I surmise that Bobby didn't watch the game, or at the least is disinterested in recalling it. He definitely wasn't there. We've had this nice thing where I write the pregames, he writes the post games, and its worked out for the most part. But I suppose we weren't the only ones who decided not to follow a winning formula tonight. I only caught the final 24 minutes of this one, work delays at … [Read more...]
Dallas @ Kings
March 7, 2013 By
Ironically fitting that we play the Stars one night after that game against the Blues. Having missed the tumultuous Tuesday affair, the most exciting non- "one where we lifted the Cup" game I attended was against the Dallas Stars a few years back. The one where the Kings came back from a four goal deficit in the third period to win in OT, scoring five goals in five minutes and six goals in seven. … [Read more...]
Cliffy Said Knock You Out, Kings Gonna Knock You Out…
March 6, 2013 By
Surly missed this game... Hold on, he's reading this and I want that to sink in. Surly Missed This Game Boy, he's pissed off right now. Because he missed this game. Holy shit, what a game! Three fights in the first period, Kyle Clifford's knock out uppercut of Roman Polak (who is, in his own right, one tough nut), three absurd goals against Bernier none of which were his … [Read more...]
St. Louis @ Kings – Back To Business
March 5, 2013 By
I mean that in two ways. The Kings hopped right back to the business of winning after losing to Vancouver and I had to go back to business, where I will remain, instead of getting to watch the game tonight. I also forgot to set my DVR, the fiancé is out of the country, so I'm totally screwed here unless I can get home in time to record the replay on FSN, which is far from a guarantee. Anyhoo, … [Read more...]
Sound Tigers @ Monarchs – Hump Day in the Jungle
March 5, 2013 By
As far as Monarchs hockey goes, this past weekend can be described in three words; smorgasbord of awesome. Two games played, two wins (one shootout and one regulation), four points, all in front of the IceCaps’ home crowd in the great white north. I would have been happy seeing the guys come away with a 1-1 split, but 2-0 domination? We’ll take it! So Wednesday night will kick off the … [Read more...]
Nashville @ Kings
March 4, 2013 By
I think I may be over the rhyming. Partly because we lost to Vancouver and partly because I watched this movie about Alfred Hitchcock last night and he told a lot of limericks in a profoundly creepy manner. Lots of hostility in that last thread. I'd like to take it as a compliment, but I know it was merely motivated by how much you all despise the Canucks. Watching them win is an offense to … [Read more...]
Kings @ Canucks – Six For Six
March 2, 2013 By
There are a few teams that you hate, While the Kings you'd like to felate The Canucks we despise, Like a woman's white lies But both end up harmless to those who will wait. If a Sedin sat and stared at the stars, Showing sad freckles that look more like SARS Well I'd just walk right up, And say 'look here's my Cup' 'No you can't touch it you mongoloid fuckwit, it ours.' But then ol' Ryan Kesler … [Read more...]
What? Uh Oh. Ha! Just another Darryl Sutter Presser
March 1, 2013 By
On players’ generally improved nutritional habits in the modern game: “I think probably it’s an overview. Most of them are like that. You guys are just as familiar as some of our young guys, guys who have struggled before I was here, and they’ve struggled while I was here, and most fit in as that. Hey, it was the biggest issue I had seen last year with our club. It wasn’t anything other … [Read more...]
Surly and Scribe’s L.A. Kings Podcast for 2/28/13…We’re Back!
March 1, 2013 By
It's been so long, I think Timmy's hymen was restored. On this nearly 45 minute podcast, we chat about the five game winning streak and the 5 games ahead, Doughty vs. Voynov, the Bernier and Quick rotation, Kopitar making Jimmy Howard and the Wings' defense his bitch, dicks and my inability to remember the movie Superbad and that hilarious part about him drawing dicks and then not being able to … [Read more...]
Monarchs @ IceCaps – Frozen Wasteland Boogaloo
February 28, 2013 By
First things first, congrats to our Kings for winning five straight! I was tuned in to the game last night against the Red Wings, and I’m pretty sure I giggled when Kopi played Howard like a fiddle. You can’t give Anze that amount of time and space. He will rock your world. That move kinda rocked mine, too. Not gonna lie. So this past weekend, the Monarchs managed to come away with two … [Read more...]
