idiocy Stories - Maize n Brew
Seriously, Dave. You're Killing Us.
I'm not going to take too long a time to write this, because it's just too disheartening. I like Dave Trembley. I think he's a good guy. More than that, I think he generally has control of this team: the players like him, they hustle for him (for the most part), he has handled controversy well. He...
Maize n Brew's 2009 Guide to Livin, Chapter 37: How to Irritate the Hell out of an SEC Fan
Thar be satire and profanity herein, so of those of you with sensitive sensibilities and/or no sense of humor, you may wish to really should forgo this post. The offseason is a long, dark time. So sometimes we like to poke a hornets nest with a very short stick. This is one of those occasions....
The Quack and the Dead
I was watching The Quick and the Dead the other day and noticed that the characters in it resembled many of this year’s playoff contenders. (Well, not really, but you try writing something when your team isn’t playing. Dick.) If you haven’t seen The Quick and the Dead, it concerns a quick-draw...
Something That's Bothering Me...
For the first time since 2000, I’m feeling optimistic about this Kings team. There’s good young talent at every position and there’s a general manager in place that I trust. There’s just one thing about the Kings that’s bothering me: not many of them look like hockey players. The Kings probably...
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...
Can Someone Explain to Me...
...what this quote by Marc Crawford from over at Inside the Kings means?"Right now we are not at the top of our game in that one crucial category, which is most crucial of all -- difference making and wanting make difference."What? What the hell does that mean? I like thinking that Crawford...
Anze Iscariot!
You may not know this (I hide it well), but I don't like the Anaheim Ducks. I wouldn't go so far as to call it hate... well, yeah, I kinda would. So imagine my shock, my horror, when I read this quote in today's L.A. Times:"We actually became good friends," [Kopitar] said Sunday. "It doesn't really...
Kings Gameday: That Seemed Pointless
LA Kings (Oof!) @ New York Islanders (24-21-6, 8th in Eastern Conference)4:00 PST, FSN WestLast year the New York Islanders were fighting for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. In order to secure that spot, they traded Robert Nilsson, Ryan O'Marra, and their first round...
What I Don't Understand
As we try to distract ourselves from Richard Zednik's neck wound (and to think, all these years I've been making fun of Alexei Yashin for wearing a turtleneck), I was thinking about things in hockey I don't understand. Everyone, whether they're newcomers or seasoned veterans of the game, have at...
Kings Gameday: That Doesn't Make Sense
LA Kings (poop) vs. Calgary Flames (29-20-8, 6th in West)7:30 PST, FSN WestSo on Wednesday, the Kings sent down Matt Moulson and Peter Harrold. That's okay, they've been playing well and everything, but there's no point in having them up if Blake and Nagy are ready to go. They are ready to go,...
