This was a poor idea.
Both Polak’s face and pride must be hurt after that right-hand.

All of the people in Los Angeles got Kings tattoos
Posted by Justin Bourne under Los Angeles Kings, Stanley Cup!, Wait What on Sep 11, 2012
Every single person in Los Angeles got a tattoo after the Kings won the Stanley Cup. Not like, a few people. Not a dozen, but like, all of the people who live within the city limits, and most of the people who live in California. At least that’s how it appears.
The great Kings blog “The Royal Half” has a feature up where they compiled all the pics people sent into the LA’s Twitter feed when the Kings requested that people send in shots of their fresh tats. There’s like, a million of them.
I honestly had no idea so many people did this to celebrate sporting wins. At least the Kings have cool colours and a great logo, otherwise this could really be a mess. Read the rest of this entry »
Dustin Brown takes more abuse for maybe not being the sharpest knife in the drawer
Posted by Justin Bourne under Dustin Brown, Dustin Penner, General Hilarity, Los Angeles Kings on Aug 07, 2012
Dustin Penner sent Dustin Brown a tweet yesterday, which Mike Richards took the opportunity to retweet. It was hilarious.
I don’t know what it is about Dustin Brown – maybe it’s the goofy grin, maybe it’s the way he talks, maybe it’s the missing teeth (seriously, put your teeth in already, dude), but he comes off as a little slow at times.
Not like he cares – he just captained the Kings to a Stanley Cup title – but c’mon, this is hilarious. Read the rest of this entry »
The ever-intriguing Dwight King
Posted by Justin Bourne under Dwight King, Features, Los Angeles Kings on Aug 03, 2012
There was a stretch of hockey during the Kings Stanley Cup run, specifically during the Phoenix series, where Dwight King was scoring all teh goalz. He had four in three games, and all the sudden a lot of fans, myself included, found ourselves having a “Wait, who’s that guy” moment.
I laughed him off a bit (I’m sure there’s podcasts that’d back that up), because he’s kinda of a goofy looking, big hulking dude who, at a glance, you would think is an enforcer. I mean, he’s huge.
Still, he kept doing things that made me sit up and take notice in playoffs. If you recall the third goal the Kings scored on their now-infamous Three Goal Powerplay in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final, he comes up the ice with a lot of speed for a guy who’s 6’3″ and some 234 pounds, drives wide, puts the puck under the d-man’s stick (that’s the part that gets me – skills), and gets the puck to the dangerous part of the ice. Then Trevor Lewis puts it home, and King has one of his two assists in the Cup-clinching game. Read the rest of this entry »
Kings give Bernie Nicholls Cup for a day, he makes Field ‘n Stream proud
Posted by Justin Bourne under Hey Neat, Los Angeles Kings, Stanley Cup! on Aug 02, 2012
Bernie Nicholls is one of eight players to ever surpass the 70 goal plateau in a single season, and one of only five plays to notch 150 points in one, as his Twitter bio proudly reminds us.
In 2012 he returned to the place it happened, the Los Angeles Kings organization, to be a coaching consultant, a vague title which likely means “One of our franchise’s biggest names, so we’d like to keep him in the mix.” Nicholls is a ridiculously great guy too, so you can’t fault the Kings for scooping him back up.
Nicholls never won a Stanley Cup during his playing days, but his new front office role with Los Angeles counted enough to get him a day with Lord Stanley.
Naturally, he headed into the woods with it. Read the rest of this entry »
