Banned Dodgers Fan Arrested At Reds Game
One of the greatest mysteries in sports, answered: When a bad fan is banned for life from a ballpark, is there ever an actual way to keep him from getting in? At least for deranged Dodgers superfan "Troy from West Virginia," apparently so....
Darryl Sutter Believes Time Is Just, Like, A Construct, Man
Here's Kings philosopher-coach Darryl Sutter, holding court at today's press conference in his inimitable fashion, as transcribed by LA Kings Insider:...
Luck Is Hockey's "Bullshit Dump"
That up there is Bruce Bennett's photo for Getty, zoomed in to unsustainable resolution, but still clearly showing the millimeters of shaved ice that brought the loose, potentially game-tying puck to a halt with 1:11 left. The notoriously shitty surface at MSG tends to increasingly make itself known...
Pile Of Snow Makes Fantastic Save On Kings' Potential Game-Tying Goal
The first star of Game 4 has to go to the pile of snow in Henrik Lundqvist's net. It pulled off the Rangers' most crucial save....
Yoenis Cespedes Gets Howie Kendrick Out At Home With A Flawless Throw
The only reason Howie Kendrick turned third and ran home was because Athletics outfielder Yoenis Cespedes let Mike Trout's hit initially get away from him in the eighth inning. The key word is "initially." Cespedes compensated for his error with a flawless throw home to get Kendrick out. Watch the m...
Donald Sterling Releases Statement On Why He's Now Suing The NBA
OK, Donald Sterling is really suing the NBA this time, we think. He might change his mind in two days. Who knows. Anyway, he released a statement today explaining his reasons for suing....
There's Nothing Barring Steve Ballmer From Moving The Clippers
No one is saying Steve Ballmer intends to move the Clippers to Seattle. Ballmer specifically said he won't. Still, it's certainly notable that the term sheet Ballmer signed when agreeing to purchase the team does not contain any language committing him to keep the team in Los Angeles....
Jonathan Quick Saved Everything And Salvaged Some Respect
The odd thing about this series, where L.A. finds itself up 3-0, is that it's never felt particularly dominant. The Kings have clearly been the better team, but Games 1 and 2 could have gone either way, and everything save the scoreboard says last night's 3-0 win was fortuitous. ...
Kings One Win Away From Stanley Cup; Rangers Sliding On Their Faces
The first thing that grabs the eye is, obviously, just how close this came to crossing the line and giving the Kings a 4-0 lead. Not really a big deal, but with 10 minutes left in the game a three-goal lead is not insurmountable. A fourth goal, though, would have emptied the Garden and packed Penn S...
Donald Sterling Withdraws Support For $2 Billion Deal, Plans To Sue NBA
Donald Sterling's attorney, Maxwell Blecher, says that Donald Sterling has withdrawn his support for the $2 billion sale to Steve Ballmer. Blecher further states he's been instructed to proceed with a $1 billion federal suit against the NBA....
Kings Score Buzzer-Beater Goal To End First Period
The Kings took their first lead of the series just before time expired in the first period of Game 3. After coming up empty on the power play, the Rangers seemed willing to skate the period out and head to the locker room for the first intermission. But with about five seconds left, the Kings carrie...
<i>Hockey Night In Canada</i>'s "Entertaining" Darryl Sutter Montage Is Great
Hockey Night In Canada continues to have fun doing its thing and tonight, before Game 3 between the Kings and Rangers in New York, HNIC poked some fun at Kings coach Darryl Sutter. It is the least interesting bits of Sutter post-game pressers throughout the playoffs, set to Joplin's "The Entertaine...
On Hockey's Fetish For Finding The Latest "Best Player In The World"
Because hockey people have the attention spans of goldfish, some have pronounced Drew Doughty the best player in the world. That he's the third or fourth to receive the honor since the playoffs started should tell you how much weight that carries. ...
The Kings Beat The Rangers In Double Overtime
For the second consecutive game, the Kings and Rangers went to overtime and, for the second consecutive game, the Kings won. LA beat the Rangers 5-4, in double overtime to take a commanding 2-0 lead in the Stanley Cup Final. ...
The Marty St. Louis Special
This one-timer from Derek Stepan to Martin St. Louis gave the Rangers a brief 3-1 lead in the second period. Three minutes later, Willie Mitchell scored on the power play to bring the Kings back within one. 11 seconds after that, Derick Brassard stuffed a bouncing puck past Jonathan Quick to put the...
Watch The Touching Tribute To Don Zimmer Before Mariners-Rays
Prior to today's game against the Mariners, the Tampa Bay Rays held a tribute to honor the late Don Zimmer. The ceremony featured a video montage of Zimmer's career that spanned more than 60 years, and statements from players (James Shields, in particular, seemed very emotional) and coaches from ar...
L.A. Kings Put Will Ferrell "Go Kings Go" Video Sign Outside MSG
There is a monstrous video screen with Will Ferrell's mug shouting "Go Kings Go," and other ravings about losing his mind, in the shadow of the Empire State Building. The video screen is on the corner of 33rd and 7th avenue, one of the busier intersections in New York. For those unfamiliar with the ...
Yasiel Puig Loves Playing In The Snow, Is Still A Giant Six-Year-Old
When we last checked in on Yasiel Puig's Instagram account, we found him proudly showing off all of his neat toys like a kid trying to impress the new neighbor boy. This one is mine. So is this one. Do you have this one? I got it for Christmas. Now, we find him frolicking in a patch of snow and cont...
