While I am a proverbial health nut, tonight I rebelled. I sat down and had a small and very manageable bowl of regular M&Ms (peanut ones suck), Skittles, and Jelly Bellies. I decided to treat myself to one each time we scored a goal, made a great play or Quick made a big save...I was strolling back to refill the small bowl by the 10 minute mark of the second period...and again by the middle of … [Read more...]
KINGS VS RED WINGS GAME PREVIEW – THE RETURN OF WILLIE MITCHELL
December 13, 2010 By
These guys again? They are supposed to be good or something, right? So goes the word on the street. Word in Los Angeles is that we kicked these shmos out of our town last week.

They wait for you to make a turnover, make a mistake and immediately swarm to your net and then make you pay. By their position through the neutral zone, they are ready to expose the opposing … [Read more...]

October 15, 2009 By
Tonight will be a good test for the Kings. They will have their number 1 goalie, Jonathan Quick in net, but they will also be very tired. Having just played a disheartening game against the New York Rangers last night, this will be the Kings' first test of the season in the 2nd game of a back-to-game scenario. Luckily for the Kings, the Wings will be without star center Pavel Datsyuk, who … [Read more...]
