How quickly we become spoiled. From four consecutive 3-0 leads in playoff series, to being down 2-0 and oh hockey gods, why hast thou forsaken us? I know! I know! It's because Ellerby sucks! And, and and, Muzzin's too inexperienced! And that fucking prick Jonathan Quick let in two suck ass game winners! Stupid Kopitar won't shoot the puck. Regehr is slow and I miss my 2nd round picks. … [Read more...]
Blues Takes Game One In OT – Deep Breaths All Around
April 30, 2013 By 22 Comments
The hockey gods are not like your average Judeo-Christian god. They do not work in mysterious ways, they play their cards right in your face, often imbued with a Gambit-like charge. Tonight the hockey gods balanced the books. First off, Quick misplaying the puck behind the net and giving away the game winning overtime goal, that was epic. I mean, the fucking worst thing I've ever seen, but in … [Read more...]
A Video, An Update & A Hockey Game
April 21, 2013 By
So a clinched playoff spot, eh? Not bad for a day off. I meant to write a pregame today. I didn't. Get over it. Here's a video to watch. Here an update: We should be announcing the winners of the Replica Ring contest later this week. Sorry it's taken so long. No, I take that back. I'm not sorry, someone's getting a free ring, I'll take as long as I want. Here's another thing: If a … [Read more...]
Canucks and Kings Seasons Do Not Matter As The Past Is History
April 10, 2012 By
If the regular season is a grind, then the playoffs are a purée. Does that make any sense? Some. But not enough for you to think about it too hard. They are just words. The Vancouver Canucks Presidents Trophy makes some sense too. But it isn't meaningful enough for you to get your neurons all twisted up. It was just a regular season. All that has happened bears not on what's to come. … [Read more...]

The Dutch Perspective: Make No Mistake Where You Are …
February 29, 2012 By
… So, on the evening of the Leap Day, and headed into March, I don’t know if there’s much to say here without feeling like a broken record. The same things I’ve said about the lack of scoring all season long are still in focus from my point of view. - I still think the Kings’ shooting percentages, both at five-on-five and with the man advantage, are abnormally and unsustainably low. … [Read more...]
Where The Hell We Were, Where The Hell We’re Going
January 30, 2012 By
The All-Star game is over and done with, it's manufactured fanfare a thing of dust on Jeremy Roenick's overactive and unappealing lungs. There will be no more extended breaks in the mad dash to the playoffs over the next 32 games. Starting Wednesday the Kings will never have more than 3 consecutive days off without a game and even that will happen only twice. 7 back to backs, all of which … [Read more...]
