Calgary Flames at Los Angeles Kings, Nov 21, 2009 1:00 PM PST
If I had a band, I'd name it Matchsticks and Gasoline; well, either that or Hamster Huey and the Gooey Kablooie
The Kings need secondary scoring. Hell, the Kings need scoring in general the last few games. The Kings were forced to move Alexander Frolov up to their top line due to the loss of Ryan Smyth, further reducing their ability to threaten with multiple lines. Clearly their needs to be something done, a bold step needs to be made by our fearless leader Terry Murray, a-
"I need to play him [Ivanans] more."
WHAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTT???????????
Oh Goddammit.
Of course, I'm not being entirely fair. The full context of the quote is that the Kings have a lot of games coming up and Murray can't play his top 2 lines 20 minutes a night and he Brad Richardson and Teddy Purcell need to play more and Murray's most likely going to give Ivanans 7 minutes a night instead of 4 and then rotate Richardson, Harrold and Purcell on that third line... but damn, that's an ugly quote. That's the hockey equivalent of Reverend Wright.
The Kings play the Calgary Flames, which is awesome because it means I get to see Jay Bouwmeester and Craig Conroy. I love Bouwmeester because he's probably one of the smartest players in hockey and it'll be fascinating to watch him in contrast to one of the dumbest, Dion Phaneuf. I like to think that Phaneuf and Jack Johnson will start slashing and jawing at each other and then Bouwmeester and Doughty will just kind of look at each other and shake their heads in bewilderment.
Prediction: Kings win, 4-3. Goals by Ivanans (x4). Murray tells me to suck it.

I can’t believe I missed that. Fuck yeah Craig Conroy.
Yeah, Conroy doesn’t get enough credit. His problem is that he’s not good enough to be a 1st liner but he’s probably too good to be a 3rd liner (in that squads aren’t going to have 2 centers better than him on their team). Keenan used to put Conroy out there with Iginla whenever they played the Kings because Conroy could shut down Kopitar. I look at him as being in between Chris Drury and Jarret Stoll; not as good as Drury, but better than Stoll. Plus, he’s adorable and is the best interview in the league.
You know what would be hilarious? A joint interview with Conroy and Bouwmeester.
So Craig, what did you think of tonight’s game?
Conroy: Well it was a real tough effort, but Iginla had a great game and I thought Robin Regher played really well; you know, he’s a great guy and he gives a full effort every night but he doesn’t get a lot of credit. And then of course we have big Jay over here holding things down! C’mere, Jay, what did you think of tonight’s game? *smiles
Bouwmeester: Umm… yeah… good effort… I thought we did OK.
The West Coast is the Best Coast.
Hm, 1 pm at Staples? 7 pm at Honda Center? It occurs to me that this may be one of the rare occasions where a hockey fan could legitimately and easily attend two NHL games in one afternoon with no overlap.
I wonder whether anybody’s taking advantage of that SoCal Double-Down Saturday.

I’d have to think that it’d be somewhat affordable — neither arena is Toronto or anything. Tickets are certainly affordable cheap in Anaheim.

That'd be kewl to see 2 games like that
Last Ducks tickets we had were $40 I think it was
Strong arm a few grade school kids for their lunch money and your set
Some days its just not worth chewing through the restraints
HAHAHAHAHAHA
Oh Jay Bouwmeester, is there any situation you can’t make hopelessly awkward?
Him and Patrick Marleau should team up to form a crimefighting duo that uncomfortables opponents into submission.
The West Coast is the Best Coast.
