…and then I will be jonesing for my Kings Hockey fix. At least I will have a couple of weeks of playoff hockey.
Hmmmm…..who to root for? Probably the Blues and Penguins in the first round. I’ll have to see who is around after that.
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.
It's Official
The Kings have been official eliminated from the playoffs. It happened last night with a loss in Phoenix. Strange thing is that the Kings were nibbling around the playoffs all year yet still have a shot at a top 5 pick. How do you do that?
Winter turns to Spring
Well, the Kings aren’t mathematically eliminated but they are all but eliminated. At least they weren’t out of it in December this year. Wait ’til next year!
I’m still enjoying the games and will be sad come April 11th.
EDD California – EPIC Fail
EDD sucks. I have a $2500 adjudicance against the EDD and can’t get through to them. Too many people. Just put me in a queue for an hour and I’d be happy. I’ve called these assholes 400 times today with speed dial.
I might lose my mind. See this site for some humorous info.
Kings Lose…
They didn’t look too good tonight but the Canucks are a hard team to play. It is still a long shot but at least the game on Monday will be meaningful.
Tonight, Colin went with me to the convalescence hospital where my dad is a resident. He went into the hospital about a month ago and is not doing well. Colin did lick the face of a 106 year old woman. It made her happy. Nothing makes my dad happy nowadays. Too sad.
Still Playing Meaniful Games
Somehow, the Kings are into March and playing meaningful games. 4 points out of a playoff spot. I’m not sure they will make it but it is sure fun to watch.
Go Kings Go
Another Rainy Day
Another day of rain in Los Angeles. I’m not sure why we are having so many cloudy days but it does make LA seem more like Seattle.
Kings lost again and are slipping away from a playoff spot. They better start playing well.
200 Post and Last Day of Feb
….and the Kings are still in the hunt. I don’t hold out much hope but it is nice to have to scoreboard watch and fifure out who to root for and who to root against. In fact, I rooted for the Ducks today to win in regulation since they were playing Dallas and we have 3 in hand against the Ducks. Strange how things work out.
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.
