LA Clippers defeat New Orleans Hornets 99-95. The team with the best record in the NBA versus the team with the worst record in the NBA. It’s all academic, right? And it certainly looked that way when the Clippers trailed the Hornets by 12 in the middle of the second quarter.

LAst Night's Action: Kings Hold On to Beat Sens
LA Kings defeat Ottawa Senators 6-3. It wasn’t a pretty game, but the Kings persevered to beat the Sens. Randy Jones scored the opening goal for the Kings 42 seconds into the game, but the Sens would control most of the game in the first period. But at the end of the period, Wayne Simmonds was tripped on the way to the goal which gave him a penalty shot which he converted for the 2-1 lead. The Kings would go on to take a 3-1 lead early in the second period, but the Senators rallied back to tie the game at 3-3. Scoring chances at the end of the game inflated the score for the Kings, but a win is a win especially when you’re not playing your best.
LAst Night's Action: Kings Top the Senators
LA Kings defeat Ottawa Senators 1-0. It's good when a team wins a game they're supposed to win. The Kings did just that against a horrible Ottawa team who just fired their head coach over the weekend. It wasn't a pretty game by any means - neither team got more than 30 shots on goal - but goalie Jonathan Quick saved all 29 shots on goal for the Kings to preserve the win. Michael Handzus scored a goal late in the third period to break the tie.
He Shoots, He Scores, She Gives Birth
Sports, in my opinion, is the forebearer to "reality" TV as we know it today. We view many of our sports heroes as being close to super human. And yet with today's access to information we find ourselves readily identifying with the Clark Kent side of Superman. This is exactly the allure of the reality TV genre. Regular folks doing extraordinary stuff for our viewing pleasure. Now Chris Neil of the Ottawa Senators isn't exactly...
There Will Be a Game 5 in Anaheim
There is a silver lining in the Anaheim Ducks' 5-3 loss last night to the Ottawa Senators. It means that there is now a Game 5 guaranteed to occur at the Honda Center. Of course, this good news is offset by the fact that you folks will have to hear from me for another couple days.
Say this carefully: Kunitz
Do not forget to pronounce the 'i' when you tell all of your friends that Chris Kunitz is likely back for tonight's ever so important Game 3 between your Anaheim Ducks and the Ottawa Senators (NBC @ 5 pm).

Pssst.... The Stanley Cup Starts Tonight in The OC
Hey LA, Welcome to the Stanley Cup Finals! The last time hockey was seen nationally on a channel that you're familiar with was May 19th on NBC. Of course, as everyone knows, that game between the Ottawa Senators and the Buffalo Sabres went into overtime. And somehow, during the overtime, the pucks of hockey were magically transformed into the ponies of the Preakness. In case you’re still wondering who won that series, the Senators...
LAst Night's Action: Lord Stanley Moving to Cali?
Ducks 4, Red Wings 3 - Everybody thought hockey in Orange County was like a snowball in hell: Funny to say, totally unrealistic, and full of cliche (remember those "Mighty" days?). Well, it's starting to get a little chilly down south. The Ducks knocked of the "Mighty" Red Wings in six games, surviving a three goal scoring barrage by Detroit in the third period. Anaheim will host the Ottawa Senators in game one of the...
