Kings Gameday: There's No Time, There's Never Any Time!

Los Angeles Kings at Chicago Blackhawks, Nov 9, 2009 5:00 PM PST




I know there's a lot going on today, what with Luc Robitaille's induction into the Hall of Fame and the Kings playing the Blackhawks tonight and Earl's recent revelation that he's gay, but I'm busy like a bee* and need to do other shit instead of dancing around with cymbals in my hands for your amusement. 

*Are bees busy?  We don't really know what they're doing in that hive.  Maybe they're just hanging out.

Here's a quick recap of the big stories:

-Luc Robitaille is awesome

-Anze Kopitar made Sidney Crosby his bitch

-The Predators made the Kings their bitches

-No one knows if the Kings are good or not yet

-Mambo dog!

Prediction: Kings win, 1-0.  Goal by Luc Robitaille.

My thoughts exactly.

My dad independently forwarded me Mambo Dog — it was so appropriate I laughed and laughed.

Just like that Preds game — guess the Ducks forgot to set that opponent up for ya.

Wait a sec, I already went to that game! Well, it wasn’t the Kings…

In the spirit of Lucky Luc, here’s an old post I wrote about heckling Luc about his (at that point) 599 career goals until he shut us the fuck up with 600.

Rudy -

Just for you, since you are his fan, Frolov gave an interview to Russian press where he discusses details of his conflict with Murray and his benching incident. Here is the link to Google’s translation – link.

Yes. Translation is actually kind of fun – I enjoyed this piece.

I find nearly the whole thing to be entertaining if you picture it as a conversation between two members of Yoda’s Species.

Somehow, the thought of Yoda talking about swine flu is also hilarious.

by Malurous on Nov 9, 2009 10:55 PM PST up reply actions  

Ohhh, thanks for that. I think my favorite part is currently this:

In addition, these leaders have always appreciated that in the locker room during the unsuccessful matches scream krushat all around and pretending faces.

Krushat those emotions more, Alex! Use more pretend face, damn you!

Jeez, made me look. I hadn’t started watching yet — waiting for the roommate to get home — but that scared the heck out of me. Hope I’m not DVR-ing a blank screen!

So I checked — looks as if it has been recording hockey, the Hawks-Kings game. And I’m in Irvine.

I told my boss that I needed to leave work today because the Kings were being shown on Versus Networks’ nationally televised game of the week.

My boss replied that “Versus Network’s nationally televised” was about the biggest oxymoron he had ever heard in the past 9 years…

Hey – at least I haven’t had to use the H1N1 card, yet.

I’m saving that one for the Vancouver Olympics.

Nice Quick...nice...

holy crap Doughty is the best hipchecker in the league.

by 88fingerslukee on Nov 9, 2009 6:05 PM PST reply actions  

I'm not even joking

He has been on a 3 gorgeous hip-checks-per-game streak. Unbelievable.

by 88fingerslukee on Nov 9, 2009 6:07 PM PST up reply actions  

They are great. One of my favorite Doughty quotes ever:

“You kind of have to wait until he’s almost by you, and then just at that right second, you just take that one hard push and get low and make sure you get your butt on him."

That makes me giggle. Because I am five.

Slovakia should stop exporting its adorableness. He totally wants a hug from Kareem, too.

Um, yeah, and that comment below should have been up here, obvs. I might be too tipsy for posting. Part of another grand BoC tradition…?

Yeah, he pulled it off twice early in the season, ever since that…pfft.

Bad clearing play by Johnson on that last one, too. Doh.

Pumper-nicholl!

by Niesy on Nov 9, 2009 7:14 PM PST reply actions  

Ok, so. That third pretty sad. I choose to believe that this is because Luc got in the HOF today, and a Kings fan can’t ever be too happy.

I will console myself by watching his speech and getting misty. Also, is fellow inductee Brett hot for Luc? Methinks yes.

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.
