Anyone see that interview with Brenden Morrow after the game? Yikes. That Stars ship is a-sinking.

I tried to listen to it, but it was too long, and his voice was too boring.

I'll assume he wasn't in a very good mood after losing two in a row to the KINGS!! Yeah, I wouldn't be very cheerful either.

I think the Stars are in Loser Denial or something. The Kings were the same way until the Rangers shoved a parking cone up their asses.

Very nicely done, Kings. In all my years as a hockey fan, I've never seen the Dallas Stars at the bottom of the Pacific Division. And frankly, I think I'm enjoying it a bit too much.

There was also an interview with Brad Richards where he wore a borderline mall goth T-shirt and clearly was fighting the urge to cry. It was darkly captivating. I'll post it if I can find it.

Sadly I haven't been able to catch many Stars games so far, although if I did it would just be doom, gloom and more mall goth T-shirts anyway...

Rudy - Could you explain the parking cone incident?

The Stars were bad at one point in my memory, though it seems so long ago. I've been waiting for them to fall for a while and never understood why they were able to maintain playoff-level while my Kings foundered. I always assumed it was a personal insult from God. I've never seen the Kings leave other teams shaking their heads like they have been this season. It's early but there is a lot to be happy about.
The head to head comparisons with o'donnell/schneider and quincey/blake are never going to convince me of individual talents, but the way the Kings Team is playing together is a joy to see after so many years playoffless.

The parking cone thing is from Billy Madison. I enjoy stupid movies.

Yeah, I'm still not convinced the Kings aren't going to go on a 10-game losing streak in December, but I'll enjoy this little run while it's happening.

As you all know The Ducks blue line is suffering pretty badly.  Wiz being banished to the Islanders really doesn't help much.  What I'm about to suggest is crazy, probably not legal, and absolutely absurd.  But desperate times call for desperate measures.   

That is a picture of my girlfriend's dog, Mia.  And the holder of that hockey stick is me.  Every once in awhile I'll practice stick handling in my kitchen with a small tennis ball.  The other day, this interested Mia and she sort of made a game out of it.  I try to stick handle around her and she trys to get the ball.  At first this was no challenge to me, but then the little bastard started getting really good.  So, here's my solution:  

The Ducks sign Mia to a 3 year entry level contract.  She can't stick handle, check, pass, shoot, has no concept of what team she's on, and has pretty shitty cardio.  But from a team that once employed the likes of Ryan Whitney and Steve Eminger, this is all easily forgivable.  On the up side, she'll never take a penalty....  Unless they add biting or pissing on the ice to the NHL rule book.  She's relentless....  Unless the opponents all bring bacon which they use as a distraction.
