woah woah woah now, why didn’t anyone tell me Jonathan Bernier is now up for grabs? what’s the point of even having a team to cheer for when your favorite players just get stripped away and put somewhere else.
Yes, I acknowledge that hockey has become a business. More about the money, less about the game. But that doesn’t mean I can’t hate it.
I actually prepared myself for the moment they’d be out of the playoffs if it came. I kept building it up in my head that if we were out, I’d feel a little relieved. Like I wouldn’t be bothered anymore by stressful games, bandwagoners, only winning a half season and shattering the magic that took place during last year’s playoffs, etc etc etc. But I’m not relieved. I am sad, but I realize why I’m sad.
I wasn’t expecting a Stanley Cup last year. duh, it’s the LA Kings. no one was. And yeah…the win was great. It was amazing. That feeling..that they finally did it.
But now I realize..it was never about winning. Not for me anyway. Knowing that they won’t win it again this year doesn’t bother me. It’s not about winning. It’s about watching my team play hockey. That’s the hardest part about all this really…that I can’t watch them play anymore. Not til next season.
But that’s okay. I still love hockey. I still love the Kings. And I’ll still be here next season…cheering them on. Just like I always have.
Go, Kings, GO!!!!!
When I first became a Kings fan at age 7, I didn’t even know what a Stanley Cup was (and let’s face it neither did they). And it didn’t matter. We were there to watch some hockey, and they were there to play it and that was it. And it was great. So with that said…If it takes another 45 years to win the cup again, so be it. They’re still there to play and I’m still there to watch. I’m still a Kings fan.
GO KINGS GO!!!
just gonna try to ignore the fact that nana got me playoff tickets for tomorrow but can’t use them due to final papers and projects taking over my life at the moment
