10. While the Kings have the puck but unable to get shots on net, David Courtney belts out over the mic "LOS ANGELES GOAL! His 26th goal and 2nd of the game, AN-ZE KOPITAR!" In the ensuing Sharks' confusion, all five Kings drive to the net and bang it home on the third attempt after missing the net two additional times. 9. Terry Murray fakes an epileptic seizure and falls on the ice during the … [Read more...]
SO CAL v. NO CAL. THE LA KINGS DRAW THE SAN JOSE SHARKS IN PLAYOFF ROUND 1
April 10, 2011 By
LA Kings v. San Jose Sharks So Cal v. No Cal The Hockey Gods have humbled the Chicago Blackhawks and put their playoff hope at the mercy of the Dallas Stars v. Minnesota Wild. Out of this, we drew our foes to the north. Excited? I am just glad we made the playoffs and while the prospect of Justin Williams being back for game one does tickle my fan-cy, my expectations are tempered, even … [Read more...]
LA KINGS POST GAME: KINGS BEAT SHARKS IN SHOOTOUT 4-3
March 24, 2011 By
I am not certain which was uglier - Joe Thornton's mug or the officiating. Let's compare. The morons in stripes called a phantom slashing penalty against Jarret Stoll (as a friend explained in a text, you can't "slash upward"), a second non-existent tripping penalty against Alec Martinez in the third period, missed several muggings behind the goal including a trip against Oscar Moller, … [Read more...]
LA KINGS POST GAME: GIVE THEM NOTHING. TAKE FROM THEM EVERYTHING!
March 13, 2011 By
First, I was like this... Then, like this... And with 20.8 seconds left... The LA Kings beat the Dallas Stars 3-2, have 83 points, jump over Dallas and the Chicago Blackhawks and are in fourth place. Michal Handzus (Zeuuuus!) played hero with exceptional honorable mention to Alexei Ponikarovsky (who also played a role in the first goal) and Wayne Simmonds for that all balls, … [Read more...]
KINGS WIN THREE IN A ROW – BEAT SHARKS 3-2 IN SHOOTOUT
January 27, 2011 By
As I walked into the arena and to my seats in section 119, I saw a Sharks' fan with a shirt that read, "2006. One Goal" with a picture of the Stanley Cup. I smiled. It reminded me of this... San Jose Sharks' fans are amusing. Some carry themselves like they have won the Cup for three consecutive seasons. Their fans of a masculine gender vacillate between a Prozac overdose and a case of the … [Read more...]
KINGS VS COLUMBUS BLUE JACKETS GAME PREVIEW
November 17, 2010 By
Can you say bounce back game? I'll do you one better and believe it. The Los Angeles Kings look to recover from a rather brutal loss to the San Jose Sharks and regain their confidence. If they don't, tonight could see them slip into their first losing streak of the season. Screw all that noise. As Bobby poetically put it to me late Monday night, the Columbus Blue Jackets will be that … [Read more...]
KINGS @ SAN JOSE SHARKS GAME PREVIEW
November 15, 2010 By
I realize that I've unwittingly been enjoying this season so much more than the rest for reasons unknown to me before today. I haven't had to look at those ugly teal jerseys yet. Book-ended by the Anaheim Ducks and horseradish, the San Jose Sharks are second on my list of things I disdain. Disease, tyranny and random acts of street violence should probably be higher on that list, but if … [Read more...]
KINGS VS NEW YORK ISLANDERS GAME PREVIEW
November 13, 2010 By
You know what's cooler than tying a club record? Stomping on the New York Islanders for your 8th consecutive win at home to break a club record. Tying club records was so last year. Tonight the team that should have drafted Matt Duchene heads into Staples in an attempt to spoil all our fun. You can't really blame the Islanders. They live at the bottom of the Eastern Conference and … [Read more...]
SCRIBE’S KEYS TO BEATING CAROLINA
October 20, 2010 By
After watching the Canes v. Sharks last night, I may understand their style: They are a quick team that plays a simple north - south game and shoots a lot. They do not have much playmaking ability. Their offensive system is very simple. Get open, take a shot, get a rebound. I didn't see too much cycling or dot to boards play. Last night's victory was as much the Sharks trying to get cute … [Read more...]
