Fuck this shit.
@lakingsinsider Of course, you knew this yesterday when he wasn't on the plane. No?

Was that a shot?
@lakingsinsider Good to know!

It makes sense. No other beat writers are allowed on the team charter, so it wouldn’t be ethical if Jon Rosen were allowed to report things he saw, simply because he was afforded that luxury.
KFD’s response seems somewhat passive aggressive, but let’s give him the benefit of the doubt.
@itspaultho Being a team reporter will always be an ongoing issue. Impossible to be completely independent.

Not sure what being “independent” means, but I don’t think Jon Rosen has given us any reason to worry about him not being impartial.
@theroyalhalf @lakingsinsider Do they blindfold you too?
— Kings Fan Daily (@KingsFanDaily) January 27, 2014
Alright, now he’s just acting like a jerk.

Hey buddy, we already went over this in the week 11 edition of Freeway Farce.
And I know you read Freeway Farce, because you blocked me on Twitter after we talked about your Vine videos in week 15.
What kind of “career trajectory” involves you narrating 30 straight minutes of practice video that you shot on your cellphone?
Gernulism.

#5. This is how Darryl Sutter should decide which defenseman is scratched.

Wait, was that just the shirt that Darryl Sutter was already wearing? I thought this was going to be on some tropical island. Also, props to whoever made this:

Ducks fans are getting a little ahead of themselves, as the team puts together another impressive regular season.
@S_P_ROGERS like them. That's neat. Welcome to fandom Mr. Brady. It's not always sunshine and lollipops.
— DucksFanZone (@DucksFanZone) January 31, 2014
Fowler is out scoring Doughty. Neat.
— DucksFanZone (@DucksFanZone) January 31, 2014
@socalhockeykid @FineFolksOf322 oh I'm sorry I'm being lectured by a fan of a team that took 45 years to wins cup? That's neat.
— DucksFanZone (@DucksFanZone) January 31, 2014
#neat
And yes, DFZ was bickering with Kings fans again. And yes, he repeatedly trotted out the “Kings took longer to win the Cup” burn, as usual.
I'll never tire hearing fans of a team who took almost 50 years to win a cup chirp us about our recent failures to advance in the playoffs.
— DucksFanZone (@DucksFanZone) January 31, 2014
The irony is delicious.
— DucksFanZone (@DucksFanZone) January 31, 2014
But really, what were the odds that DFZ could use “irony” properly?
@theroyalhalf what about dodgers stadium?
— DucksFanZone (@DucksFanZone) January 31, 2014
@dallas_alvey123 I was there. It was too funny.
— DucksFanZone (@DucksFanZone) January 31, 2014
Even if it were true Kings fans were rushing to the exits with over half of the third period remaining, in a game that was only 2-0, we would still be ignoring the fact that Kings fans outnumbered Ducks fans, 3 to 1, at that game. Why aren’t we giving Ducks fans grief for not showing up at all?
Ducks gain two points on their Pacific division and interstate rivals #feelsgoodman
— DucksFanZone (@DucksFanZone) January 31, 2014
@HrudeyCantFail right.
— DucksFanZone (@DucksFanZone) January 31, 2014
Right.
Intrastate: Kings and Sharks
Interstate: any other NHL team, who was theoretically a rival of the Ducks, if any teams cared about the Ducks enough to be their rival

Oh man, the Ducks were shutout? How embarrassing.
Kings:
Everybody except Anze Kopitar.
Ducks:
Dustin Penner may not be dead quite yet.
Two portraits of futility … Take your pick.
Kings:
Drew Doughty via LA Kings Insider:
Whether it’s “bittersweet” to see his friend, Wayne Simmonds, score for Philadelphia:
No, it’s whatever. Simmer’s a good player. He’s really producing a lot there in Philadelphia. They’re a high scoring team, and we expected them to try and pop a few tonight. Whatever. He got one.
Whatever, bro
Ducks:
Ryan Getzlaf via the LA Times:
When told Perry has more Gordie Howe hat tricks, Getzlaf cracked, “Corey? He gets beat up all the time, that’s different.”
Oh, you guys.
Kings:
Kings suck. Let’s all just get drunk.
Ducks:
Flyers give up the most short handed goals in the NHL, which makes sense after seeing that.
