Happy Hour

Mother, Mother Ocean

Mother, Mother Ocean, I've heard you call
Wanted to sail upon your waters since I was three feet tall
You've seen it all, you've seen it all
Watched the men who rode you, switch from sails to steam
In your belly you hold the treasures, few have ever seen
Most of 'em dream, most of 'em dream
Yes, I am a pirate, two hundred year's too late
The cannons don't thunder, there's nothin' to plunder
I'm an over-forty victim of fate
Arriving too late, arriving too late

Counted the Stars

Counted the stars on the 4th of July
Wishing we were rockets bursting in the sky
Talking about redemption and leaving things behind
I have these pictures and I keep these photographs
To remind me of a time
These pictures and these photographs
Let me know I'm doin' fine
We used to be so happy once upon a time
Once upon a time
But the sun sank west of the Mendocino County Line
And the sun sank west of the Mendocino County Line

Kings are not doing well on this road trip

They got manhandled in Pittsburgh on this road trip.
I am getting a bit concerned about the Kings play on the road.
Yes, I know it is early in the season.
Methinks Darryl Sutter might want to do some shuffling around and perhaps kicking and screaming during practice.
Dallas had the Kings' number last season, taking 2 out of 3.......................
The league website has the following info on the match up.

Kings Acquire Third Round Pick From Oilers For Scrivens; Jones Recalled

The kid did good on his first call up to the Kings. I was wondering when it was going to happen.

I am sorry that Ben Scrivens was traded as he did well also when Jonathan Quick was out injured. Now to get the offense in gear!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kings win the Stanley Cup with a 6-1 victory in Game 6

Big Doings down below in El-Eh tonight.
The Stanley Cup is going to call Staples Center in Los Angeles Home for at least one year.
The Kings won in a very convincing display of offensive hockey tonight. Jonathan Quick was outstanding in goal and won the Conn Smythe Trophy as the Playoff MVP. He went 16-4 in net.

Justin Williams celebrates

And a bit of news as well. Martin Brodeur is not retiring. The Devils goaltender is a real class act and one of the best representatives of the game, our game.

The LA Kings defeat Vancouver

Go Kings!
Jarrett Stoll in OT to give the Los Angeles Kings a 4 games to 1 win in the Western Conference Quarter-Final this evening. Notable as the Kings were the 8 seed and the Canucks were the 1 seed in the West and the President's Trophy Winner for the best record in the regular season. The Kings won all three games in Rogers Arena in Vancouver..........I can hear Don Cherry now!!!!!!!!!!!

Up next are the Saint Louis Blues. This is a classic Second Six Match up as both teams entered the league in the first expansion in 1967.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1967_NHL_expansion 

The Blues eliminated the San Jose Sharks in five games in that series. I am looking forward to this match up. Should be a great series and I like the Kings chances. But I am biased in that ya know.
