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.

Oh, it’s fantastic if you’re willing to sludge through it. I think I’m dropping the term “neutral zone” from my vocabulary for this beauty:

This model is close to nyudzhersiyskomu trap?

Yes, actually Google struggled with a simple hockey term – “New Jersey trap”

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.

In California, the swine flu also wanders?
Professional athletes, you know, viruses do not need.

Lol, just kidding. This post was a complete lie.

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

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!

Hey, is it true that the Versus feed is blacked out in LA?

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.

Yeah, it turns out some people are caught up in the DirectTV dispute thing. I’m good too. Whew.

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…

You admitted you were leaving early to watch sports?

Lol, just kidding. This post was a complete lie.

by brokenyard on Nov 9, 2009 9:50 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

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   0 recs

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   0 recs

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.

That would make you the BoC commentor first in line for a AARP membership, I believe.

Ok, in honor of our beautiful goal-scorer:

Is that because of Anze’s unkept fingernails or his Slovenian vestigial furry tail?

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 that was weak. Quick is not good at pokechecks.

by Nut on Nov 9, 2009 7:09 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

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   0 recs

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.
