Stanley Cup Champs!





Just a couple miles down the road from the happiest place on Earth, the unthinkable has happened. No no no Hooters off Katella isn't offering free muff rides. After a name change, a uniform change, venue name change, and front management change the Stanley Cup has been raised above a California team for the first time. The product of a B rated movie at best, you heard me Emilio, who at times early in the Expansion looked like a joke has made a mockery of Kings fans...who are the majority, all over so cal. So many stories on this team, The Nedermayers, The drama with Chris Prongers suspension, the excellence of Jean-Sebastien Giguere and of course papa duck Teemu Selanne. Last year has been redeemed and is a distant memory now, with a lot of the credit I would say has to be going to Brian burke. The new GM came in and sideswiped the organization, turning it from a candyland franchise into a full blown grass roots hockey club, for god sakes the man changed "the pond" into the Honda Center. Many were skeptical about the identity of this club, but more were impressed by the talent and comradery on the ice...which he also had a lot to do with. Hockey as a whole is still in the shitter, you can't see regular season games unless you rig your antenna the same way you used to try and catch a pornflick on basic cable when you were a kid, I think I see a boob! Im actually surprised the Cup even got televised seeing as Americas got talent and Celebrity strippers gone whackotastic was on tonight...oh goody. It's a good sport and theres fighting bitches...but if your not into hockey, go buy a ticket to a game of your choice, experience it, then come back to me and tell me your still not a hockey fan, I dare you...quack quack
