It’s another day. A rainy, miserable day. But this thunder and lightning that beats at my door pales and trembles at the flash and the bang that crashes through my heart. Roars echo, cascading off living room walls and bar urinal stalls as the LA Kings take playoff ice once again in Vancouver. Tonight, the [...]
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 [...]
“This may sound petty and mean…”
March 1, 2012 By
Iain MacIntyre, a Vancouver “reporter” wrote this in an article for The Vancouver Sun: “This may sound petty and mean, but there is justice in the ongoing underperformance of good teams that fire successful coaches for inferior ones in the belief there’s nothing wrong with the players. So to the Los Angeles Kings and Washington Capitals, [...]
Your Requisite Jeff Carter Youtube Videos
February 24, 2012 By
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.
The Case For Jeff Carter > Rick Nash
February 20, 2012 By
I’ve stayed pretty quiet on this whole Rick Nash to the LA Kings hubbub, partially because Scribe is spasming out far more than our quota of trade speculation posts but mostly because I haven’t really settled on a feeling about trading for Nash. My general thoughts have been that no trade will rectify what ails [...]
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 [...]
In Breaking News, 1 Goal Is Not Enough To Defeat NY Islanders
February 11, 2012 By
It was a battle of nitwits. Skill vs. Toughness. Brawn vs. Finesse. The sole sniper with a single bullet and an eagle eye in the brush vs. the wild spray of the blind barbarian’s machine gun fire. The barbarian is on the ground, a bloody hole amid his brow. Mark Streit, oh captain, their captain, [...]
We Play The NY Islanders At What Time? An Openly Annoyed Forum
February 10, 2012 By
There is a conspiracy against me to inhibit me from watching any more Kings games. It’s what Matthew Barry might refer to as being ‘blessed’ but I find disturbing. Disturbing mostly due to the fact that I’m not all that upset about it. There was a time not too long ago that I agonized over [...]
Poor Greg Wyshynski, Rich Zach Parise
January 31, 2012 By
Surly and I like Greg Wyshynski. He is a good writer and runs a successful website for Yahoo Sports’ Puck Daddy that has the more than occasional sense of humor and doesn’t always take itself too seriously. Hey, anyone who gives Ryan Lambert a job has to enjoy laughing and be playing with someone else’s [...]
Video: The Fame Makers With Richards, Kopitar, Doughty & Greene
January 27, 2012 By
The boys at Funny Or Die did this video for the fans. They sent it to me to share. Click on the link and enjoy. I chuckled.
Well, We’re Fucked
January 15, 2012 By
I knew the Edmonton Oilers were a strong offensive team. I admit I am highly envious of their leading scorer, Jordan Eberle, who I just love to watch. I haven’t seen much thus far of their second leading scorer, the infant Ryan Nugent-Hopkins. Does anyone else ever imagine that Ted Nugent raped Bernard Hopkins and [...]
If Nothing Else, Dustin Penner Is A Funny Guy…
January 11, 2012 By
As most of you know, Kings left wing Dustin Penner has been a frequent guest on MayorsManor since arriving in Los Angeles last February. He’s often brought a great sense of humor and insight to this site when talking about hockey and life in general. A lot has gone down since he was a last [...]
The Case For Carlyle & Dean Lombardi’s Courage Or Lack Thereof
December 4, 2011 By
From Helene Elliott: Randy Carlyle, who coached the Ducks to the Stanley Cup title in 2007 but was fired Wednesday because of the team’s prolonged struggles, said Saturday he has been traveling “an emotional road” since his dismissal and will take a brief fishing trip to Northern California before considering his hockey future. “We’ll see,” he said [...]
Love The Johnson-Voynov Pairing, Hate The Forward Lines…Total Derp
December 2, 2011 By
This is how the L.A. Kings practiced today. Gagne-Kopitar-Brown Penner-Stoll-Williams Richardson-Loktionov-Westgarth Clifford-Fraser-Moreau Scuderi-Doughty Johnson-Voynov Drewiske-Greene You may recall I have hoped / wished / dreamed of a Johnson-Voynov pairing several times on this site. Bluntly, I didn’t think I would get it. Well, somebody was listening or it was total coincidence…my guess is the latter. While I [...]
