Thanks to our wonderful friends Byron and Erika, Shaun and I were able to be a part of King’s hockey history. It certainly wasn’t as big as winning the Stanley Cup (which I know they will do soon), but its a good leap in the right direction. Yesterday (February 6th, 2010), the Kings defeated the Detroit Red Wings 4-3 to win their 9th straight game, breaking the Kings franchise record of 8 straight wins. The record was set back in 1973 – 1974 season if that tells you anything. The game started off rocky, the Kings losing 3-0 at the end of the first period, but they came back strong. Thank goodness for that because I could not have sat and watched the Kings lose between two sets of Red Wings fans.

It was great to be a part of something special and I swear I saw a tear trickle down Shaun’s face when they won ( Just Kidding, but he was happy). Maybe we will be sitting there at Staples Center someday soon as they win their first Stanley Cup. All in all it was a great day!
