...with no Kings hockey.
Hello peeps! Hope all is well with you and yours! I'm alive, and not much worse for wear, all things considered. Nine months is a long time without my Kings playing. It sucked. Reminds me of the lockouts, except instead of Gary Bettman, we have the Chinese government and one sick bat to blame...although now that I think about it, Bettman DOES look a lot like your run-of-the-mil bat...especially around the eyes. Quite a resemblance, actually.
It seems like yesterday I was watching the Kings beat Ottawa for their fourth win in five games and their tenth in the past thirteen, posting here with The Usual Gang of Idiots (yes, a MAD reference), when the NHL made their jaw-dropping announcement and the world changed forever.
So, in three weeks, we get our Kings back. Sweet. I was going through freakin' withdrawals.
Anyway, when March 11th happened, I was feeling pretty good about our team. So, that begs the question:
Pandemic-altered season or not...do we stand a chance of making a run at the playoffs? We sure looked damn good right before the poop hit the fan.
Counting down the days until puck drops...
...in the meantime, everyone have a safe and happy holiday!
