Defending Big D is OK if you like, you know, "reporting" and "good writing" and "people not being jackasses." Pfft, whatever.

Everything stinks. The Dodgers, the Kings, the Trojans, and I don't who the Galaxy are but I'm sure they stink too.* The Kings got worked by the Columbus Blue Jackets, a team that is pretty much a carbon copy of the Kings except they are deeper and are more committed to their system. It's disappointing because the Blue Jackets are a team the Kings must be better than if they hope to make the playoffs but right now they aren't. That was disheartening.

*I do know who the Galaxy are because I'm one of those crazy people that can enjoy soccer but it's hilarious that the Galaxy have more ties than wins... and they're in first place.

Terry Murray made his first big shake-up of the forward lines in the latter part of the third period against the Blue Jackets, putting Frolov with Stoll and Brown, Purcell with Handzus and Trevor Lewis, and Wayne Simmonds (who has escaped scrutiny despite a lackluster start) on the 4th line. The idea was to create two solid scoring lines and it kind of worked; Frolov and Brown did managed to create a few opportunities, although they were ultimately unsuccessful in finishing any chances.* The Kings have 3 fairly solid defensive lines but they don't have any scoring coming from any line besides Kopitar's. They need to get scoring from those lines or they look... well, they like last year.

*Frolov and Brown are like Zach Galifianakis and Robin Williams: Galifianakis will only tell 7 jokes in a 90-minute set but they'll all be hilarious and you'll wonder why he doesn't tell more, while Williams will tell 300 jokes and only 7 of them will be funny.

The Dallas Stars... do people still give a rat's ass about the Dallas Stars? No? Whew, makes my job easier. Anyway, Brad Richards is out tonight, so good?

Prediction: Kings win, 3-1. Goals by Kopitar (x3), who says, "Jesus guys, I could use a little help."

Frolov scratched

Hammond is reporting some big changes with the Kings lineup tonight. TM is making an example of Fro.

The tenative 3rd and 4th lines are:

Ivanans/Zus/Simmonds
Moller/Richardson/Harrold

Yikes. Hopefully TM comes to his senses and puts Moller on the 3rd line.

Bad things are brewing with the Frolov saga. Everyone knows that Frolov can be lazy, but I think he gets singled out more than anyone else. I like Fro, and I fear this is starting to look like the beginning of the end for his tenure with the Kings.

Moller-Richarsdon-Harrold

Jesus Christ, I actually want the Stars to win tonight. Like, win 9-0. This has to be the stupidest, most careless, most foolhardy… fuck, I need to calm down.

I can understand making an example of Frolov, that was a fucking stupid pass at a horrible time (and it wasn’t the first time) but why the shit replace him with Ivanans? Murray himself said that Ivanans also ruined the Blue Jacket game by getting that retarded penalty, and putting Ivanans with Simmonds and Handzus basically takes away any effectiveness those two have. Moller has been getting thrown around these two games like stupid comments on a blog.

So, is it Frolov or Brown who’s infamous for stealing other people’s material? Fuck Robin Williams. That hairy chested douche.

Everyone “steals” jokes. You hear something funny once and then something comes up in a similar situation and you think of the same thing. The only thing you can do is apologize and stop doing the joke.

Of course, some guys like Carlos Mencia and Dane Cook actively steal shit and they deserve to get kicked in the head.
