By
May 23, 2012

LAT (Helene Elliott) – Watching Kings’ Run Has Been Great for Gretzky “It’s been unreal what they’ve done and what they’ve accomplished so far,” Wayne Gretzky said Wednesday. “It’s been unreal for the organization and it’s been great for hockey in California and L.A. We live in L.A., so we’re seeing it first-hand...

Anything’s better than Mike Emerick’s knifing and regathering. The CBC is planning some counter-programming for female non-hockey fans who might be forced to tune into the Stanley Cup final next week. Viewers can go online to listen to an alternate commentary from Lena Sutherland and Jules Mancuso, who run WhileTheMenWatch.com. They describe their site...

Marty McSorley says Kings never accepted him

“Was I using an illegal stick? Yes, I was . They came from the factory that way. I used the same stick in the next game and tied Game 4 with what might have been the same stick."

Why? Are you an idiot?

Doan got a game misconduct last night

By
May 23, 2012

It was a Shane Doan we never saw before.

Bitter. Frustrated. Unhinged.

“I bit my tongue this whole series,” he said. “This whole series.”

The Phoenix Coyotes’ magical season came to an end Tuesday at Jobing.com Arena and it was hard for the captain to bow out gracefully.

Just saying. What comes around, etc... And all of that talk about diving -- remember that? That was your previous complaint, before the conspiracy complaint. Makes me wonder:

By
May 23, 2012

The Yotes have been feeding for so long on the fact that they have been on the verge of bankruptcy, legal troubles, one foot out the door to other cities, playing in empty arenas -- using all of that as a rallying cry -- that their sense of persecution has become an ingrained and...

Right, because attempting to decapitate a player who doesn't have the puck is the same thing has a shoulder check to the puck-carrier's body. Hey, the ref's almost cost the Kings the game (see Doughty penalties) but they didn't.

Stick a fork in me, I’m Doan! (post-game bullets)

By
May 22, 2012

  • I'm pretty sure Terry Murray would have benched Penner after the first period of this game. Sutter did not.
  • Only one coach has knocked out the first three seeds in the first three rounds of the playoffs, and he's done it twice.
  • Dustin Brown check on Roszival. Sorry, Phoenix, that's not a knee-on-knee check.
  • Note to Phoenix...
