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...]
My Jack Johnson Jersey Is 3-0
March 13, 2012 By
Bobby is currently writing a 'real' post game, but he's taking too long. Since we traded Johnson, my purple and gold Johnson jersey has appeared at every home game. We've won them all. That's all there is to it really. Scribe likes to make fun of me for my superstitions. Ask him about the stupid Duck's orange hat he was wearing. Detroit sucks and my voice hurts. Shoot low, shoot often. … [Read more...]
Blue Jackets 3 – Kings 1: Don’t Read This Post Game. You May Not Like It
March 8, 2012 By
Karma is a misunderstood term. I have heard many "modern" definitions of it. One variation (which I believe is incorrect) is if you do good things, good things happen to you. Do bad and bad happens. This definition is an adaptation of "what goes around, comes around." You don't have to believe in any of that to feel how I do. I am upset the L.A. Kings lost because I am a Die-Hard King fan. I … [Read more...]
L.A. Kings vs. Columbus Blue Jackets Open Forum: Jack Mother F’in Chip On His Shoulder
March 7, 2012 By
Jeff Carter coming back to Columbus isn't a story...unless you are out of stories. Or dumb. What is a story is one mother fucking Johnson who I expect circled this game on his calendar shortly after the trade, even if he may deny it tomorrow. He'll probably say, "we just want to get the two points", "you always want to perform in every game regardless of who you play or your record" or similar … [Read more...]
Are The L.A. Kings Done Dealing? A 24 Hour Exclusive.
February 26, 2012 By
Someone said, tweeted or wrote somewhere that Jack Johnson was on the ice for all four of the Penguins goals against the Columbus Blue Jackets. I haven't verified this claim as true or not but, if it is, it makes me sad although, for the moment, sadness be damned. Our top six is Kopitar, Brown, Williams, Richards, Carter & ____. ____ has been, at best, inconsistent this season. Unless Dean … [Read more...]
You Don’t Have To Convince Me Jack Johnson Sucks For Me To Like Jeff Carter
February 24, 2012 By
Since I frothed at the mouth in typeface yesterday, I've seen a general trend: Kings' fans are happy with this deal. As someone who was pronouncedly pissed off when I learned of that deal, let me send a shocker your way. They should be. The Kings are likely a better team now than they were 48 hours ago. I say likely because they were also supposed to be a better team 4 months ago than they … [Read more...]

It's necessary. It's fun. It might even spur me to write a pleasant article. This just happened what, 3 days ago? Another hat trick. … [Read more...]

Please provide your reaction to the following trade scenarios involving the L.A. Kings and Rick Nash. As a side note, Curtis Sanford is on IR with an upper body injury. I bring this up because some of the trade scenarios involve him. … [Read more...]
The Flyers Want To Trade James van Riemsdyk To L.A.? Color Me Curious
February 17, 2012 By
James van Riemsdyk. Surly has been slow with the uptake around the league but I think even he knows who van Riemsdyk is. Let's recap. 2007 draft, 2nd overall. I remember that draft. Every Kings fan remembers that draft, the "Hickey draft." Turning 23 in May. Like it. 6'3", 200 pounds. Dig it. Left wing...let me double check that. Yes, left wing. Love it. A $4.25 million dollar … [Read more...]
No Kings Ransom For Rick Nash
February 15, 2012 By
I don't want Rick Nash on the L.A. Kings... "What!!??" ...because he will cost too much. If Jonathan Quick is injured, do you want to put our goaltending faith into some scrub? I don't. Jonathan Bernier is valuable and should not be traded. Update: Since writing this article, some have questioned what is so valuable about Bernier. I thought I would make a list of why I don't let Bernier … [Read more...]
Kings Slay The Senators 4-1
January 23, 2012 By
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...]
Kings vs. Stars: It Was The Best Of Games, It Was The Worst Of Games
January 13, 2012 By
In high school, I knew a kid named Brenden. I punched him on the school bus once. He was talking shit. I turned around, he looked at me, I looked at him and I popped him right on the nose. It bled. His eyes watered. I felt better. There was nobody to punch tonight. Strangely, I am ok with that. I am fine. Surly is not fine. If you heard an explosion and saw a mushroom cloud between L.A. and the … [Read more...]
Investigating The Tebow Celebration
January 10, 2012 By
After Jack Johnson's goal, I kept hearing people talk about his TiVo celebration. "TiVo", I thought? Is that still around? And what does that have to do with Johnson's goal? If you haven't seen it... I didn't get it. Then again, for me, if it's not hockey related, it's not sports related. I was later told, "No, you puckhead. Tebow! He is a quarterback for the Broncos." Quarterback. … [Read more...]
