The Stanley Cup is going to call Staples Center in Los Angeles Home for at least one year.
The Kings won in a very convincing display of offensive hockey tonight. Jonathan Quick was outstanding in goal and won the Conn Smythe Trophy as the Playoff MVP. He went 16-4 in net.

And a bit of news as well. Martin Brodeur is not retiring. The Devils goaltender is a real class act and one of the best representatives of the game, our game.
I watched it, of course. There's NOTHING in all of sports that equals the awarding of The Cup... nothing. But ya know that, so I shall not go on. ;-)
ReplyDeleteSN1 was packing during the game but took time out to watch most of the third, and the ensuing festivities. Quite the night... in a lot of different respects.
The Kings did a magnificent job this year. Seeing Jonathan Quick get the Conn Smythe was really special as well.
ReplyDeleteI go with The Kings because they are basically the home team for us in this part of the world.
