What do the Kings want for Christmas?
All *I* want for Christmas is Mike Smith's head on a spike. I think that's a reasonable request.
Recently, I surveyed the Kings' players (and head coach Darryl Sutter) to find out what they all wanted for Christmas. I have to say that the results were fairly interesting. Here are the highlights:
- Colin Fraser said that all he wants for Christmas is his favorite Nickelback album ("The Long Road") on vinyl./
- Justin Williams just wants the puck./
- Matt Frattin wants a new freezer because that's the only way he'll see ice in Los Angeles./
- Jeff Carter wants his two front teeth./
- Mike Richards doesn't want anything from you personally, but it would make him very happy if you bought a shirt or hat from Rednex Rebellion./
- Robyn Regehr said that he doesn't want anything either, because he achieved ultimate happiness by escaping Calgary and Buffalo./
- Martin Jones wants a real challenge./
- Slava Voynov answered in Russian, so I'm just going to hope that he said, "love and equality for all."/
- Dwight King said that his old one had too many stains, so he needs a new ski mask./
- Kyle Clifford wants Rogaine, or at least some cool hats./
- Jarret Stoll wants a v-neck shirt for every day of the year./
- Alec Martinez needs some ointment to help with all of his scratches./
- Anze Kopitar wants some hypnosis-based therapy that helps him deal with his bizarre addiction to digging through his neighborhood's garbage cans at night./
- Tyler Toffoli just really wants to meet Santa Claus./
- Jordan Nolan wants to finish the job. /
- Jake Muzzin would like an eyebrow shaper./
- Dustin Brown actually didn't give me an answer. When I asked what he needed, he yelled, "I DIDN'T KNEE ANYTHING!" and stormed out of the room./
- Jonathan Quick wants a time machine that can take him back to 2012./
- Dan Carcillo just wants to make his girlfriend's father proud./
- Willie Mitchell would love to have the new Toyota Prius./
- Trevor Lewis would like some new hands./
- Matt Greene really needs a new pair of TruckNutz./
- Ben Scrivens wants the same thing he wants every day... to take over the world!/
- Drew Doughty needs some more garbage cans so he can take out the trash less often./
- Darryl Sutter confused the hell out of me. Here's his answer: "Well when you think of Christmas, you think of family. And when I think of family, I think of that show with the nerdy black kid. What's his face, Urken or something. Family Matters. That's the show. Family does matter. Anyway I think of Urken and that sounds a lot like turkey, and a turkey is three strikes in a row in bowling, which is like a bowling hat trick, and one time I got three bowling hat tricks in a row, which is 10 strikes I think, or maybe 11. Kopi wears 11, isn't he great? So all I want for Christmas is The Great Escape on VHS."/
Happy holidays everyone!
