A funny thing happened at the Seahawks game last night. Yes, I said Seahawks, as in football.
Why would I be at football game? Free tickets. Other than that? THIS!
But first, I did not know it was mascot night until there he was, in all his fin-tabulous glory, floundering away on the jumbotron.
Of course, I hotfooted it down to where he was, as any good hockey fan at a football game would.
And just as Mr. Cherrie was about to take the photo, a football shot through the frame …
Fin was there for half-time hijinks! If I wanted to spend the night in jail, I would have run down on the field, tackled him and dry-humped him silly! I can only say the lack of hockey made me go completely insane for anything hockey related.
Luckily, there was security and I was only allowed to get to this close to him.
Who would have thought I would have had a hockey experience at a Seahawks game! Ya just never know!
So I’ve scoured the internet and there is like a BLIP one DD’s day with destiny. If it were, er, um, other hockey players day with Lord Stanley’s cup we’d get a minute by minute count down on what he did while out saving babies and evidently puppies.
So I’ve decided to give the only real account of Drew’s day with the cup and it went as follows because I was there – TRUE STORY – to blog ‘boot it.
First he took me on a romantic tracker drive, just us and the cup after we picked it from the local airport. Love the rolled up jeans and tennies. Totes dreamy!
Then we took in a showing of an interpretive dance, “How Oxmusk bay in mid-day in yonder meadow”. It was fabulous but honestly, I spent most of the time glaring at the cup because it was starting to seriously come between Drew and I. I mean really! Who does that whore think she is? I… I .. ah. Oh. Yeah. It’s THE CUP.
Well, I did get jealous because bitch pulled this move at dinner and the gloves came off!
So my drunk ugly crying face came out like the girls on Bachelor pad because a girl just can’t complete between THE CUP and Stanley Cup winning hockey players attention on his big day. So I wished Drew the best and left him with his shiny toy.
BEST. DAY. EVER! F-YEAH!
GO KINGS! And congrats again on your Stanley Cup winning, record-breaking season! Loved ya in Vancouver!
How have we never not done him? Well, I mean a Foxy Friday at least? Cause I’ve .. well. Anywho.
My pretty pony …
Hot mess of hockey hair goo-goo-goodness is EVERYTHING a Foxy Friday should be and more. If a picture speaks a 1000 words then it’s a wonder the internet hasn’t exploded when a picture of this man is uploaded because when his parents conceived him that egg said not only “yes, yes, yes”, I mean “oui, oui, oui” but that sperm had to have broken land speed records getting in there.
What? These guns? I’m a peaceful man … but DO. NOT. CROSS. ME.
He’s Pittsburgh’s workhorse but he’s not afraid to mix it up.
Ovi has a crush on him too – and who wouldn’t? I think pretty much all hockey players would put Kris at the top of all their lists.
Excuse me guys, can I just squeeze in between you two for my dream sandwich?
I could pick his skate-gate out a 100 hockey player’s because it’s about as beautiful as his hair!
Watching him skate backwards SHOULD BE AN OLYMPIC SPORT – just sayin’ – it’s already an ALL-STAR GAME spectacle
I love summer because the thought of Kris being shirtless somewhere hot, keeps me going until I can see him on the ice come fall!
This is SOOOOOOO last summer Kris. Come on …. cut us girls a break.
We usually tout the Foxy Friday’s NHL prowess in the post but he’s already got the Stanley Cup, been nominated for a Norris Trophy, been robbed a couple of years by NOT being nominated, and yet, I think they are just jealous.
Lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me … ok – Bon Jovi, I am not.
A guy who is this damn good-looking, can skate backwards with rainbows flowing all around him and lay a punch on you, make you see unicorns fly over head only to have you thank him after he’s scored on you both ON AND OFF THE ICE – is truly the FOXIEST guy in the NHL.
If any of you have watched NBC’s Post Game wrap-up, then you know Other-Brother-Darryl needs to take that sh*t on the road! Because having handled talent and sat through countless hours of interviews and seen press chewed up and spat out by the best, Other-Brother-Darryl ranks right up there only he is god damn funny about it.
