Just as Massachusetts and twelve colonies beat back the British well over 200 years ago and earned their freedom, these Bostonians sent the British Columbians back to their homeland for the final battle and left their city in ashes. They did so against great odds and contrary to the talking heads' predictions who fancy themselves experts. "Vancouver in 6." "Vancouver in 5." "Vancouver sweeps." … [Read more...]
I AM DANGEROUSLY CLOSE TO LOSING IT…
June 14, 2011 By
Monday, 12:30pm, I picked up the phone at work and called the wife. I asked her if she could do me a favor. She said sure. I asked if she could take our daughter out that night. "You want to go out tonight? But it's game 6." "No. I don't want to go out. I want you and she to go out. The two of you." "Why?" "Because it's game 6, I will be home at 4:30 and I want to be alone with the … [Read more...]
AND IT’S THE BEST OF THREE FOR THE STANLEY CUP
June 8, 2011 By
Regarding Roberto Luongo... "Luongo will be fine. We trust him and his ability." - Alain Vigneault As for Tim Thomas... "Winning." - Charlie Sheen JT Dutch told you the series may be the Tale of Two Goaltenders. I think he nailed it. Games 1 and 2, Luongo was on. Thomas' detractors claimed him too aggressive and pointed to Burrows' overtime goal in game two as exhibit A. The tide … [Read more...]
RO8ERTO LUONGO DELIVERS A SNOWMAN IN JUNE
June 6, 2011 By
The best way to get Roberto Luongo (hereinafter Ro8erto) off his game is to get the puck between his ears. 8 between the pipes is nice. 5 between the ears is a game changer because that's where he is weakest. That's where he becomes exposed. A victory certainly gets the Boston Bruins back into this series but an ass kicking of this magnitude reverberates. The Bruins are in Ro8erto's head. It was … [Read more...]
A TALE OF TWO GOALTENDERS – ROBERTO LUONGO v. TIM THOMAS
June 1, 2011 By
J.T. Dutch is a long time LA Kings' fan who, like many of us, has an enduring passion for puck. Since I pride myself in having an eye for talent, I sought J.T. out to write with us. He accepted. We hope you enjoy his first article about the Stanley Cup goaltending match of Roberto Luongo v. Tim Thomas as well hope to see J.T. become a regular contributor around these parts. So, here we are. … [Read more...]
HAPPY ROUSING RAPTURE DAY
May 21, 2011 By
I stayed up late tonight just to wish those of us who will not be saved (the infidels, atheists, deists, agnostics, and Todd Bertuzzi) a rile and rocking day of rapture. 3,000,000 of our kind have traveled to Heaven. They're gone, never to be seen again. Those who haven't, including you and me, will be tormented for the next 5 months until the End of Days, the latter being different than the … [Read more...]
TIM THOMAS YOUR HELMET MAKES YOU LOOK FAT
November 20, 2010 By
The Trevor Lewis coming out party. Two assists for our boy, his first of the season, his fourth and fifth points in his career. On the first, he and rather shockingly, Westgarth (for his first career point), won a puck battle near the middle of the benches and broke out Brad Richardson who blazed down the left wing and put a purty shot against the grain over Thomas' left shoulder. On the … [Read more...]
KINGS @ BOSTON BRUINS GAME PREVIEW
November 20, 2010 By
Optimism can be a hard thing to come by during a three game losing streak. To instill optimism, I ask you to look at this game against the Boston Bruins not as a game in which the Kings are on the end of a back-to-back on the road, facing one of the leagues best and hottest teams. Rather, look to this as a case of rising to meet a challenge. Do not discount the effect of adversity. It … [Read more...]
