Flame Retard…ant. Lucky Number 6

6 games and a Stanley Cup. 6 to 1 in game 6. Twice reaching 6 goals this season. Jake Muzzin scored a nice goal tonight. Kid has a snap shot, eh? Hey, what number does he wear? That's right. 6. When he scores again, he will have...6 goals. Slava Voynov was a beast. His offensive contributions from the blue line have been Drew Doughty like...back when Drew was racking up the points. … [Read more...]

Fuck…

Wife reminded me at the end of this game that I unintentionally broke tradition, one established last season. Before every Kings vs. Ducks, we dined at our favorite restaurant and I always ordered the duck...this time, we had guests and I forgot. Fuck. From that moment forward, everything sucked. Accident on the 57 freeway, backed up traffic, we were late to the game. My condolences  to … [Read more...]

2012 Free Agency for the 2012 Stanley Cup Champions

Fellow puck fanatics, I am Andrew Elkins. I am an English Major at the University of Wisconsin, a hockey player, an impassioned supporter of our 2012 Stanley Cup Champions and a new blogger for Surly&Scribe. Thanks for the welcome. It's a pleasure to be here. Forgive me if I gloss over the pleasantries, but I thought I'd jump right in. Now that we have squandered several hours of our lives … [Read more...]

Kings Slay The Senators 4-1

Ass in face. That is the goal of every forward, especially the wings, when the Kings have the puck and are shooting from the point. Ass in the goalie's face to be specific. On the first line, that is Dustin Brown. On the second, Dustin Penner. On the third, Brad Richardson. On the fourth, tonight, it was a rotation of all three forwards in Kevin Westgarth, Colin Fraser & Kyle … [Read more...]

L.A. Kings’ Russian Invasion

Good things come in threes. The Kings score a bunch of goals. Andrei Loktionov gets called up. And now, most likely, Slava Voynov will be back. Unfortunately, when they say good things come in threes, they neglect to mention that for every yin there is a yang. Penner is hurt. He may be under-performing, but we don't go so far as to wish ill on anyone... OK, well maybe a quick bout … [Read more...]

A Shortcut To Thinking Is Not Thinking

Since there is some friction from certain media types (or, more accurately, one) about our Drew Doughty news and since this comes from someone who I respected (and still do) but who has probably never read the site, let's get a few things straight: A deal in principle (having handled hundreds before they came to fruition or needed further tweaking, which I am not sure this person can say for … [Read more...]

Dean Lombardi Is Pissed Off…Steve Tambellini Is A Prick, Part III

For Part I, click Steve Tambellini is a prick. For Part II, click Steve Tambellini is a prick, II. Now, for Part III. This part will include the Lombardi Translator 2011 upgrade version courtesy of...moi...This is from Helene Elliott's article. Kings General Manager Dean Lombardi, contending the Edmonton Oilers have twice traded him players who are not able to play, said Friday he will … [Read more...]

COLIN FRASER INJURED; TAMBELLINI IS A PRICK II

As a sequel to Steve Tambellini is a Prick, Part I, we bring you the sequel co-starring Colin Fraser. Colin Fraser, acquired by the LA Kings in the Ryan Smyth does his impression of Lassie and runs home trade, has an injury that will keep him out of the lineup...for the first two months of the season. The injury is allegedly more serious than just the inherent psychological defect associated … [Read more...]

OFFICIAL: RYAN SMYTH TRADE COMPLETE & TAMBELLINI STILL SUCKS

It's all over but the crying. Helene Elliott reports that the Ryan Smyth trade is finally complete. He went to the Oilers like he wanted and the Kings received Colin Fraser and a 7th round pick in 2012. I shut down on this trade after I heard (and read) about Steve Tambellini's antics - there is a job as a snake oil salesman waiting for him if the whole NHL GM thing doesn't work out. Who cares, … [Read more...]
