Los Angeles Kings goaltender Jonathan Quick during warmup prior to a National Hockey League game.
So far into this very young season, the L.A. Kings have won one game and lost two. I’ve been reading up on the team and the consensus is they have not yet lived up to their potential, given all we’ve been hearing about how “strong” and “deep” their team is this year. In last night’s game, the third in the season, Ilya Kovulchuk of the New Jersey Devils dominated the ice, but the Philly factor came into play when Simon Gagne scored for the Kings, and loss or not, our goalie Jonathan Quick is awesome.
My biggest question is do all hockey fans panic after only three games (one of which the Kings won), or is that just this team? I looked it up and there’s somewhere around 80 more games to be played. I’m willing to give them a chance, but what do I know, I’m a newbie.
It was obvious that this Kovalchuk character brought high energy to the ice and dominated the game last night, while the Kings started well but then petered out at the end. I searched around to try to find out why, and learned – read more -

LOL! Yes, all hockey fans do this. In fact, its kind of a joke that sometimes we want players traded or such and the season hasn’t even started yet! 3 games and well, you know, season over.
Actually, we always panic. Its part of being a fan.
I need to address something on a future article. Maybe this weekend. When you say we have lost 2 games and won one, you are actually not correct. Wrong! We are 1-1-1. One win, One loss and one ot loss. It all has to do with points earned and placement in the division, etc.
Also, when speaking of Kovalbutt, we never refer to him in the positive. Just a Kings fan tip. maybe I should write something about tips for Kings fans. Like we hate the Ducks. Every fan needs to go by certain rules you know!

Well, hello ladies…Hope you don’t mind me coming over every once in a while for some good natured harassment and puck talk. The website style sure looks familiar. I am sure I have seen it somewhere before. Look forward to chatting about our hockey obsession. Welcome to the blogging world. Consider me your fan and friend.

Bobby Scribe! Holy Shit! This is so cool you came over and said Hi.
I read your blog every morning with my coffee. Hammond, LGK, Royal Half, Quisp and BOC. MY favs! and a few others too! ::gushing::
I’ve posted a few times on your site, but one of the reasons I wanted to make this blog was because I ran across other women who were afraid to post as well. or ask questions, or even say anything to their “guys”. So no “cool story bro” here. Its lady and new hockey fan friendly.
I’m glad you stopped by. You might be very interested in Noreen’s articles (mother dearest) as she comes from Montreal during the original six and is starting to come over as a Kings fan. Not like I pressured her or anything. Actually, you never lose the love of the game as she reminds us. I’ll press her for more great stories.
Mary should be fun as well since she is clueless and learning. Lots of fun there! LOL
Thanks for stopping by. Truly pleased. I wrote the Royal Half and asked to be in his next bloggers questionnaire and hopefully he will let us. Say hi to Surley!!!!!!!!!!

So in addition to everything else, I got just about everything wrong in this post! What do you the stats were 1-1-1. Doesn’t that mean its a tie (when I know they lost in OT, won once in regular play and lost once).
Since they won today against Philly, does that make it 2-1-1? I’m so confused!!!!!!! loll.
Also, I promise never to say nice things about KovalCHUMP again! Pinky swear.