Saturday night Drew Doughty went from an over-priced, cry-baby, cheese-burger eating hold out to a Rocket Man shooting lazers out his ass and smacking Devils like he was at a carnival and Brown was taunting him with a donut for each one he could take out!
Clearly Drew is VERY motivated! That’s my boyfriend!
Even though each game has gone into OT, the LA KINGS have shown they can re-group when it matters and pull it out. For the GW – it was Pancakes for the block on Brodeur and Carter came in on the blocker side. You totally know Richards and Carter made sweet love on the 6 hour flight back to Los Angeles and ravaged the mini bar to boot!
The Kings now have the NHL record of 10 road wins in the post-season. But they don’t do well at home. So tonight Magic Cat is wishing you the best of luck boys!
My cats have banned me from the TV. Osiris Jones actually mews at anyone who swears. True Story. And there was a ton of it tonight. I swear like a sailor and many of Mr. Cherrie’s friends think I learned it from him but actually, I taught him pretty much everything he knows. My grandfather worked on the railroad in the Great Depression.
Winner, Winner, Pancake Dinner!
I told Mr. Cherrie when the game went into O.T. Pancakes was going to get the GWG. He just rolled his eyes at me since everyone was calling it the Radim Vrbata show.
I only wish I had this much time on my hands ….
And Drew Doughty was a man on fire and I have officially decided he has earned his own version of the Gordie Howe Hat Trick – THE DREW DOUGHTY HAT TRICK: he shoots a GOD D#$M LAZER ROCKETbut someone else taps, touches, directs, goes off their skate, pad, face or otherwise touches the pucks so he only gets the assist on an otherwise masterful shot. But that’s OK because he’s one cool cat and a goal is a goal.
The win didn’t come without controversy when Brown took out Rozsival with a devastating hit and a penalty wasn’t called because the Coyotes were off-sides. Just after Rozsival was taken off the ice, LA scored and the hand shake line was less than cordial with the classy Coyotes fan throwing crap on to the ice.
Pancake’s interview after the game was self-deprecating referring to Quick as Mr. Vezina-Smyth. He also said that he was going to enjoy this trip to the Stanley Cup more than the last.
Stat Girl has a few things to tease your brain with:
LA KINGS are the first 8th seed EVER to dispatch the 1st, 2nd and 3rd seed teams.
LA KINGS have broken the NHL record with 8 straight road wins in a play-off season.
LA KING have broken the NHL record with 10 straight road wins in consecutive seasons.
So a BIG WUYS congratulation LA KINGS! Here’s to your second trip ever to the Stanley Cup Finals.
um .. did I say Ugly? nah .. I’d take a ride into the boards with these guys ANY DAY!
Last night’s game was like the first episode of The Bachelorette. 25 suitors vying for one slightly used but marginally OK single mom.
LA’s Dennis the Menace
Not a lot of rough stuff – Shane Doan with yet another penalty, a few taunts, a couple of chest puffs but all in all, a tight game with one impression rose – Dwight King – I’m looking at you – Rookie Stand out with his 5th goal and Game Winner! Short side – high glove – like a goal scorer.
It wasn’t either team’s best game but the Kings still came out on top. Which begs the question: Come Saturday – will the Coyotes bring it or will they be swept and wept?
Kopi’s not ready for summer yet!
Not that I like to rub salt in a wound but at this point, I’m about records and captions and I’m dying to use: uno, dos, adiós….
The Kings devastated the Coyotes last night in more ways than one. The Coyotes bit back and not in a nice way. I was going to take the high road in this post and talk about how adorable Antoine Vermette was in his pre-game interview but then the Coyotes took a page from the Penguin’s book of Poor Sports and all this happened:
Shane Doan takes Trevor Lewis’ face for a wipe board. OK- he did turn but a delayed penalty had already been called for slashing on BROWN so all Doan needed to do was reach for the puck – not take Lewis’ face for a ride. He got thrown out which was appropriate – IN MY OPINION.
