Kings Gameday: I Just Don't Care Anymore

LA Kings @ Vancouver Canucks

7:00 PST, WHY CAN'T YOU GO TO CANADA YOU SONS OF BITCHES

 

Kings' 4th line tonight:


Ivanans-Harrold-Zeiler

 

Prediction: Whatever.

 

Go to Nucks Misconduct, where they are whipped up into a playoff frenzy.  Huh, wonder what that's like.

You know, one of these years I’m going to have to draw a new cartoon. But for now here’s the one I post every year.

Don’t agonize too much — if all goes according to plan, I should have a much more pro-Kings cartoon tomorrow.

hilarious! but don’t think you’ll be using that too much longer … maybe soon all three Ca teams will make the playoffs … how cool would that be! :)

Ever get the feeling we are on a collision course with reality?

Every year I use it promises to be the last one :)

Like the other years, this cartoon doesn’t make sense since the Kings are the elderstatesmen and the Sharks/Ducks are relatively new. You lack of research betrays your artistic integrity.

That Kings kid is supposed to be Doughty. I don’t really know what I was doing the previous years, to tell the truth.

…u use a lot more vulgar than sleek……

Most of my vulgarity is in French. And most of it is generated by others, directed at me.

Yeah, but it’ll be on off-days and probably non-hockey related.

I think according to likely playoff matchups, the Ducks at least plan on having a lot of these “off-days”.

Probably the Sharks also, but that’s based on previous years. Speaking of which, the “Kings Bedtime” cartoon isn’t the only one I keep using year after year after year. Let’s see if the Sharks get out of their repetitive-joke disorder.

This one isn’t very good, but it’s actually the one that’s made an appearance each year.

Probably Spade is thinking of my golf course cartoon, which is much better but made its debut last year.

by Earl Sleek on Apr 9, 2009 9:14 PM PDT up reply actions  

yea i was thinking of the golf course one…..

hehe..need to make a new one though…somthing more updated….with jumbo joe and marleu references about choking all the time in the playoffs..on top of the sharks

Rudy

The game should be aired at this link. Right now they’re going to air the Flyers/Rangers game but at 7 they’ll air the Kings and Canucks.

Nobody cares about your opinion.

How dare you, sir. Streaming games like that undermines the integrity of our broadcast system and I for one will not take part in it.

shouldn’t have watched

by Nut on Apr 9, 2009 9:30 PM PDT up reply actions  

Prediction: Whatever.

It looks like the Kings shared your enthusiasm. I guess they just want to add to their franchise record for shut-outs. Anything worth doing, is worth doing well…. and they’re setting the bar pretty high for any future teams that want to make a run at this shutout record.

I wish I could say that they were Tanking for a pick, but we all know better…. they dont have to try. This comes naturally…. Damn it. I just wasted about 3 hours of my life. Its nights like tonight that I wish I didnt have Center Ice.

Cheers,
Matt

Not only was it a pathetic display by the Kings, but the Canucks weren’t any better. They only got there one goal after Kopitar held up Sundin’s hand with his chest. And really, they still are playing for something so they should have showed a bit more than that. So it was a horrible game all around. And I wasn’t any better, because I knew it was going to suck, and I still held off watching Survivor and the Office so I could watch this travesty.

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.
