Hockey somehow speaks to Isabella Masenga. It does it in ways her parents and twin sister - or anyone else for that matter - can't fully understand.

Saturday at Staples Center, as the Kings scrambled back to take their game against the Dallas Stars into overtime and then a shootout, hockey made a profound connection with the soon-to-be 10-year-old from Pasadena who lives with a form of autism that prevents her from verbal communication.

Watching from a second-level luxury suite, her eyes lit up, a smile was painted onto her face and she seemed to embrace every moment of the exchange.

"It's probably the best day of her life," said her mother, Suzanne.

That story made my morning!! What a great thing it must have been for her parents to discover that there was something that had reached their autistic daughter and made her smile.

AND she was very specific about wanting to see the Kings and not the Ducks. That right there shows a level of thinking I'm sure her parents thought was beyond reach!

GOOD FOR HER!

I hope she gets to see many many more Kings wins!
