The deal has yet to be signed and terms have not been disclosed.

Hmm, maybe he’s just using the Kings for leverage to get a payday from another team on Kovalchuk’s advice. :)

This is the first significant move by the Kings

Significant?

When you compare it to the whole nothing they’ve done so far….

Don’t be hatin’….he’s cute.

Besides, the second he winds up in TM’s doghouse you know you will want to adopt him like a puppy.

I want to ruffle his hair…but then he’d get mad at me, and comb it carefully back into place.

exactly

Because Mama Poni wouldn’t be too happy about ruffled hair.

I wanted him back on the Leafs :(

What would we have to do to get Crosby on the Leafs...?

Yea I thought it would have been nice to have him back. Not meant to be though.

Hey, cheer up, buddy. I’ll buy you a granola bar to cheer you up.

I’m not the smartest guy in the world. I don’t read books or know how "getting pregnant" works. I can’t promise nights filled with intellectual conversation, but if we’re walking past a chain-link fence, you can rest assured that I’m going to try and chew a hole through it.

I wonder if even a Ducks fan could ruin this moment for Rudy

It’s a decent move, but Rudy knows that a Ukranian is no substitute for a Russian.

I’m kidding. Frolov is one of my favorite players. (Datsyuk is another. Even if he is a Red Wing and I hate that.)

One of my favorites is Ily…………..NOOOOOOOO!

by Nut on Jul 28, 2010 9:28 AM PDT up reply actions  

Haha. I’ve never had that feeling. Sorry, man.

Though he’s not Russian, this might also be the time to fess up to my adolescent crush on Lidstrom.

I also liked Deadmarsh when he was an Av. Well, that turned out all right.

My favorite defenseman outside of the Kings is Volchenkov. I really hate the Devils.

Channel it into a pure beam of hate, then. Trust me, you can do a lot with it.

MUAHAHA

Just hope the USSR re-forms so we can call anyone in eastern europe a Soviet so there’ll be no difference between Russia and Ukraine.

On the bright side, he’s not Joffrey Lupul or Jason Blake. Pardon me while I go throw up.

by Snap Wilson on Jul 27, 2010 4:00 PM PDT reply actions  

Jason Blake! If you’re worried now, you would’ve had loved him

Words don’t express how bad this guy sucks. I was hoping he’d go to the KHL and stink up someone else’s team. You know how Wayne Simmonds is awesome in every way? Take the exact opposite of that and you have Alex Ponikarovsky.

Pens fans and Leafs fans seem diametrically opposed.

On the plus side, Rudy’s first post ripping Poni woll no doubt be some of his best work…

We’re trying to cheer him up, here. CHEER.

You’ll grow to love him, just wait

This paves the way for trading for Tomas Kaberle… ugh.

Denis Gauthier sucks at hockey... and life.

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.
