. Then damn. Then fuck. Then the scheduled commitment for Monday morning in Van Nuys miraculously got moved. I had little to do with said fortune but a quiet fist pump and a whispered hell yeah caused me to call Surly with a “I’m in!” He took care of the rest [...]

Jinx vs. Hockey Gods – The Definitive Article Of Faith
May 8, 2012 By 33 Comments
As my brothers and sisters of puck watch our L.A. Kings achieve success in the post season and as we walk together to the Western Conference Finals, some false precepts have spun their way into our fans’ collective minds, have caused and continue to cause unnecessary distraction and, if not addressed, may cause crippling incertitude. [...]
Surly & Scribe L.A. Kings Podcast Show – To The Western Conference Finals
May 7, 2012 By 36 Comments
An edgy and angry Timmy Love replaces the squeaky toy. Surly gets shit for yoga, yogurt and tea…and a cat’s ass. I lament the lost opportunity with Carrie Underwood. Most of all, we talk L.A. Kings hockey, how we got here and the coming Western Conference Finals as we learn during the show that we [...]
Would Murray’s Name Go On The Cup? (Poll Added)
May 7, 2012 By 67 Comments
First of all, a few quick housekeeping items. Yes, it’s too early to decide, and early to talk about it as if it happened, and the Kings aren’t even in the Finals yet, but if we are gonna sit around and hope to win the thing it is perfectly reasonable to imagine doing just that. [...]
Kings Beat Blues 5-2, Win 2 & Will Come Home For 2: It Started With A Fight
April 30, 2012 By 73 Comments
About 30 seconds before the gloves dropped, I leaned over to the wife and said, “Kong and Crombeen are going to go.” She asked me how I knew. Crombeen said it, Kong nodded. They set up toward each other during the faceoff, one foot forward and the other back. My 4-year-old would have yelled “fight!” [...]

One of our readers, Ken, attended the game and shared his perspective. He included some photos. I am a Southern California boy living in Omaha, Nebraska while attending law school (just about finished, just one final to go!). Since Omaha is about a 6 hour drive to St. Louis, a fellow law student/puckhead and I [...]
Video: The Two Minute Minor Against Dwight King For Boarding Was The Right Call
April 28, 2012 By 21 Comments
My first thought was that it should have been a double minor. Then, someone pointed out that boarding cannot be a double minor. I looked up the rule. 41.1 Boarding – A boarding penalty shall be imposed on any player or goalkeeper who checks or pushes a defenseless opponent in such a manner that causes the opponent [...]

I stayed off Twitter today. I stayed away from the house during the first period. Instead, I hit a local bar and the tightly packed bartender, Talena, put on the game for me with a smile. It was admittedly odd watching it with the sound off but I enjoyed it because the C- commentary by [...]

Those Sweet Talking Blues Are Trying To Fuck Us
April 24, 2012 By 36 Comments
Before I met my wife, I was a bit of a player – as I write that, I have no idea if the word “player” is still the word for a guy who got laid – which is to say I got laid a lot. No relationships. No commitment. Just fun. I loved women and [...]
