Prediction: Kings win, 5-2. Goals by Kopitar (x3), O'Sullivan and my man cock. Earl screeches effeminately in despair.

Also, Earl’s mom has got huge boobs compared to the rest of her body. Those fake? I seem to remember Rudy telling us at some point that fake boobs are awesome, so I suppose those would do for him.

So true…

These cartoons concern me on so many levels. Normally, I’d say “I’ll believe it when I see it”, but I really shouldn’t (realizing that by saying I shouldn’t say it, I’ve said it).

I feel disturbed… Go KINGS!!

And not only annual, but for fucking charity!

I haven’t paid much attention to what Burke’s doing or saying up in T.O., actually — that’s somebody else’s problem now. There is quite a difference for Anaheim, though, as I don’t believe I’ve heard one word from new GM Bob Murray since the day he was announced. It feels especially odd in the wake of Perry’s suspension, because you know that Burkie would be talking the shit out of that one.

I read yesterday that Burke was having discussions with the Blue Jackets to make a move. Burke is apparently willing to move Nik Antropov and Pavel Kubina, who the Blue Jackets want, for draft picks and prospects, who the Blue Jackets are apparently willing to give up.

Anyway, I just purchased tickets to the February 18 game at Honda Center. Section 442 because that’s all I could afford to spend (with the college semester starting Monday, I needed to put a lot of money aside for books and materials). I got a pair of tickets in the WC section (my dad can’t handle all those steep steps in the upper terrace for medical reasons) for $23.00 apiece off the Ducks website. For what it’s worth, my season-tickets for the Kings in the upper concourse have a face value of $29.00.

BSG might be the one hour per week that I don’t care profusely about hockey. And I’m a pretty recent convert, having started watching the series after the Ducks got eliminated last spring. It’s a nice way, for sure, to dull the pain of playoff suckitude.

I really wish it had a different title. I try to tell people how awesome it is but as soon as I saw “Battlestar Galactica” their eyes start to roll and I can tell they’re thinking how gay I am. If the had a cooler title, that wouldn’t happen. Nobody says anything when I say Mad Men is cool. They should’ve called it “Mad Space Men”. Or, “Mad Men…in Space!”. “Mad Cylons”?

I’m actually starting to become a fan of Getzlaf. I mean his name is freakin’ awesome. It’s got a “z” in it! Chris Kunitz, Ilya Bryzgalov are cool, too.

And Anze Kopitar.. Michal Handzus. That’s awesome. I mean you look at the guys in this league with a “z” in their name: Zdeno Chara, Johan Franzen, Scott Gomez, Olaf Kolzig. Those are goood players.

Although fuck Todd Bertuzzi. He has two "z"s. That’s not cool at all. Jason Spezza, the only other active two "z"er, I’m kinda indifferent towards.

Fuck you, Denis Gauthier

Nah, I can’t really explain it. One “z” just looks cooler, in my way of thinking. Two of them gives me the impression of “my name’s not awesome enough to where it’ll sound right with just one, so I’ll throw another one in there to fix it”. I mean Getzlaf, Kunitz, and Bryzgalov are awesome names because of the “z”. Bertuzi looks fucked up.

The way the Sens are falling off the competitive map, if you missed it the first time, you may not get another opportunity. Trust me, though — put a Pahlsson on him and he falls apart.

You know, Pahlsson actually scored a goal against me in my NHL 09 BAP mode. I couldn’t believe it.

You want to hear something even crazier?

I finished my first season of BAP on easy and won a shitload of trophies. But guess who won the goddamn Selke Trophy?

George Fucking Parros.

Admittedly, though, he played the whole year with Pahlsson as his center.

http://www.battleofcali.com/

by Earl Sleek on Jan 6, 2009 1:51 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs

Crazy. I’m in the middle of my third BAP, and the two winners of that trophy are Brown and Nagy, who are both Kings. I suspect that they might always pick a player on the team your player’s on.

I don’t even wanna know who won the Bill Masterton, Lady Byng, and Lester B. Pearson Awards.