Mike Smith slashes Dustin Brown in the back of the knees. They get MATCHING penalties because the ref thinks Brown is embellishing – HELLO! Anyone who gets the craps smacked out of the back of their knees with a goalie stick by a 6’3” MONSTER isn’t embellishing ANYTHING.
As one commentator said, “If that was acting, it’s some of the best to come out of Hollywood in years!”
Then Hanzal decides ride Brown into the boards like a whore on Saturday night. Fellas, I get it, you’re frustrated. You got your asses handed to you by an 8th seed team for a second night. But this is UNACCEPTABLE.
Then – my favorite of the night – Dustin “Pancakes” Penner decides enough is enough and when a scrum breaks out to quell it, he just sits on Antoine Vermette. Awesomesauce. Nothing says shut your face like a 6’ 4” manbeast sitting on your lame ass.
Oh did I mention that Jeff Carter, man of the hour, got a natural hat trick? The first one for the Kings in the play-offs since – oh – Wayne Gretzky in 1993? Yeah … that happen too last night!
HAPPY SUTTER/ANGRY SUTTER
OH WHAT A NIGHT! Feel good about that one guys. Mad respect for your play. But I knew that –
Dawn – you are so funny. Calling me to wish me good luck tonight!
So the LA King’s have lost only one play-off game so far … No, that is not a typo. ONE.
This is what you want from your captain – A COMPLETE BEAST!
Coach Dave Tippett of the Coyotes, seems to be the only other person on the planet besides me, the only LA KINGS fans (OK – I know there are like – four of us) who know how AWESOME they are and should FEAR their AWESOMENESS.
The press conference after game one went pretty much like this:
Kopitar NEVER gives up on a puck – NEVER
Press person: Coach, how do you think Kopitar was able to blah blah…
Tippett: I didn’t give a F**K about Kopitar. I have to worry about my players and how they perform.
Press person: So when Brown did blah blah blah …
Tippett: I don’t give a F**K about Brown. I have to worry about my players and how they perform.
Press Person: So when they scored again in the second period …
Tippett: Maybe you didn’t hear me the second time, I have to don’t give a F**K about the LA KINGS right now, I have to worry about my players and the fact that they didn’t perform tonight. Any more questions? Alright. Thanks.
GO KINGS! KEEP BEING UNDER-RATED – RIGHT UP UNTIL YOU WIN THE CUP!
OK – SRSLY – I am so watching Tampa Bay now. Where have you been – Mr. Under the Radar.
I’m in love AGAIN! But that’s OK. It happens all the time. Y’all are used to it by now. With the hunt for Lord Stanley in full swing the rest of the World has this going on.
Look closely for the dancing ping pong players circling in the background. There are better things I can think of doing with those balls boys – just sayin’ if I was there.
Why can’t this get spread out … like over summer when there is a HUGE DROUGHT OF NOTHINGNESS going on?
Somewhere is Sweden there is a hotel packed to the gills with this hot mess happening (link). Varför kan inte detta vara mig på Viktor Hedmans knä?
Hey Shane, no need to get angry .. you’re moving on in the series but staying in Phoenix! You just won the Lottery!
For those of you keeping count, last night the Jawas sent Chewie and the Ewoks packing.
Ya just can’t mess with the force – dude.
I think there was a grand disturbance in the force when Chewie tapped into the dark side and smashed Hans Solo’s head into the boards in an earlier series and sometimes karmic galactic payback is a bitch.
Chewie will now be able to make it back to Kashyyyk in time to celebrate Life Day.
You shall not move … I command it.
The Jawas also found out from Palpatine, Lord of the Sith and Emperor of the Galactic empire, they will more than likely be staying in the desert. Details of the contract are still under wraps but my sources tell me it includes the souls of the all the incoming new players first-born girls (because ya know, they need the boys for future hockey players) and all the retirees in a 250 mile area. That should keep Lord Vader fed for a few more years.
Lord Vader Shanahan needs souls to keep doling out his brand of justice
That’s good news for Phoenix!
So now the Conference Finals are set for the West Coast – Phoenix vs. LA Kings.
