In just his second season with the Los Angeles Kings, Anze Kopitar has no complaints. After all, the 20-year-old Slovenian forward is the Kings’ leading scorer with 44 points (18 goals, 26 assists) in 47 games, and was just named to the 2008 NHL Western Conference All-Star team. The young gun from Jesenice finds he is living the American dream in sunny California.

“I actually watch reality TV," Kopitar laughs. “That’s one of the fun parts of living here in the States. Like the Real World -- when I first saw it, I just laughed my (butt) off because I wasn’t used to watching that back home. It’s really fun.”

They mentioned Hockeywood in the article. I thought Mateo trademarked that name? It's worth millions.

We need to extend Kopiteezy asap. He needs to retire as a King.

I don't know... watching reality shows isn't a good sign.

they say that your brain is less active when you're watching tv than when you're sleeping

it follows that watching really crappy tv is even better

maybe this will save his brain from fatigue and leave him more energy to think about hockey

or maybe MC will get him to mix in some game film

as long as he doesn't end up banging some cougar that failed in her audition to be on real housewives of OC, all is well

I can't help but think that the fact that his entire family is now living in LA bodes well for inking him to a long-term contract.

FTFY.

Though Kopitar has opted for new roommates, O’Sullivan can still hope to be invited to dinner sometimes. After all, home-cooked meals have made a comeback in the Kopitar household thanks to mom, Mateja. She and Kopitar’s father, Matjaz, and younger brother Gasper have all moved from Slovenia to support both of their sons. While Anze is playing in the NHL, Gasper, 15, is playing in the Los Angeles system for the Junior Kings and attending high school full-time.



I want to know more about Gasper Kopitar! Where's Kingspawn?

[trdi]

For the 84th time, Gasper - so far - doesn't look like a top notch talent. He is no Kopitar. Wait... He is no Anze.

Shouldn't that be "Dudeeee'

F***ing hell, someone get this kid over to Amoeba and buy him some real music.

All the same, I recall that his dad was quoted as not being happy with the Kings putting so much responsibility on him with the double-shifts and all.
