Man that Bobby Scribe is so fucking depressing. Oh wait, it's so sutting depressing, right? Maybe so fucking sutting fits best. All this sutting Sutter shit is gonna give me a stutter. Anyways, I take a few days off to collect my thoughts and get in the holiday spirit and I come back to a stream of malaise and doldrums bordering on the suicidal. From existential crises to forlornness aligned … [Read more...]

A Culture Of Winning
December 18, 2011 By Bobby Scribe
"Winning is not a sometime thing; it's an all time thing. You don't win once in a while, you don't do things right once in a while, you do them right all the time. Winning is habit. Unfortunately, so is losing." - Vince Lombardi Good words. At no time during the L.A. Kings' 40+ year existence has the team personified these words - doing it right "all the time" or making winning a "habit" … [Read more...]

Dean Lombardi & Darryl Sutter Get A Clean Slate
December 17, 2011 By Bobby Scribe
Humor is a wonderful way to cope. I have often found that facing reality with a smile on your face brings focus. Stress solves little. So, in the days following Murray's firing, we have infused humor into our articles to help ourselves, and those of you who share the same sentiment, cope. Fact - The L.A. Kings currently suck. They look good on paper. On the ice, we can't score goals. They might … [Read more...]

That Bitter Beer Face Can Make Our Boys Better?
December 15, 2011 By Bobby Scribe
From George Johnson of the Calgary Herald: That bitter beer face. Those caustic rejoinders. The contemptuous snort. The manipulation. The condescension. Ah, the memories come flooding back … Why, it’s enough to make the hardest-hearted scribbler dab away a nostalgic tear from the corners of leaky lids. In the short term, if mounting speculation is to be believed (and there are no … [Read more...]

Sutt Yeah, Mother Sutter!
December 13, 2011 By Bobby Scribe
In every adversity, there is opportunity. Tonight, I present you with one very near and dear to my heart...one of linguistics. "Scribe...what are you talking about, you fucker?" No, no, my brothers and sisters of puck. It's, "what are you talking about, you Sutter?" From this moment forth, I ask that you speak and write the frequently used, often misunderstood, always entertaining … [Read more...]

Boston Bruins Shut Out Kings 3-0: Stop Me If You’ve Heard This One…
December 13, 2011 By Bobby Scribe
We take a penalty early and then follow it up with another. We fall behind 1-0. We have a few scoring chances but can't finish. For the most part, we throw pucks at the net. Nothing is going in. We sustain a decent amount of pressure for a short period of time. We still can't bury the puck. The opposing team scores another, right after we blow a decent chance. We throw more … [Read more...]

The Hockey News To Dean Lombardi – Take Darryl Sutter Off Your List
December 13, 2011 By Bobby Scribe
From Ken Campbell of The Hockey News: We get that Los Angeles Kings GM Dean Lombardi felt he had to fire Terry Murray, even though his timing couldn’t have been worse. The guy was one win away from 500 in his career and who knows now whether he’ll ever get another chance to reach the milestone? But nobody said life in the NHL was fair and that is especially true for NHL coaches. If life … [Read more...]

Dean Lombardi’s Next Coaching Mistake Will Be His Last
December 12, 2011 By Bobby Scribe
If this is the mug of the next L.A. Kings coach, then Dean Lombardi better be prepared for his own exit in 2012, likely before we reach the month of April. In such a case, I hope he likes coincidences and ironies because, when his legacy as a G.M. is written, it will be with the inescapable theme that he didn't learn a damn thing from his days in San Jose. I tell myself that Dean Lombardi … [Read more...]
