Hey all, got some soul-quenching Kool-Aid for you today. Do you remember that team we all watched in October? I got the feeling last night like that team is trying to reassemble under the Kings banner once again. Last night's effort was amazing. While I sat inside Staples Center enjoying a full 60 minutes of hard nosed, blue collar hockey I found myself with a grin on my face. Here I was sitting amongst a ton of bruins fans that now felt the pain I had felt so many nights in January. Admittedly it may have not been the best way to feel about it, but hey I have been riding this roller coaster for a long time and wanted to bask in the sun for just a moment. The legend of the double double lives as the Kings put up the 2 points we needed and now sit 3 points behind not only 8th place but 7th place as well, not to mention only 10 points behind the division leader. I do not want to get ahead of myself here so I will not say that I breathed a sigh of relieve that the team is back wear it needs to be, but this win was the kind of wins the October team had. Wednesday will be another huge test as the Kings meet the Sharks, and yes I know "It's only a San Jose Shark" but the Kings can not relax until Thursday (all-star break). If the Kings can manage to bring the same type of game Wednesday they could possibly be a mear 1 point outside the playoffs depending on outcomes of other games. I will do my best to stay grounded as I know 2 wins does not mean everything is okay, but man it sure feels good today. Now some parting notes: one, Monday games do not necessarily blow, as with a win they get my week off to a great start; Officially, In and Out food has no real bearing on the outcome of hockey games, but it does taste great; Third and finally, we need to grow this blog and reach out to other Kings fans (real true ones) to come read and share comments with us, most of us reading this daily have devoted a ton of our time to the Kings and would enjoy to share it with people that feel the same way.
P.S. I don't wanna go down the rumor highway here but I must say Scheen is not available to trade unless we are getting back a young face of the franchise player. We Kings fans suffered through shittily put together teams to get the likes of Scheen, let's not throw that away now like past Management did. One cup is great but how awesome would it be to tell some ducks fan "Who has 3 cups".
Thanks all The Kool-Aid Mixer
I don't know if my diet can hold out with continued visits to in-n-out to make sure the Kings bring home a win. You are correct Mr. Mixer in the fact that the Kings need to bring the same game they brought last night for a win Wednesday. The shutout was a great booster shot for this team to get back on track. I hope and pray that the Kings can find their way into the playoffs come late April just to shove it into the faces of the eastern conference teams fans like the ones i was listening too last night (damn Boston fans). Keep up the great work Mr. Mixer, i enjoy my daily dose of koolaid.
ReplyDeleteIt was a bit of deja vu for me last night; Kings looked like that team from the first of the season and another victory on Boston. Boys, keep that intensity going and shot mentality alive and we can go far.
ReplyDeleteMonday games that end in a win are great but sucks for the rest of the week as I am draggin ass to work the next day;of course with a smile. InNOut IS the pre-game winner dinner but I think if we continue on that my ass size won't handle it well .
