On the contrary, sure there are the current band-wagon Kings fans that came around after the cup like , but the Kings fan base since inception is a pretty die-hard group. You have to be die-hard to love hockey and be a fan in SoCal since the league expansion in the late 60's.
Duck fans are made up of dumb south-bay Orange county peeps.
Like Angel fans. They are know nothing fair weather band wagoners.
Hence why they never sell-out games....no die-hard base.
Ducks are a joke in SoCal...and for good reason.

That poor kid those movies helped mold me as a kid. And made me believe I could play high level hockey one day even if I didn't know how to skate. If Goldberg could do it, so could I!!!

True story:
Back in the day, I used to skate/play hockey at this hole in the wall rink, that no longer exists....anyway....One day Emilio Estevez was at the rink, skating with some instructor during free skate. Everyone was asking around just why he was at the rink. We were told he was learning to skate for an upcoming film role......and that film ended up being....you guess it...the Mighty Ducks.
Oh...and another time (no, not at band camp) at the same rink, (actually on three occasions) I saw Nicole Eggert.....right around the time after Charles in Charge, and before Bay Watch.
True Story.

Stupid Eskimo Artist
In early October, two statues of Wayne Gretzky were unveiled in his hometown of Brantford, Ontario. One statue at the Wayne Gretzky Sports Centre shows a young Great One and his parents, Walter and Phyllis. The other is one of an older Gretzky hoisting the Stanley Cup. Days after the unveiling, both statues were vandalized.
Now, a month later, there's more controversy.
A keen-eyed youngster was looking at the Cup statue during a recent visit when he noticed something was a little off about the engravings on the trophy Gretzky won four times as a member of the Edmonton Oilers. For starters, as you see above, Gretzky's named is misspelled "Gretzsky" and he's listed as a member of the 1998-99 Detroit Red Wings. Then there's the engraving that has the Edmonton Oilers as 2003 champions and features the names of Oprah Winfrey, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Rocky Balboa and Oscar Wilde.
It doesn't stop there. Other listings show more erroneous winners and even more celebrity names, such as Muddy Waters and Kanye West.
So how did this happen?
From the Brantford Expositor:
Len Offless, who spearheaded the $500,000 Gretzky Project along with local businessman Barry English, said Tuesday he was not aware what words were actually engraved on the statue's depiction of the Cup.
“(The artist) told us he was putting gobbledygook and hen-scratching” where the team names and players would be, said Offless, adding that project organizers did not give prior approval to the rendition of the Stanley Cup as they had with the facial depictions of Wayne, Walter and Phyllis Gretzky.
In response to the errors, the artist has pledged to fix this mess by having the engravings replaced.
From the Expositor:
A statement from Oldham's studio said “no disrespect was intended” and that Oldham “extends his sincere apologies” for the random, but readable, mishmash of non-hockey references and factual errors engraved onto the statue's Cup.
The statement indicated that the original design called for an idea of “many, many names” on the trophy but that names were not intended to be viewed individually.
He did include names of several honorary people involved in the project but asked a studio employee to “Greek” the names. The employee wrote actual names, never intending for anyone to read them, the statement said.
Within a week, the artist claims, the names will no longer be readable.

Clearly, the Flyers' success was the motivator to getting this deal. Rather, than, I dunno...trading with the Blues for Halak/Elliott or even the Leaves for Optimus Reim?
Anyhow, I enjoy -ing at the Oilers perma-rebuild.

Good job Moog, we're all proud of your successes at being an NHL fan and a hockey parent.
1)Failed at Pro Hockey (aka Maple Leafs fan)
2)failed as a hockey dad (aka raising children to Maple Leafs fans)
3)Likes the mighty ducks movies.
That's the dom hat trick of hockey failure.

I wouldn't be surprised if the B's lost tomorrow. They have been playing extremely poorly of late and last nights wins against the lowly Florida Panthers, while pleasant, does not inspire a great deal of confidence in the teams play.
I'm hoping the leafs want to turn it into a rumble. There's nothing better for turning a B's slump around than a good old fashioned original six street fight.

While not a street fight, the leafs engaged enough to get the B's going. We can always count on Toronto to help us out when we need it.
I feel the need...

...boy the kids Toffoli and Vey sure sparked the Kings offense!
Anyone interested in Colin Fraser and/or Jarret Stoll?
I think those two are gonna be traded before the deadline for sure.
These kids are quite impressive....let's see if they can keep it up and force Stoll and/or Fraser out of a job.

Errrr maybe not.
I just so happened to only catch the 2nd period and the Leafs were in full control. Looked like a reversal of what typically happens the last couple of years when these teams meet. That 4 minute high sticking penalty killed their momentum.

The leafs didn't look like that in the first or third but they were definitely controlling the pace in the second.
