TRH RECAP 80: MONAHAND ME THE REMOTE
KINGS 3, FLAMES 4 (SO)
Tonight, the Kings almost certainly had things they would have rather done than Explore Alberta – such as preparing for the San Jose Sharks and their looming playoff series. Instead, they Saddled up onto a late-season Trojan horse of a game that ended up going in Calgary’s favor, after a mercifully brief shootout that ended with Mike Richards and I falling asleep at the exact same moment:
It’s obvious from tonight’s game that this is not the same Kings team we can expect to start Game 1. No penalties were called in the entire game! Guys are resting, players are banged up… although someone clearly forgot to tell Gaborik and Kopitar that it’s okay to stop trying for another few days.
One thing’s for sure — due to this game’s irrelevance and significant Calgary Quotient, this was a snoozer for the ages. I mean, sure, there were goals, but I felt like I was watching public access TV after being allowed to drink nothing but decaf Samba for a month.
While thinking about why I would subject myself to this game, I realized that Saddledome is one letter away from “saddled on me"

It was painful.
The last time flames made me this sleepy, they were attached to lavender candles.

It was… relaxing?
Watching a team that can't improve its place in the standings is a bit disheartening. Not sure how Flames fans have done this since November

It was confusing.
Thankfully, this irrelevant late-season air biscuit did produce one particular item of interest… I give you…

I love that headline because it’s exquisitely passive-aggressive against the Flames.
Kings don't make it passed the Flames tonight.

I feel like something’s grammatically wrong here.
Last time I “passed the flames” it was from those damned delicious street sausages outside Staples Center.
@BaileyLAKings Go Kings. Calgary resident who hates the flames.

If Sutter has any balls, he'll send out Greene, Campbell and Mitchell for the shootout. #lakings

Almost there, Kings fans.
Well, at least the LA Kings stay ahead of the Minnesota Wild in total points.
