Matt Greene, folks. Matt motherfucking Greene. The guy who, two years ago, many complained about for the exact same reasons they now complain about Robyn Regehr, has overwhelmed the fandom with brutality and a toughness only Rob Scuderi can match, making them all but forget about his poor foot speed and average passing. I don't believe its been confirmed that he is playing tonight, but it looks … [Read more...]
Home Again and Ready for a Ruckus – BJs @ Kings
February 15, 2013 By
I hope you all had a shitty Valentine's Day. I mean that, in the nicest way possible. I hope it was depressing and filled with regret. It would tickle me the appropriate pink if the rose you bought wasn't red enough, the words in the sappy card rang false and that the chocolates you ate gave you both diarrhea. Maybe if you spent your Valentine's Day bitter and pissing out of your rear end … [Read more...]
Kings @ Columbus – For The Sake Of It
February 5, 2013 By
Just win. For Scribe's sake. He's panicking. For Dean's sake. His trade position worsens by the loss. For Jack's sake. One more smug smile from him and his face may get stuck that way. For Carter's sake. He hates Columbus so. For Fuck's sake. Richards shouldn't be allowed to get laid until he scores. If only. Motivation is everything. Just win. GO KINGS … [Read more...]

L.A. Kings & Jeff Carter. A Match Made In…
January 31, 2012 By
The Jeff Carter saga has been an interesting one in Columbus. After he signed a long-term, cap friendly, career contract with the team that drafted him in 2003, 11th overall, he was shown little brotherly love from the Philadelphia Flyers. In that respect, his career path has paralleled that of his friend and fellow former Flyer, Mike Richards, although the latter, as we know, had the good … [Read more...]
Clitsome Scores, Kings Don’t. A Ballad
January 7, 2012 By
I'm disgusted. That last powerplay should be considered Jamie Kompon's exit interview. Sutter wouldn't even let him talk to the players during the time out. But anyways, I'm too upset to think or write rationally, so instead here's a song. Now you have to sing this in your head like Frank Sinatra doing a ballad. *** When your girlfriend sighs in bed, Clitsome. When she goes to sleep … [Read more...]
L.A. Kings vs. Columbus Blue Jackets: A Saturday Afternoon BJ…
January 7, 2012 By
The last time we met Columbus, they offered up a BJ at just the right time. We had lost 5 in a row, depression had set in, our boys were flaccid and we needed a win. That was then... Today, we come in confident, riding the Darryl Sutter wave of hugs, motivation & good cheer all around. The players are having fun. The fans are happy. Everyone is excited about the team's expected inevitable … [Read more...]
Kings In Columbus – Battle of the Suck
December 15, 2011 By
We suck. They suck. Someone will come out sucking a little less this night. Of the last 2 Kings games I have only seen the third period of the one against Dallas. I've been busy. Don't judge me, save it for someone who deserves it, like people who are snobs about the foam in their lattes. My point is that just like I don't need to actually speak to the guy in front of me at Coffee Bean to … [Read more...]
St. Louis Blues Fire Davis Payne & Hire Ken Hitchcock
November 6, 2011 By
Davis Payne has only been the Blues' coach since January of 2010. Payne replaced former LA Kings coach, Andy Murray. The Blues had 6 wins and 7 losses in 13 games. They have missed the playoffs the past two seasons. Who is probably most surprised by this move? The Columbus Blue Jackets. Can you say $%^#&*!! … [Read more...]
JEFF CARTER TRADED TO COLUMBUS BLUE JACKETS
June 23, 2011 By
Cross Jeff Carter off your wish list. Reports are coming in from the reliable types that Jeff Carter has been traded from the Philadelphia Flyers to the Columbus Blue Jackets. The Flyers will apparently receive Jakub Voracek, plus a first (which I believe is a top 10 pick) and third round pick. Voracek is no slouch. A 2007 1st round draft pick, right wing, good size at 6'1" and 205 pounds. … [Read more...]
WESTGARTH IN, RICHARDSON OUT, KISS MY GRITS
March 11, 2011 By
If you haven't heard, Terry Murray believes the Columbus Blue Jackets are a gritty team. Gritty. As in full of grit. What is grit? Richie played well. I liked his game in Detroit, and we moved him up, in the latter part of the game, to be able to shut that game down. He did a good job for us. We need Westgarth’s presence. They’ve got a gritty lineup, and I just think that it’s … [Read more...]
GO KINGS GO IN OHIO – A SING SONG COLUMBUS VS KINGS GAME PREVIEW
February 16, 2011 By
If you don't already know the tune, A) Shame on you and B) listen to the video while reading/singing along with the adjusted lyrics below. Six skaters and playoffs comin'. We're finally on our own. This game I hear the drummin'. Go Kings Go in Ohio. Kings get down to it. Four point games are coming around. Should have been won long ago. What if you lose them and Find you dead in … [Read more...]
TONIGHT, IT’S A WIN OR ELSE
January 8, 2011 By
The Blue Jackets lost 6-0 last night to Anaheim. They are 1-8-2 on the road and 6-12-3 overall since November 24. Their highest paid defenseman, the 31 year old and very big 6'4", 233 pound Mike Commodore, has lashed out against first year coach, Scott Arniel, for sitting him in numerous consecutive games. Commodore was waived, cleared waivers and hello re-entry waivers or an assignment to the … [Read more...]
KINGS VS COLUMBUS BLUE JACKETS GAME PREVIEW
November 17, 2010 By
Can you say bounce back game? I'll do you one better and believe it. The Los Angeles Kings look to recover from a rather brutal loss to the San Jose Sharks and regain their confidence. If they don't, tonight could see them slip into their first losing streak of the season. Screw all that noise. As Bobby poetically put it to me late Monday night, the Columbus Blue Jackets will be that … [Read more...]
FOR THE SAKE OF PERSPECTIVE
October 19, 2009 By
I know this is old news now, but I read too many scathing remarks about Justin Williams and his apparent sole responsibility in giving up the short handed goal to Rick Nash against the Columbus Blue Jackets the other day. Take a look at this video. Notice that Smyth makes the wrong play along the boards at the first freeze frame, choosing to try and control the puck as well as stop up to … [Read more...]
BLUE JACKETS STING KINGS
October 17, 2009 By
A few days ago Dustin Brown was being hammered for not scoring any goals. Then he finally got one against Detroit. All of a sudden he is the offense. The Los Angeles Kings tested fan loyalty tonight with a sickly 4-1 loss against the Columbus Blue Jackets. Nearly a carbon copy of the effort against the Red Wings, the Kings played a strong first period and then got scared and flat-lined as … [Read more...]
