BoC Gameday -- SoCal Collision Course

Anaheim Ducks (27-23-7, t-10th in west) at Los Angeles Kings (34-19-3, 5th in west), 7:30 pm
Anaheim Calling and Jewels From The Crown -- damn separatists.

(Author's note -- I'm putting the "Remembering Jiggy" theme aside for a day, but definitely more to come.  It would have been relevant had the Ducks and Kings ever shared any playoff history, but unfortunately we know how that goes: there can be only one!)

Shockingly big game tonight.  Kings have won seven games in a row and 12 of their past 16.  Ducks have won three in a row and 11 of their past 15.  I can't remember a time when these two teams played a game with that kind of mutual momentum going into it.

Spadekingstreaking_medium
Guest cartoon by Spade -- this one's epic.

Of course, the Ducks are still a league-worst 3-11-2 within their own division (0-7-0 within the BoC) and an impressive 24-12-5 against non-Pacific foes.  It's not a stretch to think that with only 25 games remaining on the Anaheim schedule, the four remaining against the Kings (including tonight) really could make or break Anaheim's attempt to climb into the playoff picture.  And I'm fairly certain that the Kings relish any opportunity to stomp that hope out.

Critter Battle of the Night: Jason Blake vs. Anze Kopitar.

Prediction: Of course epic BoC games only can happen on Thursday nights, so I won't be around tonight until the latter half of the third  -- play nice in the game comments.  Oh, and as for a prediction?  I'll take the safe route -- Spade and his brother get hammered.

Go Ducks.

nevermind I google image searched at Man at Arms only had a moustache not a full beard. I guess it looks more like He-Man with a beard. I’ll shut up now.

by Nut on Feb 4, 2010 10:05 AM PST up reply actions  

I don’t remember the He-Man storyline properly — did He-Man have a dad, the King of Eternia?

Because if that’s so, I totally see how that could have been the source.

Can’t think of a more important game in the history of the Kings/Ducks rivalry, and it’s one of those games where I’m glad I’m a season ticket holder………

FUCK!!!! I have a calculus test tonight :( Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck!

I’ll be able to watch the second half of the game on TV, but I won’t have enough time to make it at all. To compensate, I bought tickets to the game on Monday at Honda Center (anybody else going?)

True, but I think this game is much more important to the Ducks than the Kings at this point. Not that we’re out of the woods, but you guys aren’t in the woods yet. It probably won’t happen but I would love for someone to cripple Bobby Ryan tonight. Ok, maybe not cripple, but at least give him a throat chop ala Evil John Locke to Richard Alpert.

by Nut on Feb 4, 2010 10:24 AM PST up reply actions  

I’m stunned that I could follow that “Lost” reference, seeing as this week was essentially my debut.

Yeah, for sure — Ducks need the points, Kings would like ‘em, but don’t discount the thrill of denying a team points when they need ’em — Kings for sure enjoy that.

I was thinking about throwing a targeted-B-Ry comment in my prediction, but I don’t know — Kings seem kind of level-headed. It might come up, and it might depend on what the scoreboard looks like.

Definitely could be a storyline, though.

I was thinking the Kings would take a retarded penalty in some misguided attempt at revenge for Ryan’s penalty in the last game, but then I thought, “Wait, that sounds like something the Ducks would do.” So I don’t think anything’s going to happen.

Hockey applied to real life! Points in October matter just as much as points in March.

Or whatever the school-semester-month equivalent is.

Yeah, but like hockey, games in March are more important/relevant than games in October.

I don’t know why both of these are so funny to me, they just are.

Joke for Spade because his work blocks vids:
The teacher gave her fifth grade class an assignment… Get their parents to tell them a story with a moral at the end of it.

The next day the kids came back and one by one began to tell their stories.

Ashley said, "My father’s a farmer and we have a lot of egg-laying hens.

One time we were taking our eggs to market in a basket on the front seat of the car when we hit a big bump in the road and all the eggs went flying and broke and made a mess."

“What’s the moral of the story?” asked the teacher.

“Don’t put all your eggs in one basket!”

“Very good,” said the teacher.

Next little Sarah raised her hand and said, "Our family are farmers too. But we raise chickens for the meat market.

We had a dozen eggs one time, but when they hatched we only got ten live chicks, and the moral to this story is, “don’t count your chickens before they’re hatched.”

“That was a fine story Sarah. Michael, do you have a story to share?”

“Yes, my daddy told me this story about my Aunt Karen.

Aunt Karen was a flight engineer in the Gulf War and her plane was hit.

She had to bail out over enemy territory and all she had was a bottle of whisky, a machine gun and a machete.

She drank the whisky on the way down so it wouldn’t break and then she landed right in the middle of 100 enemy troops.

She killed seventy of them with the machine gun until she ran out of bullets.

Then she killed twenty more with the machete until the blade broke. Then she killed the last ten with her bare hands."

“Good heavens,” said the horrified teacher, “what kind of moral did your daddy tell you from that horrible story?”

“Stay the fuck away from Aunt Karen when she’s been drinking”

I see a little silhouetto of a man 
Scaramouch, Scaramouch, will you do the Fandango 
Thunderbolt and lightning, very, very frightening me 
(Galileo) Galileo (Galileo) Galileo, Galileo Figaro 
Magnifico-o-o-o-o 
I'm just a poor boy nobody loves me 
He's just a poor boy from a poor family 
Spare him his life from this monstrosity 

Easy come, easy go, will you let me go? 
Bismillah! No, we will not let you go 
Let him go 
Bismillah! We will not let you go 
Let him go 
Bismillah! We will not let you go 
Let me go (Will not let you go) 
Let me go (Will not let you go) (Never, never, never, never) 
Let me go, o, o, o, o 
No, no, no, no, no, no, no 
(Oh mama mia, mama mia) Mama Mia, let me go 
Beelzebub has the devil put aside for me, for me, for me!

I just realized why both Cam Fowler and Emerson Etem dropped so far in the draft...

Just look at the shirts those two are wearing.
