By popular request, you can now see exactly how the TRH Baby has done with each game this season against the dorky bloggers. Check out the 2015-16 Baby VS Bloggers Results Page!
In regards to the last game, TRH Baby again showed off her gift by correctly predicting the LA Kings would beat the Montreal Canadiens.
When she ate the Kings helmet, I wondered if it really was a pick for the win…then she flipped off the Habs one… https://t.co/IFKp39LI9x

@theroyalhalf If your daughter doesn't get a trophy at the NHL Awards, that'll be two awards the Kings get snubbed this year

TRH Baby moves to 24-7 on the season, 4-1 on this roadtrip. Time to start thinking about your Xmas gifts for her. https://t.co/j2S1MPcR18

Well, at least we’ll always have this:
What an amazing Christmas gift for Montreal Canadiens fans to be able to see Stanley Cup-winning, elite goaltending in their home arena.

A quick reminder… for each Los Angeles Kings game, TRH Baby will take on a panel of Blogger Experts by selecting which team will win. We’ll keep track of their win-loss record and at the end of the regular season we’ll see just who the hockey expert is. Ok.. let’s check the Leaderboard!!!
TRH BABY: 24-7
BLOGGERS: 16-15
I'm predicting that the Leafs beat the smelly LA Kings tomorrow for @theroyalhalf #BabyVSBlogger because the #DangleJinx is a myth!!!

Alright, it looks like we have a great matchup as the TRH Baby has selected the LA Kings and Vlogger Steve Dangle has selected the Toronto Maple Leafs? For real? Ok, I guess he has!
@Steve_Dangle @theroyalhalf forget "Sign Stamkos". The Leafs need to create "Sign TRH BABY"

Well, tune in at 4:00 pm on Fox Sports West to see if they are right!
SOME ACTUAL BLOGGING
When Jon Bernier was drafted 11th overall in 2006 by Dean Lombardi, it was the first step in Lombardi’s plan to re-build the LA Kings from the “back-out.” And Bernier was to be what this team had never seen before… a home-grown franchise goalie. And then a funny thing happened.
Jon Quick.
And slowly, the once seemingly solid “Franchise Goaltender” tag for Jon Bernier started to show some wear and tear around Los Angeles.
It’s really sad what has become of Jon Bernier in Toronto. It’s easy (really easy, actually) for all of us to make jokes about where Bernier is now and how his trade to Toronto basically paved the way for Marian Gaborik and a 2nd Stanley Cup to make its way to Los Angeles. Sure, he didn’t play in a game after March 31st during that magical 2012 run… but his name will forever be attached with the first bit of actual history this team has ever achieved. And we should give him a pass for that.
Jon Bernier reminds Toronto Maple Leafs fans what the “Stanley Cup” looks like.
