caroljane Posted June 6, 2012 Author Share Posted June 6, 2012 I absololutely believe. It is meant. I am for LA, but a Stanley Cup final sweep...not best fun for fans except, of course, natives of Sweep City.I do love tradition of Cup presentation directly to winner ream captain, and all winnner playes -not to suits.And custody all year to players and staff.

Dennis Hardin Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Carol,I concur that a sweep is always a little disappointing,even if you’re on the winning side. Sports needs the luster of drama. Lopsided ‘competition’ is boring, even though the outcome may be a dream come true.I knew the practice facility was next door, but have now been informed that the Kings’ main LA business office is in my office building. No doubt Lord Stanley will be paying a visit soon. Perhaps we will have a chance to meet in person. It will be a humbling experience. Imagine sharing an elevator ride with the Holy GrailBTW--Normally the fine citizens of LA celebrate sports championships by setting police cars ablaze and generally creating as much mayhem as an out-of-control mob of drunken, overweight non-athletes can manage. Since you’re an honorary Angeleno, I would hope you will carry on with that great tradition in the Great White North. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brant Gaede Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 I've heard that the hockey sticks are substitutes for pooper-scoopers up there in the frozen north. The only caveat is you don't use them on fresh poop. This is the way teenage Canadian boys learn the game.--Brantdon't correct me if I'm wrong--if I'm wrong I don't wanna be right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Surely they don't let bicycle cops have real guns, do they?)Burly OPP bike squad at a flash-mob on the streets of the big TO, packing:Phil I am sure would attest to the armamentarium of the various two-wheeled squads on Toronto streets and byways. I am sure they prefer to taze or gas before shooting, but that is probably only because of all the dang socialist paperwork when you unfasten your holster.And of course the armed cyclists in Montreal are perhaps best represented by their two-wheeled riot squad, also burly, here facing off against those pesky students: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caroljane Posted June 10, 2012 Author Share Posted June 10, 2012 imo it is tiredness. And all streaks end. But I cautiously partake of your opinion. In 6, or 7? I will say in 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will say in 7.Carol:Hmmm I don't know if the Kings can win a seventh game here...They should come out in a full aggressive mode for game six (6), tired may be an accurate description, but it sure does erode at your confidence if they lose game six (6) and the Devils will get that sense of destiny.Focus on six, because seven may be written in game six.Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis Hardin Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Bill Plashke in the Los Angeles Times:The Devils are the first team in 67 years to trail a Stanley Cup final series 3 games to none and force a game six. Only one team in history has ever come back from a similar deficit and actually won the Cup, and that hasn’t happened in 70 years. Is it happening now? It felt like it Saturday…In the Kings race against 45 years worth of demons, the demons are gaining.So what’s it gonna be, Kings? The Stanley Cup or a total collapse the likes of which the NHL hasn’t witnessed in 70 years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
