Getzlaf Vs the Hockey God a Short story by spade

Edit: This is now the Kings gameday post because holy fuck. -RK

 

I was watching the conan movies recently and forgot how awesome they were..the effects were cheesy as was the dialogue but I love that kinda shit....like I also like clash of the titans..anyways..since our ducks suck might as well write off topic and write a story about them. I decided to use actual movie quotes from the 2 conan movies..not all the quotes go to the right characters..but who gives a fuck..the quotes are the important thing...of course I altered a little but there like 95% unaltered..I wanted to use pictures but my work blocks me from putting them up so hope the dialogue is enough to entertain you...so without further a due:

Conan Verses the Hockey God

STARRING:

Thulsa Doom

"the Evil Hockey God"

Punishes all franchises who do not back check, take offensive zone penalties the main evil guy

he also kills people with arrows made of snakes and can turn into himself a snake at will...also voices dark vador

Ryan "conan" Getzlaf

"the Barbarian/Destroyer"

incurs the wrath of the Thulsa Doom by doing exactly everything he hates..also gets drunk and punches camels and gets thrown into cages to have sex at others viewing pleasure

Corey "Malak" Perry

"the thief"

talks a lot of shit and takes cheap shots after damage by conan has done the work..is crafty though

Teemu "Akiro" Selanne

"The wizard"

wizard with the puck old but reliable.. comes up with magic when needed

Star-divide

Conan Verses the Hockey God

Thulsa Doom the evil hockey had seen enough from Getzlaf...hed seen his last drop pass in the Defensive zone and decreed:

Thulsa Doom: Infidel Defilers. The Ducks shall all drown in lakes of blood. Pray to me now!!

Ryan "conan" Getzlaf :I have never prayed to you before. I have no tongue for it. No one, not even you, will remember if we were good men or bad. Why we fought, and why we died. All that matters is that today, two stood against many. Valor pleases you, so grant me this one request. Grant me the freedom to make douche plays! And if you do not listen, the HELL with you!

Teemu "Akiro" Selanne: To the hellfires with Thulsa Doom. He is evil; a sorcerer who can summon demons. His followers' only purpose is to backcheck in his service. Thousands of them.

teemu conjures up a spell..only for it to hit the crossbar

Corey "Malak" Perry: A fine magician you are! Go back to juggling apples.

Thulsa Doom: My child, you have come to me my son. For who now is your father if it is not me? I am the well spring, from which you cycle the puck. When I am gone, you will have never been. What would your hockey world be, without me? My son.

Ryan "conan" Getzlaf: No one in this world can you trust. Not men, not women, not beasts. [Points to hockey stick.] But this... this you can trust.

Thulsa gets red in the face!!

Corey "Malak" Perry: I think Getz made the hockey god angry.

Teemu "Akiro" Selanne: Are you surprised?

Corey "Malak" Perry: But we didn't steal everything he had!

Teemu "Akiro" Selanne: We didn't have time

Ryan "conan" Getzlaf takes a swing at the hockey godd and misses..thulsa fires one of his snake arrows and hits getzlaf...though wounded geztlaf gets up

Teemu "Akiro" Selanne: I suppose nothing hurts you.

Ryan "conan" Getzlaf : Only pain.

Ryan "conan" Getzlaf:  I go where I feel myself led.

Corey "Malak" Perry:  So I've noticed.

Corey "Malak" Perry:  Why is he trying to kill us?

Ryan "conan" Getzlaf : Maybe he wants to capture us, and torture us to death.

Ryan "conan" Getzlaf: I got a plan huddle around guys

Ryan "conan" Getzlaf:  Enough talk!

Teemu "Akiro" Selanne proceeds to skate by thulsa..thulsa takes a swings but misses..regardless teemu acts if hes been hit and takes a dive

Thulsa Doom: what the fuck?

as thulsa looks down at teemu and scracthes his head Corey "Malak" Perry runs him knocking him to the ground

Teemu "Akiro" Selanne: NOW!!! Getzlaf he is weaken

Getzlaf using Selannes illegal stick proceeds to bludgeon the hockey god to death

Ryan "conan" Getzlaf: Death to you..I shall continue to try to make creative plays and take penalties whenever I see fit..you cannot stop me anymore

Teemu "Akiro" Selanne: o no

Corey "Malak" Perry: what have we done!!!

Great stuff, Spade. I’m of a lazy bent today and also don’t really feel like writing about hockey, so instead of a gameday post myself I’m just going to front-page this bad boy, and we can discuss tonight’s game in these comments as well.

Nashville Predators (6-6-1, 13 pts) at Anaheim Ducks (4-7-2, 10 pts), 7 pm
Also: Anaheim Calling on the Ducks and On the Forecheck for the Preds.

Positivity: Since the lockout, the Ducks are 7-0-1 at home against Nashville, outscoring them 31-16.

Go Ducks.

I’m…I’m at a loss…

wow…

Grant me the freedom to make douche plays!

Ryan “conan” Getzlaf doesn’t need to be granted that freedom…he just does it…A LOT.

But that line cracked me up!

Ha, this totally fits in with Perry’s nonsense high-pitched yapping. But Corey is on fire, six goals over his last four games — he at least seems woken up.

Just need a few more Ducks to get back into form.

Too bad we don’t have a full team of guys trying to make their way onto team Canada instead of a bunch of guys with guarantees.

Well, at this point Getzlaf probably has his guarantee…Perry is having to work harder (and IS working harder) to get on the team. Even Bobby Ryan is probably a USA lock…

I’m not sure if it’s Olympic hunger or not, but whatever the reason, the Ducks don’t have enough guys willing to battle like this:

Perry’s been great in front of the net especially the last few games, not sure if anybody else has really attempted it (well, Parros that one time).

http://www.battleofcali.com/

(well, Parros that one time).

that made me chuckle.

