Going to my first game in two years

[LadyByng]

As a Kings' fan of twenty years, I typically used to go to 5-6 games a year. Bring the family once a year. At some point about two years ago I just got too disgusted to spend my money to see an overpaid Rob Blake put a listless effort, or watch the goalie-du-jour trying to plug the Kings' defensive sieve. I love watching Kopitar and Brown, but being an ol fashioned guy, I thought we pay professional athletes to win. In short, I decided I could not afford to waste my hard earned money on a defunct product.

I figured that in order to get me to Staples I would miraculously have to get a free luxury box ticket. Well, that miracle has happened. So I am going to watch the Stanley Cup champs, the 15-year old Ducks (!) today.

Ownership would not know the difference, nor would they care. The luxury box seats are paid for. But maybe I will get to see history in the making: The Kings finishing last in the NHL for the first time since the 1969-70 season. But hey, isn't this what we are all wishing for, including management which has its eyes set on the draft?

Kings won't finish last this year. Tampa has been practicing own goals all week. Have fun at the game. Get yourself one f those GIANT chocolate chip cookies and stick around to the end and win yourself a jersey. Just don't be one of the multitude of Kings fans chanting " Lets Go Ducks"

Have fun. It's all about those caramel apples when you're in the Luxury Boxes.
