TRH RECAP 79: THE LEGEND OF BLOODFOOT
KINGS 1, CANUCKS 2
On a night where the Kings tried to stomp out the Vancouver Canucks’ dwindling playoff hopes for good, it looks like they stomped a little bit too hard:

Seriously though, it was really uncool of the Kool-Aid man to just burst through Matt Greene's ankle like that.

This game, and the remaining three this regular season, won’t mean much to the Kings. They started a defenseman named “Soup”, for god’s sake.
I imagine it must be hard to give your best effort when you know that the *real* battle is just around the corner. Hmm, that kind of reminds me of something…
I was also saddened by our lone goal from Slava Voynov when I heard that it was his first goal in SIXTY games. What happened to our Russian Dynamo of 2012? Now, he’s most celebrated for his contribution to McDonald’s marketing team.

@chitchattj He's awake. I scared my cat when Voynov scored, so everyone is awake in my house now.

@VanCanucks judging by the relieved leisurely aspect of Voynov in interview I'm betting LA overestimates their chances in this game #Canucks

No, I’m guessing that’s because we already have a date for the dance, while the Canucks are still figuring out how to get their permission slip signed.
If you had Voynov to score first tonight you're lying and no one likes you.

IM SO HAPPY VOYNOV SCORED MY BABY

Voynov scored my baby too, it was awkward when I had to fish her out of the net afterwards.
Of course, we all know what the REAL highlight of this game was… Matt Greene’s Podiatry Nightmare.
What the fuck happened to Matt Greene?

Matt Greene can't even block shots without getting scratched these days

That Matt Greene thing might be the visually grossest injury I've seen in hockey. It's somehow more terrifying that it came out of his skate
— John Cullen (@cullenthecomic) April 6, 2014
I sense an Evil Dead remake with Matt Greene's skate, with Bruce Campbell starring as Ryan Kesler
— Charlie McBride (@McBreakd0wn) April 6, 2014
Matt Greene's skate has a heartbeat and is sentiant

Did he attempt the flying lotus? "@LAKings: Matt Greene went to the locker room, his right skate was covered in blood."

Matt Greene's ankle has more character than the Sedins
— @sshole In Charge (@heavyoilcountry) April 6, 2014
The Dos Equis man will be naming his next child after Matt Greene, who is now on the ice.

I want Matt Greene to be my dad #LAKings #Respect
— Sheng Peng (@Sheng_Peng) April 6, 2014
Matt Greene asked when if he could get back on the ice and the doctors grimaced. Not because it's severe, but because he's Matt Greene.
— Nick Chapin (@dightkwing) April 6, 2014
Can we start using hockey memes against themselves? Matt Greene finishes a shift with a bloody foot while Richard Zednik skates off the ice.
— The Royal Half (@theroyalhalf) April 6, 2014
Matt Greene is getting closer and closer to becoming Jesse Ventura's character in Predator. 2:1 he calls himself a sexual tyrannosaurus.

Also possibly relevant:
Do I regret it? Yes! Would I do it again? Probably!
— Matt Greene (@__MattGreene) April 5, 2014
And so, although Brad Richardson scored the GWG against us; although Matt Greene’s foot exploded; and even though we were unable to put the Canucks away for good last night, all I have to say is…
Meh.
We’re in the playoffs.
Say a quiet blessing for your toes,