I find that disturbing. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll take a patient perry goal any day, but I’d really love it if we started getting more than just cheap dirty goals. It would make me feel a little better about the fact that we have apparenlty have offense and might boost their esteem as well.

This also goes back to this whole concept of shooting the puck at the fucking net instead of two feet wide. Something that they apparently enjoy doing.

BTW, I really like the how bent Perry’s stick is in that photo — shows how tough he’s battling, plus it demonstrates something we all know — how little he cares about the opposition goalie.

I kinda like that Perry more than Patient Perry. But whichever one it is that scores goals more is tops in my book.

I like that there’s options — versatile Perry, the best of both worlds. The way he’s playing now, Canada should definitely take him.

Especially since I imagine Team Canada can kill penalties.

Mambo Fro Plays Songs Of Love

Okay, I’m so not worthy of the stories that get posted here, but your video combined with my Fro-love and produced this:

TM: Look here. I want you to study this mambo dog footage, Alex. Look at the fire in those eyes. The spring in those paws. He has 100% commitment. He is a TEAM PLAYER. He is good on the backcheck. And more importantly, he does ever-y-thing his trainer tells him to. Every single night.
Fro: …
TM: Do you understand me?! I brought this to inspire you. Mambo Dog. Be the mambo dog!
Fro: (looks at the screen blankly)
TM: Dammit, say something!
Fro: …um…yes, Coach?
TM: This is what I want from you. And this time—THIS TIME I’d better get a response. (storms out)
Fro: This is not how we do things in Russia.
_
(Later, Penguins game day: pre-warm-up)

Dusty: Uh…Fro, what the FUCK is that over your hockey pants?
Smitty: The HELL—?
Fro: It’s my mambo skirt. Something I work on. Watch. (launches into dance routine)
Kopi: Uh. Fro. I don’t think this is the time.
Fro: (smiling, oblivious to the sea of WTF faces) Zeus, get ready to do a lift!
(Handzus backs slowly away)
Smitty: Are you SERIOUS? Are you SHITTING me? This is how you prepare for a game against the Stanley Cup champions? TWIRLING?
Fro: Coach said—
Smitty: No! I wanted to play for a SERIOUS TEAM, and this is what I get? Mambo! And FRILLY SKIRTS! (bashes stick against the wall and storms out) Some kind of winning culture!

TM (enters): What was tha—oh my God.
Fro (still dancing): See! I watch the dog for hours! Big finish now. (does flip) TA DAAAAAA.

(silence for a full twenty seconds while Fro does jazzhands)

TM: Everybody out. No. Wait. You stay; Fro goes.
Fro (crestfallen): It’s no good? But I try so hard.
TM: Shut up. I’ve never seen anything more anti-team, or anti-coach, in all my life. You think it’s funny? Go do your dance at home, or back in Russia, for all I care. You’re benched. And so is anyone who will not learn to take me seriously!
Fro (hanging head) I…I…t-think we have some problems talking.
TM: Oh, blaming it on me now?! Or the language? GO HOME. BAD DOG. VERY BAD DOG.
Fro (very softly): Also, I think now my hip flexor is sore?
TM: GAH!!!
_
(Later)

Rich Hammond: So, Alex, do you understand why you were benched?
Fro (averting eyes): I guess, I mean, I wasn’t a good enough mambo dog.
Rich: Huh?
Fro: Of course I’m disappointed. Any time you have a chance to be out there, of course you want to be. But it’s the coach’s decision. And…I think maybe we have different personalities. I thought the routine was good. But no biscuits for me.
Rich: …
Fro: Inside, I am so sad.

Behind Enemy Lines

I went behind enemy lines last night and went to the Staples Center. Fuck, the Kings are good this season. 4 goals in the 3rd period and just about all of them were from great plays. That arena is pretty much the opitome of LA. It’s crowded, the parking sucks (the parking garage smells like weed), traffic sucks, it’s up beat, and it’s loud. I liked it. Their fans were pretty cool. After the game I watched this guy play some buckets like drums. It was probably one of the best street performances I’ve ever seen. It was nice seeing the Kings beat the Pens after they beat us. I think we can take most of the credit, because we sort of tenderized them on Tuesday. =P

I didn’t catch the Ducks game for obvious reasons. Judging by the score, it looked like a slaughter. Someone fill me in, was it a justified slaughter or were the Preds just playing like shit?

I watched the game on late-night DVR, it wasn’t truly a blowout until late in the 3rd — most of the game was played at 1-0 Ducks.

There was obviously some good — penalty killing was effective, and there was generally good performances from all the forward lines. Some bad — Ducks allowed 40 shots, but it wasn’t that obvious, not a ton of huge Hiller stops.

But it was a crippled Nashville team, sort of like the crippled Vancouver team, and so it’s tough to figure where this puts the Ducks. The Preds definitely had some lapses — when Selanne and Marchant both scored on the same 4-on-4 they were left amazingly alone in front of the Preds’ net.

A win is definitely good, though — can’t take any of these for granted.

There was obviously some good — penalty killing was effective, and there was generally good performances from all the forward lines. Some bad — Ducks allowed 40 shots, but it wasn’t that obvious, not a ton of huge Hiller stops

It’s really nice to see that our PK is developing. I really saw that as a major weakness in all the games we lost. That probably means that our defense is waking up. Nice to hear. =)

Having your computer crash absolutely sucks.

So, what’s happened in the past couple weeks since my computer died? Except for the Kings going 6-0-2 and the Ducks beating Nashville?

Ironically, wouldn’t the person asking/begging to be team captain actually be the worst choice for team captain?
