I’ll never forget it , we were out scored like 21-5 the first 3 games , and I believe game the Kings won in OT they coulda been swept , and no second cup
JD mentioned the "California Gauntlet".
I clown Anaheim and San Jose a lot, but it is mostly just my competitive nature.
When it comes to being serious, i have been following their builds closely. I want them to build strong.
I've been fed up with LA being the only team standing on a bridge. I want teams to regret traveling through California.
Instead of LA facing every teams best, while the Ducks and Sharks get beat up by visiting teams B team. The Ducks and Sharks need to help carry the load soon.
There is a Nick Nickson last season episode on YouTube that is about 42 minutes long. Some nice comments from Fox, Evans, and Bob Miller. Pretty much reviews Nick's last season broadcasting kings hockey. Very well done by Kings TV production.
That was a great idea for a show. Thank you, Eddie.
Truly a once in a lifetime series as a fan. That team was just special.
The three best live Kings games I've seen:
1. 2/11/99 – Flyers vs. Kings. Almost a fight between a Flyers fan and a few Kings fans in my section. A Flyers fan ejection. A monster comeback with 3 goals in the last 3 minutes, including Jozef Stumpel scoring the game winner with 1 second left.
2. 4/18/01 – The Stunner at Staples. Probably the most exciting live sporting event I'll ever see.
3. 6/6/12 – Game 4, SC Final vs. Devils. I live in TX now. Flew back to LA for one day to attend this potential Cup-winning game. Met legendary Bob Miller, lost the game but Kings eventually won their first Cup. I've never been quieter during a game, I was so nervous.
Wish the game 7 vs. the Sharks was one I attended. I'd probably be found dead outside of SAP Center somewhere. Go Eddie! GKG!
Those Kings teams were just built different. As a long time fan from the Gretzky era I’m glad I got to experience those runs and was at Staples for the cup win. Luc and Blake’s build unfortunately doesn’t have the stones these teams had.
Who is Rink Royalty ? Guy writes like 4 articles a day and most of them are pretty stupid !!!
