Buy Booze

The Kings are officially eliminated from the playoffs with their loss tonight.

 

A part of me want to say, "Hey, at least we made it to April this year," and another part of me is really fucking depressed that making it to April constitutes a successful season to me.

Cheer up, Rudy. Booze is still pretty fun.

Also on the bright side: your team’s not in Kansas City yet.

I thought LA had a pretty loyal fanbase

Or is this another joke I don’t get

It’s not about the fans, really, but I think the Kings ownership is interested in getting a team to KC. It probably won’t be the Kings, but you never really can tell — they did play a preseason game there last fall.

Even in KC I bet they’re still in the Pacific division.

Nobody cares about your opinion.

How's Manchester doing?

Always hope in them, right?

Nobody cares about your opinion.

Cheer up!!!

This gives you more time to dream about the future, when the Kings may eliminate one of the other California teams from the playoffs. Then the wait will be worth it.

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.
