Ohhh @nabber03 love me

Soooooooo … Bernie Nicholls’ daughter has a thing for the Kings top defensive prospect. Classic case of teenage rebellion … her dad was a pure scorer, who never played D, so of course she goes for this guy.
GCF – Gann Creep Factor:
Pro tip: If somebody calls you “creepy” on Twitter, don’t respond with an emoticon.
GFC: 7.4 out of 10 … ಠ_ಠ
PETAD (People for the Ethical Treatment of the Anaheim Ducks):
I'm really curious how @peta feels about all the grotesque adds and comments the @LAKings have been making?!? Sure crossed a line with me
Oh boy. That led to some madness(which you can see by opening that tweet). Here’s the interaction between @monprescott, who changed her name to @imafan4you at some point during all of this for some reason, and @LAKings … before @LAKings realized what they were dealing with, and quietly stepped away:
Mighty Ducks of Anaheim (Tied with L.A., 2-2)
GIF That Best Represents the Past Week for the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim:
Congrats guys, you did it!
Look what Corey Perry Started:
Seems like harmless fun, right? WRONG!!!!!!!
You see what this guy has started?
I mean, have you ever seen such a thing? … WAIT A MINUTE …

Everybody* Loves a Free Meal (*media members):
And now we witness the only thing that print journalists care more about than deadlines:
It's over. The Anaheim Ducks have won the PR Stanley Cup. Serving media In-N-Out burgers during practice pic.twitter.com/1gmHQcvKNK

Arrived at the Honda Center for Ducks practice just in time for the full spread of In-N-Out. Best media meal ever!

#NHLDucks have significantly risen the bar on the media spread. #stopthefight pic.twitter.com/NqWR8ztGgY

Hearing #AnaheimDucks served In-N-Out burgers to media at today's practice. Would a publication in CA. need a writer to cover the Ducks?

Room temperature hamburgers!!!!
FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!:
Last week we got a look at what appears to be Ducks fan on Ducks fan violence:
I REALLY hope those fans were arguing about whether Hiller or Andersen should start in game 3.
SHOOTOUT: WHO WON THE WEEK?
First Round, Worst Opposing Tweeter*:
Kings: @BuckyHermit
There's so much banging on the glass. In unrelated news, in 9 months time, the population of LA is expected to increase dramatically.

Speaking of lowest common denominator jokes, check out these guys …
Someone must have rubbed Boudreau's fat fuck belly cause Ducks are getting lucky

Must get traffic in front of that pussy rookie of theirs. Sustained. Snap his twine and wreck him.

Second Round, War of Words:
Kings: Darryl Sutter, via lakingsinsider.com
On the difficulty in pulling Jonathan Quick, and the thought process in doing so:
It wasn’t difficult, and the thought process was we’d given up two goals. [Reporter: And you got the response, except for the goals.] Hell, we should’ve done it sooner. They were scared to shoot at him.On what it will take to “recover” from two straight losses:
Oh, I don’t know if I can. I don’t think I can recover. I mean, it’s almost impossible.On home ice not having a major impact in the series:
We should’ve gone to Anaheim last night and bused over today.On how to improve from averaging one shot per power play:
Tonight? [Reporter: Yeah.] Oh, jeez, good thing you told me. We only got one shot tonight per power play. That means jeez, I guess we’re going to have to shoot the puck more. [Reporter: Seriously, do you talk? What do you guys do from the bench, saying, ‘If we don’t shoot, we’ve got no chance here.’] I’ll remember that, yep, I’ll remember that.
Ducks: Devanye Smith-Pelly, via lakingsinsider.com
Devante Smith-Pelly, on the teams developing a hatred for each other:
Yeah, we’re probably pretty tired of each other, tired of looking at each other every game. The hatred has gradually picked up and I expect it to stay that way the rest of the way.Look, EVERYBODY is tired of looking at Corey Perry.
Winner: Anagrams
Here @theroyalhalf, have an anagrammed Ducks roster! Made it while drunk after game 4. Cheered me up a bit. pic.twitter.com/muReZb6i8H

A spectacular end-to-end play by Tanner Pearson, bested by an even better save.
Winner: John Gibson
Congrats on winning the Stanley Cup, the Conn Smythe, the Calder, the Vezina, and the Hart in one game.
