If any of you have watched NBC’s Post Game wrap-up, then you know Other-Brother-Darryl needs to take that sh*t on the road! Because having handled talent and sat through countless hours of interviews and seen press chewed up and spat out by the best, Other-Brother-Darryl ranks right up there only he is god damn funny […]
Intern Jeff Skinner is pissed. Last year, zero Calder Trophy finalists were featured as Foxy Fridays. Not even Rookie of My Life Logan Couture, and not counting the time Jeff posted a picture of himself holding a baby. Zero legitimate Foxy Fridays. This year, we’re giving them out like candy. First Landeshirtless over there in […]
If you go seven months without seeing an acquaintance, you might greet them with, “Wow, you look so….” The word the Devils and Kings need here is hairy. These teams last met in October and it’s a wonder if they’d recognize each other now without the numbers on their backs. Each team has been presented with […]
Foxiness can come in many ways, shapes, and forms. Sometimes it can come in the way of physical beauty. Other times from athletic prowess. Still other times from humanistic endeavors like building houses for the poor. In the case of Dustin Penner, it comes in two ways. The Facial Hair and The Funny. When combined, this […]
The stage is nearly set for the ultimate NHL showdown. The Devils and Rangers battle it out at center stage while the Kings wait in the offing for their opponent to be named. It’s a long, hard fight to be among the last teams standing. Every one inch is earned. This week, we salute the […]
Last night was bonkers. The Devils scored three goals while I was making mac & cheese, then the Rangers got them all back. The Rangers were bad, then great. Brodeur had one of those moments, like in the back of a cab when you know you’re going to throw up and you have to decide: […]
My cats have banned me from the TV. Osiris Jones actually mews at anyone who swears. True Story. And there was a ton of it tonight. I swear like a sailor and many of Mr. Cherrie’s friends think I learned it from him but actually, I taught him pretty much everything he knows. My grandfather worked […]
Tonight the Kings will try again to advance to the Stanley Cup Finals. They’ve lost just two games in three rounds. The @LAKings Twitter feed is spectacular, full of things only Judge Judy could get away with saying in a courtroom. I’d just like to remind the Washington Capitals that I’m available for snarky and potentially trouble-making […]
Last night’s game was like the first episode of The Bachelorette. 25 suitors vying for one slightly used but marginally OK single mom. Not a lot of rough stuff – Shane Doan with yet another penalty, a few taunts, a couple of chest puffs but all in all, a tight game with one impression rose […]
The Kings devastated the Coyotes last night in more ways than one. The Coyotes bit back and not in a nice way. I was going to take the high road in this post and talk about how adorable Antoine Vermette was in his pre-game interview but then the Coyotes took a page from the Penguin’s book […]
So the LA King’s have lost only one play-off game so far … No, that is not a typo. ONE. Coach Dave Tippett of the Coyotes, seems to be the only other person on the planet besides me, the only LA KINGS fans (OK – I know there are like – four of us) who know […]
In case you missed it yesterday, check out our post from Puck Daddy! In this year’s Stanley Cup Playoffs, the fates select which beards will have a chance to realize their true potential. Five teams remain. Five beards (OK, six) have emerged as top contenders for Beard of the Year. None of these teams made it […]
Last night’s Caps/Rangers Game 6 was officially the most fun I’ve ever had at a hockey game. Maybe it was the Jeff Schultz Fan Club in front of us at warm-ups – hey, there really is someone for everyone. Maybe it was the “Let’s Let Karl’s Dogs Out” sign or the Flo Rida dance party. […]
The fates came out of their hole, looked for their shadows and decreed we shall see more of this: And no more of this: Okay, maybe one more: We extend sympathies to our Flyers fans. Yes really, even though I hate them. Losing sucks no matter if you’re my team or a great looking guy […]
For those of you keeping count, last night the Jawas sent Chewie and the Ewoks packing. I think there was a grand disturbance in the force when Chewie tapped into the dark side and smashed Hans Solo’s head into the boards in an earlier series and sometimes karmic galactic payback is a bitch. Chewie will now be able […]
Most girls will tell you there are few situations in life that cannot be explained by a scene from The Princess Bride. After the Caps’ loss to the Rangers last night, I feel Mostly Dead. Tortured. Gutted. But if you lean close enough, you might hear me whisper: In case you missed it (what on […]
The great oracle Orisis Jones was right as far as part of the West Coast goes: Not since 1993 have the LA Kings been to a conference final and that was when the Great One played for them – as in Wayne Gretzky. The Kings have swept the #1 and #2 seed and yet the […]
The only reasons to be awake at 7 AM on a Saturday are you’re 1) still up from the night before or 2) buying playoff hockey tickets. I woke Gator up with a text and we debated (read: I peer pressured her). Something was telling me to go. The Force was communicating. So we went. […]
Claude Giroux needed to count to ten (in French) before throwing this hit in last night’s loss to New Jersey: What do you think – Shanabanned? I would not be surprised. Zubris has long since passed the puck and G seems to wait until after the shoulder hit is available, then go straight for his […]
The Kings have lost only ONE play-off game to date. And after listening to the announcers last night, could they have made anymore snide/ weight remarks? Let me count them down for you: Doughty certainly is a well-rounded player Doughty just skated down the Blues bench and told them they’d have to be quicker than […]
