Did that thing just lay its eggs in that poor man's wrist?

77% of teams that win Game 1 of the Final win the Cup.
Notable exceptions: 1994, 2011.

This is where I would post a gif of a certain TV King violently choking to death, but I'm not sure if I'm allowed to or what.

Some quotes from AV today.
Q. Do you feel you let one get away as a team on this one? And what sort of adjustments do you have to make to get a win?
AV: Well, Im in the process at this time of watching the game. I havent watched the whole game yet. Ive watched parts of it.
One thing thats real evident to me, and it should be to our whole group, is were not going to beat this team if we do not all bring our A game. It is that strong of an opponent that were playing against. We had Hank that brought his A game last night. We had a couple guys. I dont want to name who I think brought their A game. But our B game wont do it. Were not going to win if we bring our B game to the table. Theyre one of the best teams Ive seen in a long time. Areas to exploit, they dont jump out at you. Were going to have to be better than we were.
Q. Where would you rate the physicality of the three teams that you beat to get here compared to what you saw last night?
AV: The three teams we met before were different. Philly was a physical team. They played on the edge.
Pittsburgh played more of a skill game. But they also had quite a few players that played on the edge.
Montréal was, you know, a real structured team.
So they were three different opponents.
This one here is structured. Theyve got skill. Theyre physical. Makes it a pretty big challenge.
Also lots of stuff about needing to bring their A game but almost everybody but Hank (and "a couple guys") brought their B game last night.

I'm just going to pretend that the Duck fans in here are secretly hoping LA wins. They need something to bring joy to their boring OC life. Outside of going to Disneyland for the 100th time.

But Clydefrog lives here in Newport Beach. all about dat OC life
We also have Knott's.
Getting robbed at Knott's makes it feel like LA.

You're right, Orange County
has nothing on the Valley.
Without the Valley, where else is porn going to come from?

I'm only here until I graduate. Will probably be moving to Pasadena in December.

I've never been and never will go to Disneyland. When I was a kid my parents would ask if I wanted to go but I would opt to stay with my aunt in Santa Monica. She would just take me to museums.
No Fun Allowed
Disneyland is butts. The best time I had there was when I was in middle school, was first trumpet in the school band and got to go down there to march in the parade. 90% of that weekend was just walking around the park though.
Every other time I've been there was totally miserable.

Watched the first 2 periods this morning. What a crappy way to lose. Even though the SHG was luck they were dominating. Make a mistake and boom Kings win the game. Probably the biggest difference between the 2 teams. I do honestly believe Hank will outplay Quick in the next couple of games. Just need our offence to execute more when the Kings fuck up.
*sigh* these 3 day breaks are brutal.

Where are you attending man?

I mean, I don't even like Disneyland and I go like once a year.

You have to go at least once. I haven't gone since I turned 25 six years ago when they let birthday people in free.
Before that, I was 9.
Place is pricey. But the churros...

I rather go to Six Flags if I wanted to have fun.
You trying to say a 9 year old going to museums or going hunting is not normal?
CSUN. Will be applying to USC for grad school if I can't find a job as an assistant editor.
See people always tell me I have to take my son but he went with his mother and her husband. My son fucking hated it. Said he rather watch a movie or go to the beach.

Kopitar knows what is up, perhaps he wants to play hockey just steps from where the Jays play

^^^^ #truefacts though. Always Six Flags over Disney for pure fun. But Disney has its place.

Oh shit. King's Burger-Got Sushi is dope. CSUN is a good school, lot of friends went. If you end up at USC for grad school you'll be attending with like....roughly 40% of everyone I know. I actually know someone starting there in a writing program this fall.

I can't afford that, that's like $10,000 just for admission.

I fucking love their Sushi. The three way Albacore belly and Toro are amazing.
The USC thing, I'll have to see how the job hunt goes first. Grad is my last resort but I have the grades and the stuff I do with the Vet center on campus should look good for the extra actives part.
All my friends rave about their salt water taffy but whenever they get some. I try it and it doesn't compare to taffy in Monterey or other cost towns. Now that shit is the bomb.
Annual pass bro! You can come with me. I go numerous times a month. I'll hold you tight on splash mountain
