Now that my head swims less in liquor and more in reason, albeit slightly nauseous reason, I want to reflect a bit on what we’ve seen so far, not just in this Kings/Blues series, but around the NHL in round two of the 2012 playoffs. Starting back East, lines of superiority are being blurred, as [...]
If…
March 27, 2012 By
If you had your choice, who would you rather face in the playoffs? Okay, so it may seem like a really big IF as to whether the Kings even get into the playoffs, and of course it still is. However, in keeping with my renewed faith, rejuvenated optimism and a great Tarot reading from Madame [...]
Foot On The Gas Pedal: Kings @ Predators & Bonus Trade Deadline Open Forum
February 27, 2012 By
Shortly after the trade deadline expires, the Los Angeles Kings play the Nashville Predators in a game that will define the nature of their last marvelous 4-0 performance against the Chicago Blackhawks on Saturday. Was it merely a gulp of air as taken by a man in a maelstrom to stave off drowning a futile [...]
Shea Weber & Ryan Suter Are Dangerous Men
January 27, 2012 By
The Nashville Predators are 9-1-0 in their last 10. They have 64 points. They are third in the Central Division, arguably the best division in the league at the moment (who would have thunk it) and only three points out first place in the entire NHL. Impressive. They have something like $14.4 million dollars in [...]
Where Was The Killer Instinct In The Third Period?
November 9, 2011 By
I slept well last night. Our boys won. They broke the 5 game losing streak. They scored 4 goals. That first period was a gem. The Predators gave us opportunities on the powerplay and we finally buried it. Failing to score on that 5 on 3 (luckily we did just as the Predators were getting a [...]
L.A. Kings Beat Nashville Predators 4-3. Phew…
November 8, 2011 By
Jimmie: I can’t believe this is the same car. The Wolf: Well, let’s not start sucking each other’s dicks quite yet. We won. We scored 4 goals. Two of the goals were of the awesome variety with one timers by Alec Martinez and Mike Richards. We got into some bad habits but, for the most [...]
The Nashville Predators Paid Pekka Rinne How Much?
November 3, 2011 By
7 years, $49 mother freaking million dollars? $7 million dollar per season cap hit? Have the Predators lost their collective minds? He is 29 years old. His career GAA is 2.34. His career SV% is .920. He is a talented late bloomer. But $7 million? My first question when I read the announcement: “Was his [...]
Slogan Contest Winners
November 1, 2011 By
So I’m driving down the streets of LA and I see Kopitar’s face looming over a building up ahead. I get elated for a second, the same old vascular inflaming sensation I receive when I think about the Kings, because I’m weird and in love with a stupid hockey team that usually doesn’t love me [...]

RELAX ABOUT DREW DOUGHTY
June 30, 2011 By
This comes from a source I trust, one that has nailed each fact he has brought to me. I learned after the last word I received from someone other than said source that I can trust only him. Because he is right. Every damn time so far. Got that? Good. Now, here is the word. [...]

Guest writer Anthony Paulsen brings you his round 2 NHL playoff predictions What a great first round of playoff hockey we’ve witnessed this year! I’ll go as far as to say that this is probably the most exciting first round of playoffs that we’ve seen in at least a decade. Nothing is more exciting than [...]

The other team is from some place called Nashville. Never heard of it. I hope the Kings win. That’s all I got… GO KINGS GO
JORDIN TOOTOO ENTERS REHAB
December 27, 2010 By
The Nashville Predators have confirmed a Darren Dreger report that Jordin Tootoo has voluntarily entered in-patient care as part of NHL/NHLPA Substance Abuse and Behavioral Health Program. Kings’ fans know Jordin as a hard hitting, border line dirty and all around pest of a hockey player. That is his hockey persona and life. His personal [...]

CHANNELING RAGE – KINGS v. PREDATORS PREVIEW
December 18, 2010 By
Every smug face at the gym today looked like Steen…and forced me to turn away or risk imminent assault. At the gas station, a fifty something year old man with a St. Louis Rams hat walked to his truck…I suppressed the temptation of spraying him with the gas pump and launching a match. I must [...]
NASHVILLE TAKES THE LOSS IN STRIDE
November 6, 2010 By
From the Nashville blogging and media world. Click on each link for the full article. There’s not much to say about tonight’s drubbing in Los Angeles, as Pekka Rinne was pulled from the game in the 2nd period after allowing 4 goals on 22 shots, and the Preds were simply outworked up and down the [...]