Although on my BAP, Bobby Ryan won the Calder in 09/10.

I knew it! The way Parros got his hair cut was a little too similar to the way the Chief shaved his head (minus the wife-out-of-the-airlock incident).

My second guess was going to be Ilya Bryzgalov, only because his thought patterns mirror that of the Hybrid.

See, I have no identification whatsoever with the old series. I know that it existed, and vaguely understand the back-and-forth red lights of the Cylons, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen an episode.

Sad to say, but I know more about the look of old-series Cylons from the Faceman introduction of the A-Team than I do from the actual BSG original series.

Aw. c’mon, that was a sweet one. I think I’ve been in attendance for two of the sweeter Pahlsson goals of the year (SJS, LAK), so it’s probably the green shirt and not you. Further testing is definitely required.

Well, I haven’t committed really to any Kings game just yet.

The games I know I’m going to for the remainder of the season are these:

Feb. 2nd — Buffalo Sabres — upper deck
Feb. 15th — Atlanta Thrashers — don’t know where I’m sitting
Mar. 6th — Dallas Stars — Row B
Mar. 15th — San Jose Sharks — upper deck

But who knows? There may be more.

Fuck you, Denis Gauthier

by Kevin Y on Jan 7, 2009 9:12 AM PST up reply actions 0 recs

I didn’t see the goal, actually. I had turned away to see the Hornets unfortunately massacre the Lakers, and turned back when my dad yelled in disgust from the other room. I just heard it was a tip-in, and I absolutely love tip-ins… except against the Kings.

All-time, the Kings are 2-1-0 at Honda Center/Arrowhead Pond in games I’ve attended. The one loss was in Perry and Getzlaf’s rookie season, and one of them (Perry, I think) got a hat-trick. I can’t remember the first victory because it was like eight years ago. The one memory I have is of a fan sitting a section over shouting “Let’s go Devils”. The Devils, of all teams.

Now, here’s something really ironic that I noticed just now: the last game I went to at Honda Center was on February 18, 2007. I’m going to the game this year on… February 18, 2009. As for the game two years ago, that was part of a home-and-home with the Kings the day before. Both games went into a shootout, and the road team won both games. Ever since then, I have said those two games are the greatest regular-season games I have ever seen (only challenged by last season’s Royal Rebound).

So basically, this game next month is going to be very interesting. I’m also going to the game tonight at Staples Center, so I’m gonna see a lot of the Ducks soon.

Fuck you, Denis Gauthier

by Kevin Y on Jan 7, 2009 9:11 AM PST up reply actions 0 recs

Let’s hope your game tonight features more than two shots-on-goal in the first ten minutes.

Seriously, last night’s game might as well have been a commercial for why this league sometimes needs phantom penalties. Had the refs swallowed their whistles, nothing would have happened last night. Heavy doses of conservatism are OK for winning, but it sure makes hockey a tough sell in SoCal.

Yeha, last night’s game was so incredibly boring. There were only like 40 combined shots on goal or something.

Although surprisingly, I was rather okay with Hayward’s commentating. He didn’t exhibit blatant homerism, and actually commended the Kings for making smart plays when they made them… which wasn’t very often.

But Hayward looks absolutely SCARY!! I mean just look at him. His eyes are just… evil.

And speaking of “phantom penalties”, in the Sabres/Senators game last night, during a scrum in the first period, Jarkko Ruutu of the Senators actually BIT the Sabres’ Andrew Peters. The penalties: Peters, 2 min for unsportsmanlike conduct.

i saw some douche with brown hair and some neatly trimmed nsync type beard to the left of you…im praying that wasnt rudy

That might have been my buddy McFed, though it’s tough to say. It’s confusing, because of the four people there we had zero beards.

how much did u drink by the way?

I think my total last night was 3 beers and 2 double-jack-and-Pepsis. I bought two drinks to start the second period because with 1:30 of 3-on-5 coming up, I could feel a goal-against coming. Not a terrible outing.
