Bowlby!
Rob Blake's full name is Robert Bowlby Blake.Bowlby.His middle name is BOWLBY. B.O.W.L.B.Y."Hey, nice stop out there Bowlby." "Good ol' Bowlby, how's it going, Bowlby?" "Been bowling lately, Bowlby?" (This is the point where he'd kill me, and my dying words would be, "Damn you... Bowlby...")This is...
That Ref's a Jackass
For all the complaints that we’ve heard about the Kings not having any fire, Rob Blake sure isn’t getting any credit for letting his inner Bowlby come out. This didn’t bother me at first, but the more I think about that Phoenix game and Blake's ejection the more pissed I get. Personally, I think...
Kings Gameday: Let's Talk Lines
Los Angeles Kings (12-16-2, Last in West) @ Chicago Blackhawks (14-13-2, 12th in West)5:30 PST, FSN WestI love messing with lines. When I’m bored in class or at a funeral I’ll usually tinker with the Kings’ line-ups from the past, trying to figure out if Vitali Yachmenev’s career could have been...
Kings Gameday: Stupid Noon Games
Los Angeles Kings (12-24-2, eep!) @ Colorado Avalanche (21-14-2, 5th in West)Here I was, all ready to write a big post examining why the Kings have played so poorly this season (short version: they're awful at everything), but I forgot the game was at noon today. Whoops! Anyway, the Kings are...
Let's Make a Deal
Dear Detroit and Ottawa:Hey Detroit, what’s up? Ottawa, how’s it hanging? Heatley’s arm, I mean. I’ve been thinking a lot about this upcoming post-season (Yeah, yeah, why would a Kings’ fan worry about the post-season?) and I think you guys could use a little help. I know what you’re thinking, why...
Kings Gameday: Is This Irony?
LA Kings (*flush) vs. Phoenix Coyotes (30-25-4, 10th in West)7:30 PST, FSN WestIrony is a difficult thing to diagnose. I can never tell if it really is irony or if it's just coincidence. So, you'll have to tell me:Rob Blake demands a trade at the trade deadline in 2001 and the fans hate him for it...
The Fatuous Four
The Kings Madness competition is now down to its final four. There have been upsets, buzzer beaters and heartbreak so far, but now it's serious, folks. Here are my original predictions and here are the final match-ups:Wayne Gretzky vs. Luc RobitailleHoly shit. This is basically the Western...
#4 is Up For Grabs
So Rob Blake has signed a 1-year deal with the San Jose Sharks. If you've read here for a while (all 5 of you), you'll know I've defended him many times here on this site. If you don't want to read past blog posts (and God knows I wouldn't), the basic gist was this: Blake showed loyalty to his...
Random Pacific Questions: How Many Games Should Ivanans Play?
Raitis Ivanans is a cyborg from Latvia who, according to Wikipedia, "...is considered an enforcer because he likes to hurt people with his rock hard fists." It's on Wikipedia, you know it's true. Still, Ivanans is not the greatest hockey player in the world. He's good for an enforcer, but when...