Jon Rosen Joins the Kopitarian Faith. Let Us Pray…
February 27, 2013 By
Jon Rosen called Anze Kopitar's (pbuh) move tonight against the Red Wings, "Kopitarian." While every move by the Great 11 is Kopitarian, we believe Jon's spontaneous use of the word clearly expresses his intent to join the faith I started during Kopitar's (pbuh) rookie year. Since then, the religion has grown and flourishes with disciples all over the world. I remain its humble founder … [Read more...]
High Five…In a Row. Kings Beat Wings 2-1
February 27, 2013 By
Couldn't get to the game tonight. Surly needed my help. Apparently our section was infested with Red Wings fans. I let him down. Picking up the game at the start of the second period, I asked fellow fans how the first frame went... Hmmm. Not great. Wait, there's more... There you have it. I then offered... Of course, the L.A Kings sudden stellar play didn't have to do … [Read more...]
Red Wings @ Kings – Like A Bomb
February 27, 2013 By
A win tonight will put the Kings in the top eight in the West and the Red Wings out of it. While the standings are largely nebulous at this point in the season, the Kings playoff spot has mostly been deferred this young season. What happens to a team deferred? Does it give up Like a contractor in Detroit? Or pester like TooToo-- Just praying for a fight? Does it stink like Bertuzzi? Or bend … [Read more...]
Gagne Go Bye-Bye
February 26, 2013 By
Per your source of choice, Simon Gagne is a Philadelphia Flyer once more. The Kings get a conditional pick in return. The Kings get a fourth round pick (one that previously belonged to Phoenix) if the Flyers miss the playoffs. If they make the playoffs, the Kings get Philly's third rounder. Despite some fantastic play from our old friends Brayden Schenn, who is having a breakout year much to … [Read more...]
Not So Fasth, Meatball. Kings Light up Ducks 5-2.
February 26, 2013 By
As hard as the zebras tried to give the Ducks an edge in this game, the Kings said no. First, a phantom tripping penalty against Dustin Brown and later a similar garbage call against Dwight King, the Kings gave up one powerplay goal out of those two. As far as I am concerned, this was a 5-1 victory. How's your head, Souray? Your face? How many blows did he take from our young stud, Jordan … [Read more...]
Ducks @ Kings – A Sonnet for the Sucks
February 25, 2013 By
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Though art hot, and also temporary: Rough stuff may shake those who tempt Souray, But your lease on wins dies with contract of Perry: Sometimes too hot does the scalp of your coach glow, And oft is his pasty complexion reddened; And every coach at times swears like Boudreau, But like a blimp they are not all fattened: But thy eternal filth shall never … [Read more...]
An Open Letter to the New Insider, Jon Rosen
February 24, 2013 By
Dear Jon I have never written a dear John letter, or, in this case, a dear Jon letter. I was recently critical of Insider's direction for what I believed was you picking up Insider where Rich Hammond left it off and not propelling it forward. In the past two weeks, I have noticed two things - (1) your writing is improving and (2) your coverage of the team outside of the media scrum is too. … [Read more...]
Monarchs @ Pirates – Send Shivers Down My Timber
February 24, 2013 By
For 9 to 5’ers, Sunday is easily the second most depressing day of the week. Monday of course being the first. Do you know how you make that suck more? Try about a foot of wet and sticky snow. A foot of wet, sticky snow after getting almost two feet of light fluffy snow only a week or two prior. How do you make this better? Two words: Monarchs hockey. A 3-2 victory last night -- their … [Read more...]
Last Chance For Two Replica Rings (And They’re FREE!)
February 23, 2013 By
After having mailed out, I think, 16 Stanley Cup replica championship rings to deserving fans all over the country and several north of the border, there are two left. I was about to email the next people on my list who wanted to pay the $40 for a ring, when I received an email from Jared. Jared bought both rings. That asshole. But he didn't buy them for himself. He bought them for … [Read more...]
