It was an exciting afternoon, here at Konami Arena, as the Los Angeles … um … Los Angeleses looked to win their first championship of the year, opening the tournament against the New York … New Yorks.
The first period was scoreless until that one guy took a pass from the other guy and got the puck past the New York goalie, putting Los Angeles on the board. The period would end with Los Angeles leading 2-0.
The Los Angeleses scored twice in the second, taking a commanding lead, though The One Guy for Los Angeles didn’t score on his penalty shot, even though he “totally fucking should have that was bullshit what the fuck.” At the end of two periods, the score was New York 1, Los Angeles 4. The New Yorks cut the lead to 2, when they scored on the powerplay early in the third period. The goal was credited to That Other Guy who had the puck at center ice and somehow scored from the red line, even though the Los Angeleses goalie was totally over the arrow, and who even scores from center ice, anyway?
The Los Angeleses were held to a single goal in the third, which came from breakout rookie That Guy There, and the New Yorks got close with a goal scored on the power play, but the Los Angeles Los Angeleses held on to win the game, by a score of 5-3. This Guy Here had two goals and two assists, to earn the first star of the game.
After the game, The Guy from Los Angeles told reporters, “I was just trying to get the puck into the net, and when I didn’t have the puck, crash into the New York guy enough to knock him down, or maybe start a fight. Usually it’s the Other Guy, or That One Other Guy who does the fights, but when your team tells you to fight, you drop the gloves and try to knock the other guy down before he puts you into the penalty box.”
New York goalie, The Goalie, said that he knew the Los Angeles guy would shoot the penalty shot right into him, so “I just stood up like an idiot and made the save because whatever.” New York’s enforcer, that guy there, said that he wouldn’t do anything differently. “I just try to make the pass, make the pass, and fight,” he told reporters.
Up next for the Los Angeleses is The Chicago, who defeated the Torontos in their first round matchup.

The slogan for the New York New Yorks, or “the News” as their fans* call them, is of course, “Start spreading the News!”
Their fans are called “Newsies.”
Is that game like playing soccer with golf clubs? 😀
Got me all excited that you were posting about fencing for whatever reason, heh. But hey, hockey’s right up there with fencing so this works for me too! Not that I once left a national fencing tournament early (I was spectating/shutterbugging) so I could see the Stanley Cup while it was visiting my AHL team’s arena or anything… 😀
Tee hee hee… because I don’t watch sportsball, it took me a little while (with visual aids, even!) to realize that this was a game YOU, Wil Wheaton, were playing… I don’t know how hockey works At All, but I know that you do root for the Kings (right?), so you would commentate (honestly? why isn’t that word “comment”?) more appropriately for “your” team.
I may not know most sports, but I can still be a doofus and enjoy your commentary (“comments”!) regarding them.
You may have answered this in the past but what appeals to you about hockey? i’m not shaming you i’m just always curious as to why people like things, and it’s ok if you don’t have an exact reason sometimes i don’t. that being said i think my subconscious might’ve anticipated this post because i had a hockey dream
I had a dream I smoked weed (which i probably smoke once in a blue moon, because bad things happen if i do it more than that) and wanted to play hockey but everyone was like you’re too high to play hockey and i was like no i’m not and i don’t want to play with others just by myself and they kept going no you’re too high, but so and so is drunk playing tennis up the street you can play with him and i’m like no i want to play hockey. then i was gonna go on a cruise with some people or an rv trip but we had this orientation thing and it was in a theatre and one of the beach boys was there hosting one and then our seats started spinning and i started getting motion sick then they started going through rooms and their was blood on everything in the toilet water, on the sink ect. then i was a 10 year old boy who was freaking out about having to get an a on a quiz and was like i’m not prepared at all and the cruise is going to cut into my studying, and two of his friends were like its ok. then he called this other boy that looked exactly like him and started speaking russian and the russian dople ganger was gonna pretend to be him but make himself smell like old reuben sandwhiches so maybe the teacher wouldn’t want to give him the quiz.
the crazy thing i have very little interest in hockey and i am not a 10 year old boy.
Because Sports!!
