Kings Gameday: I'm Going to Poll You





So I was texting my brother during the game on Monday (the one against Calgary) and I described Simmonds as a "train made of meat."  He texted back, "You're retarded, that doesn't make any sense; Simmonds is obviously a train that carries meat"  I told him that wasn't intimidating at all, unlike a train physically made of meat.  He said, "Who the fuck would that scare?" and I replied, "I don't know... vegetarians?"   The point is, if we're going full bore with this Meat Train thing, we need to decide this: is he a Train of Meat (stupid), or is he a Meat Train (awesome)?  This is very important.

***

Also important: tonight's game.  The Kings are only 3 points out of first in their division, but Phoenix is only 4 points behind LA.  The Kings are coming off a pretty emotional game but it's important for them to buckle down tonight and play tight defensive hockey.  Most importantly, they need to make sure they're making crisp passes out of their own zone because Phoenix likes to jump in on mistakes any chance they can get.

***

If Sharks fans were mad last night, how mad are they going to be when Patrick Marleau signs with Los Angeles in the off-season?

Prediction: Kings win, 3-2.  Goals by Meat Train, Frolov and Kopitar.

Train made out of meat is more compelling. Plus, if had any bacon bits at all, that would land on a food blog and be their #1 post from now until the end of time.

I did think you were talking about the movie, though. Next stop: death!

That was the racist origin of the nickname, which does give weight to the “Name carrying meat” argument. Counterpoint: that movie was horrible.

P.S. Hey Bro, I love how you are watching real hockey now every text last night you were following along felt like you were right there next to me i even started wrestling my wife until she kicked me in the nads she got sent to the showers for that !!!!!!!

Patrick Marleau is going to win Conn Smythe this summer, will also win silver medal at the Olympics and will then go ahead and resign with San Jose to a long term deal that mirrors Savard’s and has a nice low salary cap hit.

It has to be a train carrying the meat. Anything else would be stupider than a solar powered flashlight. Or stupider than Marleau signing again with the Sharks after their next second round elimination in 2010…

The only shitty thing about tonight was that Phoenix earned a point as well. Damn these 3 point games! It should be Win = 2 points and Loss = 0 points and no goddamned middle ground consolation OT loss point awarded.

And how about 75% of a win if you lose in the bottom of the 9th, because that’s technically not always a necessary inning.

Because I use mouthwash. And sometimes, I floss.

by brokenyard on Dec 11, 2009 4:15 PM PST up reply actions  

Not me — I’d much rather just go back to ties. Standings points earned by playing 5-on-5 regulation are much more meaningful to the postseason than standings points “earned” by 4-on-4 or shootout sideshows, two gimmicks which aren’t featured in the playoffs.

If three point games are the problem, I’d remove the silly “winner’s OT point” before I’d remove the “regulation tie” point — reward the skills that will be useful after the regular season ends.

Drew is fucking awesome. Wish we had that kid.

IMO though, your TV guys need to quit talking about him scoring so much after he changed his blade, somebody is going to call for a measurment and then he might have to switch back to the old blade (did you see the curve on that paddle?)
