I wouldn't say that Los Angeles Kings fans are starting to have doubts about their incredible fanaticism of the second coming of goaltending that is supposed to be Jon Bernier... but on my way home tonight I noticed this change in Kings Marketing.

Kings 1, Defending Stanley Cup Champions 3

"Guys, I know Brad Richardson is a good looking man. But we are in public!!"

It's taken me a little while, but I finally figured out where Jon Bernier got his goaltending style from.

Your move, Quick.

It's just one game. The Kings normally reliable defensemen played like crap. And if the hockey gods weren't smiling on Marty Turco (Turco! Why did it have to be Turco?!?) the Kings could have won by 2 goals. Let's get 'em Thursday in Dallas. The Pacific Division battle is where it's at anyway.

The Royal Half came to the Bloguin Family of Sports-Related Blogs in December of last year. Today, The Royal Half was nominated by our peers in two categories for the 2010 Bloguin Awards: Funniest Blog and Best Hockey Blog. I'm going to lose to the Pensblog in both categories, but it would be nice if you took a few seconds and voted for me or any of the other fine blogs at Bloguin here. This time I promise... no attack ads.
