Kings Gameday: The Worst Play in Hockey History

by RudyKelly on Mar 16, 2009 2:51 PM PDT

Los Angeles Kings (.500) vs. Nashville Predators (uhh... .700?)

7:30 PST, Fox Sports Prime Ticket

Let's see...

Joe Pavelski- Ill-advised pinch at the blue line when he was the last line of defense.

Joe Thornton- Goes for a new stick after his breaks without looking around at all to see where the puck was

San Jose Bench- Didn't help Thornton keep an eye on the puck, allowing a 2-on-0 on their goaltender

Dustin Brown- Takes the middle of the ice, making Kopitar think he's going to go in alone; telegraphing pass after he's taken Kopitar out of the play; softly chipping the puck to Kopitar, allowing Nabokov a chance to square up against Kopitar; going behind the goal line after his pass, not allowing Kopitar a chance to get the puck back to him for an easy tap-in. Basically, Dustin Brown fucked up a lot.

Anze Kopitar- Getting drafted by this miserable shit team

Evgeni Nabokov- Nothing, he did fine, although that's like giving the police credit when they caught this guy. Sure, they did their job, but their opponent sure made it a whole lot easier.

The clip doesn't show it, but there was a hilarious moment after this play where they showed Kopitar looking at Brown with a, "Dude, what the fuck?" expression while Brown stared straight ahead, as if to say, "I know, shut the fuck up."

***

This game should just about finish the Kings' playoff hopes. After this, the Kings play 6 straight games on the road against Boston, PIttsburgh, Chicago, St. Louis, Dallas and Nashville. I don't think the Kings will finish above .500 this season.

***

The Great Wayne Simmonds Nickname Challenge will be up later in the week, but right now the leaders in the clubhouse are:

-Cool Runnings

-The Wayne Train

-Homer Simmonds

-Cinnamon(ds)

-Sloppy

-*sigh Chocolate Thunder

Prediction: Kings win, 4-3. Goals by Frolov, Handzus, Doughty and Stoll. Dustin Brown fucks up a 3-on-0 when his hockey pants fall down around his ankles. He says, "Fuck this," and leaves.

Damn, it’s already on YouTube. The Kings officially suck.

Evgeni Nabokov- Nothing, he did fine, although that’s like giving the police credit when they caught this guy.

I’m concerned that I feel you’ve had that page bookmarked.

Dustin Brown fucks up a 3-on-0 when his hockey pants fall down around his ankles. He says, “Fuck this,” and leaves.

Which would make all the females in attendance happy, I’m sure. He has a big… well, y’all remember.

And, guess what… I’M GOING TO THIS MOTHER-FUCKING GAME!!! I haven’t been to Staples Center since that sad loss to Tampa on January 12. I’m still pissed nobody went after Artyukhin for that hit on Doughty, by the way. But anyway, only game I’ve been to for the past couple months was that great game with Sleek at Honda Center.

So, since the Kings won that game, I’m naturally gonna wear the Robitaille jersey I wore that night. As Sleek put it: “I am never, ever a guy who will complain about the life, career, or jersey of a certain Lucky Luc.” (scroll down to the 9th comment)

Fuck you, Denis Gauthier. You deserved that 5-game suspension.

I can’t think of another team in the history of the NHL that could fuck that play up. Sad. Looks like Lucy is pulling the old football out from Charlie Brown again.

Rudy,

No love for Chocolate Thunder? C’mon, it’s better than Wayne Train and at least it’s (mildly) funnier and it’s waaaaaaay less gay than Cinnamon. Also, if you or anyone thinks it sounds even slightly racist I apologize as that wasn’t my intention. Chocolate Thunder… yeah… say it loud with me… yeah… nevermind, that sounds completely racist. Excuse me while I go punch myself in the face for disrespecting St. Wayne.

Knowing most NHL players, his nickname is “Simmondsy”. They’re a creative bunch, I tell you what.

by ievans on Mar 16, 2009 4:48 PM PDT up reply actions

Or “Simmer.”

It’s not racist, I guess, I just don’t see why a black guy always has to have a name that references that he’s black. White guys never need to reference their color in their nicknames. I mean, look at my nickname, “The Alabaster Queer…” wait, that’s a poor example.

Pretty good example if you ask me. Which you did.

by James Mirtle on Mar 17, 2009 12:14 AM PDT up reply actions

The only reason the black guy is noted for being black is that being black is more uncommon, especially in hockey. Now if we were talking about Africa’s Continental Hockey Team, that probably wouldn’t be the case. We would note any white guys on the team and give them funny nicknames about their whiteness.

Nobody cares about your opinion.

Fair enough. You did spell it out in your original post after all that you didn’t want “Black _”. What was the Superfriend’s name that could shoot electricity and lightning bolts at foes? Oh yeah, Black Falcon. When I think of lightning storms I immediately think of falcons… big, black ones. Weird.

Wasn’t the Green Lantern black?

I never understood that.

Not since Seth Rogen will be playing him, he won’t be.

Nobody cares about your opinion.

Are you sure you’re not talking about Seth Rogan as The Green Hornet?

Just leave Heidi Androl alone!

by DodgerBlueBalls on Mar 17, 2009 1:35 PM PDT up reply actions

My thought process

Green Lantern –
The Green Hornet –
Kato –
Bruce Lee –
Game of Death –
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar –
Hakim !

Wayne “Hakim” Simmonds
too obscure?

I'm a happy seal

by SwisherThresher on Mar 17, 2009 2:13 PM PDT up reply actions

How rad would it be then...

If the Kings resigned Eric Belangier??? Then you could have “Eric B & Hakim” on the same team!

Just leave Heidi Androl alone!

Oh yeah, I am stupid.

Nobody cares about your opinion.

by brokenyard on Mar 17, 2009 4:57 PM PDT up reply actions

Depends upon which Green Lantern you're talking about

There are a LOT of Green Lanterns.

You know what? Fuck you Sports Gods, fuck you.

Chocolate thunder reminds me of this:

Probably NSFW if your boss disapproves of “naughty” language
