Two posts in two days? This place is like Santa’s Workshop! Last night was the annual NHL Awards, or as we like to call it: the NHL A(wk)wards. Normally an unfunny, bumblingly-hosted, C-list celebfest, last night’s show was most of those things again. But better, no? I confess to liberal use of the mute button, […]
Remember yesterday when I said that the Kings needed to play like a hockey Borg to win the Stanley Cup… Well, folks. They did just that. New Jersey Devils resistance was utterly futile. Last night, the Kings went into full-on beast mode and beat the New Jersey Devils 6-1 to clinch the first Stanley Cup […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Ok, I’m starting this off with I don’t hate the Vancouver Canucks. I just happen to LOVE the LA KINGS – even more so after seeing them last night. Look at the play-off beard! If Pants was worried about me when we went to see Ovi in SJ in my outfit, she should have chaperoned […]
How have I never seen this before? My favorite is Getzlaf – he cannot get a single word out. Even Crosby’s getting sassy.
With the Free Agency thingy all done and gone, DDTBG didn’t quite get what he was hoping for. A restricted free agent, the cone of silence must have been deafening. “Can you hear me now?” is what Dean Lombardi’s morse code tapped out from LA to Canada in frosty covered sparkles. http://video.thescore.com/embed/the-peoples-reporter-1-on-1-with-drew-doughty Drew snapped back […]
Unfortunately Robot Chicken won’t let you upload the clip so you have to follow the (link) but it was Drew Doughty ALL NIGHT LONG! Chang- Ching! I couldn’t stand it last night! If the puck was anywhere near Drew it went in! He was the second star in the NHL behind Pavel Datsyuk; he tied the franchise record with an […]
Last night’s game against the Kings wasn’t exciting for me since they lost and looked lost on the ice especially when Captain DT. Brown went out for a bit with a sore ouchie. (not minimizing his pain, just borrowing BB’s explanation for hockey player’s injuries) The only bright spot was an interview with Kopitar from the sidelines with Heidi […]
What’s that you say? Who’s Drew Doughty? Well let me introduce you to him because I had to introduce myself to this tasty LA King treat. He caught my eye when Kopitar caught Malhotra’s stick in the face (see earlier post). Well, I have to be honest. I was watching it because they were wearing throw-back purple jersey’s […]
Anze Kopitar goes from looking like Malkin’s ugly younger brother to… After getting a stick to the face from Canuck’s Manny Malhotra and 18 stitches later and several lost teeth he comes back to haunt Vancouver with the winning shoot out goal! Take that Sedin twins – no form of, no super powers – even Count […]
