It is finally Stanley Cup. My Kings didn’t make it but at least he Penguins, my second favorite team, made it. Unfortunately, they lost tonight and only have until tomorrow at 5p PDT to regroup. Hopefully, they can steal tomorrows game and go back to Pittsburgh tied 1-1.
Playoffs
The have been intersting so far. Sharks gone. All series tied at 2-2 in the second round except Boston and Carolina with Carolina ahead 3-1. The Redwings looked good last night. Let’s hope the can eliminate the Ducks.
Oilers Eliminated by Kings
Kings 2-1 and eliminated the Oilers from the playoffs. Even if the Kings aren’t going to make it, at least it was nice to eliminate an old rival from the playoffs. The Oilers announcers were saying how the Kings, leading 2-1 going into the third, would be pooped out from playing the night before and that the Oilers would domindate the third and win. Haha. The Oilers did control 3/4 of the period but still couldn’t score.
PBJ
For some reason, on letsgokings.com, when the Kings win 4 in a row, it is peanut butter and jelly time. Kings beat the Isles for the fourth and try for five tomorrow agains the Flames. Nice. This is becoming a good season to watch.
Kings Win
For only the fourth time this year, the Capitals lost at home to the Kings, 5-4. This puts the Kings 3 points out of the final playoff spot in the Western Conference. This is the first time in 3 years that the Kings at 21-20-7 have a winning record in February. Wow!
To make my day complete, the Ducks lost, still have 55 points, are only 8 points ahead of the Kings and the Kings have 5 games in hand.
Bailey's Buddies
So, the Kings have a Bailey’s Buddies club for the young hockey fans. I joined it and, at the time, my wife made fun of me. Now, once we got the Bailey bobble head, the lunch box, 3 free tickets, and other trinkets, she wants one. I’ll post pictures later.
This week the Price is Right episode that had the Kings on (and Annette and I attended) was on. There’s a brief shot of me and Annette when one of the first 4 contestants comes on down. We are in the hockey Jerseys.
Tonight is game 4 of the 7 game home stand. Hope the Kings can beat the Panthers.
