A Post Game Worthy of the LA Kings Effort v. Stars
L.A. Kings Dominate, Lose 4-3 in Shootout…Plus Bonus Shootout Options for Other Sports
In baseball, they should have a home run contest after the 9th inning. In golf, if the players are tied at the end of the match...long drive or closest to the pin! In basketball, free-throws of course. In football...shit, I don't know, they stand around for 2 hours and 45 minutes of a 3 hour game so a staring contest? In soccer, penalty kick (the European version would be a gun fight … [Read more...]
Kings vs. Oilers Open Forum. Prediction…”Pain”
Robyn Regehr doesn't care for Ales Hemsky. I don't care for Ales Hemsky. You don't like him either. Know what all of that means? Nothing. Because this isn't about Regehr's grudge against Hemsky. It's about 2 points and a W for our L.A. Kings. I want the Oilers battered, bruised, and beaten. I want them screaming no mas in Canadian. I want them begging us to not run up the score. … [Read more...]
Pirates @ Monarchs – A Friday Final
As I wait for the Monarchs matchup with the Pirates to get underway, two things are clear to me. First, Bruce Springsteen is still the boss (possibly biased by pregame music over the PA) and second, the Monarchs need to bring their A-game tonight. Tonight's game against the Pirates is the 12th and final game in the inaugural VIP Cup Series. The series stands 6-5 with the Pirates holding a one … [Read more...]
The State of Ha Ha. Kings Shut the Wild Up 3-0
The State of Hockey, eh? That is a catchy line if I actually gave a damn but on this night, I did not. We owed these bastards this shutout. They had no business beating us in a shootout the last time we played them and, as the expression goes, revenge is a dish best served cold. Guess what kids. It's pretty damn cold on the ice. Team defense was very different than that sloppy, messy, whatever … [Read more...]
Davis, We Hardly Knew You
Per Darren Dreger, Davis Drewiske will wear a Montreal Canadiens uniform... in practice... maybe in a game. Kings sent the good old boy to the Habs for a 5th round pick in the 2013 Draft. Kind of a bummer, I've always been a big fan of Drewiske. Or, atleast as big a fan as you can be of someone who never plays. Drewiske will be remembered for his solid defensive play, sportsmanship, … [Read more...]
New L.A. Kings Defensive Pairings?
Jake Muzzin – Drew Doughty Rob Scuderi – Slava Voynov Keaton Ellerby – Alec Martinez Scratches are Drewiske, Regehr. Discuss. Oh and congratulations to Jake Muzzin, the NHL's rookie of the month for March. 4 goals, 11 points and a + 10 in 17 games. … [Read more...]
Unpopular Opinions About Regehr, Toffoli, Penner and Other Shit That May Piss You Off
"Warrior". We have used it in the past and I openly affixed it to Willie Mitchell before we first signed him and demanded we do so. Robyn Regehr...yeah, it's not coming to me. Look, I didn't start following hockey 4 years ago. It's been 3 decades. So go fuck yourself with the "but he's exactly what we need", "he's a defensive defenseman", "Greene and Mitchell are out", "my pussy hurts", I know … [Read more...]
Buffalo Has Too Many Girly Names on Team, Trades Robyn Regehr to Kings
Robyn Regehr is an LA King, or so the twitterverse would have us believe. The trade has yet to be made official Jon Rosen confirms, its official, but word is the Kings are sending two 2nd round picks to the Buffalo Sabres for the war torn defensemen. If you don't know much about Regehr, well then you're a bandwagon fan and need to do some homework. We don't believe in homework, nor are we … [Read more...]
Kari Lehtonen Isn’t Jesus…Kings Beat Stars 3-2
"Breathe"... "Breathe", I reminded myself. With 5 minutes left, I stopped listening. I am writing this post game on my way to heaven... I don't use the word dominate too often but that is exactly what we did to the Stars for the first 30 minutes. Give the Dallas Stars credit though. After Justin William's goal, they could have packed it in but they forechecked with three forwards and … [Read more...]
An L.A. Kings Easter Prayer
In the name of the Forwards, Defense and Holy Goalie, Go Kings. Thank you for bringing the die-hards here today to gather and give thanks for all that we have and are, Go Kings Give us unending passion to cheer and chant our love for our Stanley Cup Champions, Go Kings Give our forwards the deft touch of goals and assists and bless them with all that is Selke, Go Kings The Hockey Gods watch … [Read more...]
Wild Get Gift of Quick & Shitty Officiating for 4-3 Shootout Win
One part a scrambling, flopping, out of position Jonathan Quick and two parts of shitty typical NHL officiating and you get a 4-3 L.A. Kings shootout loss. I want to give the Minnesota Wild credit but I really can't. Quick was subpar 65 minutes and shades of Jason LaBarbera in the shootout...remember when Quickie ruled the shootout? Maybe I dreamed it. I am not even sure Jonathan Quick got any … [Read more...]
Monarchs Marching Into April
Three games. Two wins. Four of six possible points. That is the big picture of the Monarchs’ past three games; two over the weekend and one earlier this (Wednesday) evening. The first game was a hard fought 6-4 win against the Hershey Bears at home on Saturday night, a disappointing 4-3 loss at home on Sunday against the St. John’s IceCaps, and a 3-1 victory tonight against the Worcester … [Read more...]
Only Six Days Left for a Free Replica Ring
The Stanley Cup replica ring contest ends at midnight on March 31st. I've received many good entries, but nothing that can't be topped, so come on folks and get those pictures, videos, musings or whatever the hell you want out to my email. If you need a refresher on the rules and details, they can be found in the original contest listing here. Winners will be announced shortly after the … [Read more...]
Losing Our Collective Shit – L.A. Kings Beat Blackhawks 5-4…and We Have Videos!
A real goaltending battle, eh? If Jonathan Quick made a big save, I missed it. If Corey Crawford didn't make a few big ones, we would have scored a snowman. Hockey Gods bless Johnny Oduya's perfectly shaped for a deflection, hard head. Kopitar, Stoll, King, Toffoli and Brown. On Stoll's goal, credit Slava Voynov for skating like the wind and giving Stoll the left side option which divided … [Read more...]
Kings @ Chicago – Why All The Goyem?
There are really no Jews in the NHL. I think Matthieu Schneider was Jewish, and I think Noah Clarke, but he barely counts. It's a shame, I know plenty of Israeli's who play hockey in high school, and Israeli's tend to be Jews. It's only a matter of time before a handful of them make it into the NHL. Hell, we've got a Slovenian and an Eskimo, we can gets us a Jew or six, maybe even a … [Read more...]
Jarome Iginla Wants Us. Ménage à Trois Anyone?
So, there's this report that Jarome Iginla has placed the L.A. Kings on his list of 4 teams to which he would accept a trade. The teams are Boston, Los Angeles, Pittsburgh and Chicago. Cross out Pittsburgh as they just landed Brenden Morrow. This got me thinking. Dean Lombardi has gone kinky before, right? The Justin Williams trade...why do I feel like there was another? Three-way trades … [Read more...]
Shut Up About Iginla Already. Dean Isn’t Insane…But You May Be
Iginla this, Iginla that. It's nearly as absurd as the Gaborik trade rumors I have heard. Actually, it's not even close to the Gaborik ones but it is still nonsense. For those who want to see him as an L.A. King, what exactly do you see going the other way? Can he command a 1st round draft pick from a contender? Yes, a stupid one. I think twice before I give up a 2nd for him. I know he's … [Read more...]
