Happy Canada Day From Maize n Brew
"Canada Day?" you ask. Time for me to educate. On July 1, 1867, the then three portions of the North American continent still under British control were united into what we now know as Canada. While the enactment of the British North America Act was just the first step toward complete independence...
Stars Update: Fistric, Ott Practice as Dallas Gets Back to Work
Kari Lehtonen, pictured above, participated in his first practice on Frisco ice Friday. The Stars returned to the ice in Frisco today and went through a light one hour workout, 4 days before their first game back from the Olympic break. The Olympians already ousted from the games were not there...
Up And (Like a Dinosaur) Roaring To Go (PT)
Player Transactions:- Kyle Calder is out with a broken finger & John Zeiler has been recalled (March 21).- The Kings primary affiliate, the Manchester Monarchs, sign Josh Kidd (D) to an Amateur Tryout Agreement. He was drafted by the Kings in the seventh-round (184th overall) in the 2007 NHL...
Random Excursions & Scary Russian Men
It's funny what happens when you take random excursions during a lunch break. Especially on a random Tuesday, which happened to be today.My friend, we'll call A. until she can think of a nickname, needed to go to this place to buy an item associated with one of Will Ferrell's many characters. So we...
Better Than Nothing: Kings 1, Stars 0 (SO)
So I was pretty much unimpressed with this outing against the Dallas Stars. It was a boring first two periods with the Kings getting only 3 shots on net in the first period! BORING. The offense was no where to be found for the longest time and Jonathan Quick once again stood on his head to keep the...
A Little More Up And Down Action
Firstly, my apologies for the delayed post. My only excuse: Life is getting in the way.*~*~*~*~*Currently the Los Angeles Kings are sitting 8th in the Western Conference with 10 points and are 3rd in the Pacific Division. With 9 games in I'm neither ecstatic nor depressed with the results; the...
March 12th West Playoff Race Update
Only two games were played last night that impacted the Western Conference Playoff race. Chicago 3, Carolina 2 (SO) - The Blackhawks overcame a game tying power goal against from Carolina's Tuomo Ruutu with 26.5 seconds left in regulation to defeat the Hurricanes in the shootout to further...
We Know the Plane Landed in St. Louis on Monday
FlightAware (which is an excellent site if you're an aviation buff like me) confirms that the Stars team plane landed at Lambert at 5:53 after a 70 minute flight from Dallas Love Field.It's probably not a stretch to suggest they got on the bus at the airport, traveled to their team hotel where they...
Kings 5, Stars 4 (OT)
I don't have the words. And I'm sure the rest of you don't, either. The only thing I can surmise is that the Staples Center is just a House of Horrors. Rewind back to November 10th, 2007, when Dallas seemed to have it on cruise control against the Kings up 4-0, only to surrender five goals within...
Fear the Fin? No, Dallas Certainly Doesn't
Especially when in San Jose. Rewind about five years ago on a January night when San Jose was leading the division, Dallas was 7 points back and in danger of missing the playoffs...and they responded by completely shutting down the Sharks in a 3-0 win. Last night's win reminded me of that game....
