Kings Gameday: Yo Baby Girl, Peep This Post

Kings vs. Edmonton, 1 PM


When my roommate played at Staples Center last week, they gave him an autographed picture of a Kings player.  Cool.  The player was Jack Johnson.  Not cool.  He has stupid highlights in his hair and he's trying to look tough while completing a slap shot, but the worst part is the nickname assigned to him on the top of the page.  The nickname?  J.J.  It's actually quite perfect if you think about it; Johnson looks like the "bad boy" from a boy band, so why not call him J.J.?

 

So that naturally got me thinking, who else would be in this theoretical boy band?

Drew Doughty is... The Heartthrob!

The meal ticket and the leading man.  He's getting the best solos and driving ticket sales.  He's the one who makes me swoon.  He'll eventually go solo and become world famous.  Comparable: Justin Timberlake

Jack Johnson is... The Bad Boy!


I guarantee you Jack Johnson walks around with his shirt unbuttoned at least 50% of the time.  I'm less confident that he says things like, "Hey Girl," and "Ya dig," but I sure wouldn't be surprised.  Comparable: Donnie Wahlberg

Star-divide

Oscar Moller is... The Cute One!

I'm pretty sure Oscar Moller is the physical manifestation of, "Awww..."  I just really want to give him a belly rub.  He could murder my entire family and I would still offer him milk  and cookies.  He's adorable, is what I'm trying to say.  Comparable: Nick Carter

Dustin Brown is... The Nerdy One!

The nerdy one is the one liked by that fat girl in high school, the same one that never talks until you mention anime to someone else and then she shows you her Naruto trapper keeper and she won't stop until you make some comment about how she's weird and then she'll get quiet and you'll feel kind of bad.  Basically, Dustin Brown is the random one and you can't quite understand why here's there.  Maybe he sings tenor or some shit, I don't know.  Plus, he apparently hates fat girls.  Comparable: One of those weird guys with facial hair.

Raitis Ivanans is... The Older Brother!

This one doesn't make sense, I just have this idea in my head of 4 douche bags prancing around while Ivanans stands in the middle looking angry.  He'll be the one who raps right before the big build-up at the end of the song.  Comparable: Nick Jonas.  Is it Nick?  I don't know, the virgin.

Prediction: Kings win, 3-2.  People still clamor for Jonathan Bernier, mostly because he looks like he should be in a French Canadian boy band.  They could be called Vagin Mouiller.

Good stuff…

I guess it works for these guys since they’re young enough to be in a boy band.

And really, Oscar looks like he is in one. Doughty looks too much like TImberlake.

Denis Gauthier sucks at hockey... and life.

Everything sucks except for the Sharks.

Kings’ first hit single?

Girl you are the Stanley cup of my heart
Will we be together
If we always let Quick start
Or will we be forever apart (falsetto, rip off shirt in front of wind machine in music video)

….tried to think of more and decided to keep the remaining scraps of my dignity instead

Also, all due respect to Doughty, but he’s a bit chubby to be the heart throb. They’re supposed to be kind of chiseled, right?

True, he probably has never been able to do that.

You guys have to lose if you want to play the Sharks in the first round! Trust me, it’s totally easy because they choke! You don’t even have to beat them or anything!

I cannot fucking understand Terry Murray’s shootout strategy, for the life of me. I CANNOT UNDERSTAND THIS.

by Niesy on Apr 10, 2010 3:45 PM PDT up reply actions  

Oh, wait. Didn’t he say once that he liked putting in Smyth against his former teams? That cannot possibly fucking matter more than having Kopitar top three.

At least I finally got my Handzus wish. Terry giveth, and he taketh away.

If we play Vancouver because Terry Murray let Smyth shoot over Kopitar I’m going to hunt him down and talk quite sternly towards him

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.
