Mike Richards. Jeff Carter. Carter and Richards...Richards and Carter. That pass Mike Richards made to Carter was perfect. Backhand, in the wheelhouse. As much as I loved the pass, Jeff Carter's wrist shot is one of the best I have seen. Varlamov may not have picked up that shot until it passed him and that is saying a lot considering Carter released that shot from well above the top of the left … [Read more...]
Colorado @ Kings (Finally) – All Lappy All The Time
February 23, 2013 By
I am ionic an incisive to eye Ian. Laperriere. Lappy. Lappy loves LA and LA loves Lappy. Lightly lions lacerate ligaments compared to Lappy lighting up lamps and losers. Most popular player. Fan Favorite. Kings legend. Pregame ceremonies suck. Afternoon games suck. The combination has all the makings of an unsurprising defeat. But it's Lappy day, and Lappy lay low like lightning … [Read more...]
Kings @ Colorado – The “Let’s Hope It’s a Hockey Game” Game Thread
January 21, 2013 By
So Saturday we saw the championship banner raised, but we were deprived of seeing our first Kings hockey game. We saw something, I just wouldn't really call it hockey. I could call it several things... hilarious, depressing, spastic, but it didn't qualify as hockey anymore than several sweaty men dry humping each other qualifies as football. And that's OK (not the dry humping, either take off … [Read more...]
Give Me Bernier Or Give Sutter Botulism – Kings @ Colorado Open Forum
February 22, 2012 By
Jonathan Quick was fighting the puck last night. Meanwhile, the team actually remembered how to play with the puck. If Jonathan Bernier isn't in net tonight against the Colorado Avalanche, then perhaps we should just trade him. What the hell does it matter if you have an untested backup goalie if you never bother to test him? The Avs just dumped Kyle Quincey. This would be a good thing for us … [Read more...]
An Avalanche Of Suck – Kings Lose 3-1
January 21, 2012 By
Bobby just had to stress regulation. "We must win in regulation!" he cried in a post that saw him forget how the hockey gods work. Instead the Kings lost in regulation for just the second time under Darryl Sutter, once again managing just a single measly goal for the second consecutive game. It wasn't pretty and Jonathan Quick's only birthday surprise was 2 minutes added to his penalty record. … [Read more...]
L.A. Kings vs. Colorado Avalanche Open Forum
January 2, 2012 By
Looking Back A convincing 4-1 victory over the Vancouver Canucks has L.A. Kings fans buzzing. How do Canucks fans at or around British Columbia feel about the butt kicking they were handed? Darryl Sutter's Kings look and play like the team we expected, who many picked as a "contender." Still, there is far more work left to be done, especially on the powerplay. Tonight's Game The Colorado … [Read more...]
Bad Bounces, Bad Luck, Fate & A Good Avalanche Team Beat Kings 3-2
October 30, 2011 By
I will keep this short. Two consecutive losses can be a cause for concern. This is not. I watched this game while suffering from an upper body injury (flu). My perception could be distorted as a result. What I saw is a LA Kings team that played well. What I saw is a Kings team that was aggressive, created scoring opportunities, outshot and out chanced Colorado and potted two on the … [Read more...]
KINGS SCHOOL AVALANCHE 5-0
December 21, 2010 By
Six wins in a row. Highest scoring team in the league. Lead the league in third period goals. Haven't been shutout all season. Bang bang dance? Did I miss anything? No. Our turn. We're bigger, stronger, smarter, meaner, deeper and have superior goaltending. Exhibit 1 - scoreboard. Tonight, the Kings took a good Avalanche team, kicked Manhattan Beach sand in their face, ate their … [Read more...]
COLORADO TALKS ABOUT THE LOSS…BUT JUST BARELY
October 23, 2010 By
I must say I am disappointed and somewhat annoyed by the lack of hockey coverage for the Avalanche in Colorado. So many of these fans sites or blogs are days and sometimes weeks behind. Also, the Avalanche's official site has a post game report from...wait for it...the Associated Press. So, I picked the only two relevant sites I could find that spoke of this game. One is our friend, Adrian Dater, … [Read more...]
KINGS WIN 6-4 IN AN OLD WEST FIRE FIGHT
October 23, 2010 By
I breathed twice during this game...after the first period and after the second. The pace was fierce. The Kings and Avalanche played a wide open game, a skating game, the type the top two youngest teams in the league can play. The good...no, no, the great! Brad Richardson. His first career hat trick. Each goal was the result of hard work and a never stop skating mentality. He hustled on the … [Read more...]
KINGS @ AVALANCHE GAME PREVIEW
October 23, 2010 By
Matt Greene. You know him. You love him. Tonight, the Av's forwards will regret seeing him. Greene will play his first game of the season tonight after recovering from off-season shoulder surgery. The wrecking ball that he is, Matt has already left Jake Muzzin in his wake, knocking Muzz out of the lineup for the first time this season. We must also credit Peter Harrold, who will … [Read more...]
KINGS TAKE THE FURY TO AVALANCHE 3-2
October 2, 2010 By
What a city. What a game. What a night! Frozen Fury XIII was fast and, without shame, furious. From the moment I walked into the gauntlet, I saw my brethren in packs of thousands crowding the Studio Walk. Shop owners and employees, hotel guests, and recently married couples in tuxedos and wedding gowns on each side stood and watched with a "who the hell is this mob?" look fixed on their faces. … [Read more...]
SIN CITY MEETS SURLY, SCRIBE & YOU
September 30, 2010 By
Frozen Fury XIII is less than 48 hours away. The insanity. Over 10,000 Kings fans meet a couple of hundred die-hard Avalanche faithful who brave the desert to endure our wrath. I sympathize with the Colorado fans for what they have to suffer...no I don't, not at all. They assumed the risk the moment they bought that ticket. Our fanbase would be remiss to disappoint them, for what does a … [Read more...]
THAT FUNNY PRESEASON FEELING
September 22, 2010 By
I woke up this morning with a curious, though not unfamiliar sensation. As the night's crust congealed near the corner of my eye in morning goop, only one thought ran through my head. Perfunctory work rituals barely registered. Loosely tethered dreams quickly cut their ties for good. The rumbling in my belly echoed faint and distant. Circadian rhythm can wait. This day brings Kings … [Read more...]
