The Kings held their annual Meet the Players day.  Annette and I went out there and meet two players, Patrick O’Sulivan and Brian Boyle.   Boyle was extremely engaging after the first few minutes.  I’m not sure he knew what to expect.   By the time I got to talk to him, he was friendly, signed my jersey, and chat for a couple of seconds.  I now have his Manchester jersey *minors* signed.

Since Annette was already in line for Sully, I ended up waiting at the front of the line.   I happen to strike up a conversation with Sully’s girlfriend.  Very nice woman and Sully will be lucky if she says yes when he proposes.   They’ve known each other since they were 16 years old!   I asked her what was different about Patrick in NHL v juniors she said that he was known as Hat Trick Patrick in juniors while in NHL he plays more defensively.

Overall, a very good day.

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.
