I was born in Edmonton and grew up an Oilers fan. I got to see them win cup after cup in the 80's only to see a shitty owner trade away the greatest player ever and then proceed to hold the team over the city's head for years as a means to get more and more money from the fans. I switched allegiances when Kurri was finally moved to the Kings. Since that day I've been a devout Kings fan (although I still love me the Oilers). Only to see you put the Kings into financial ruin and sell the team off piece by piece.

Over the years I waited while the Kings bounced between bottom feeder team and fringe playoff team with no real direction. Things were looking up since 2010 and finally on that day in June 2012 it all came together. I can honestly say that outside my wedding day and my kids being born that was one of the greatest days of my life to see Brownie raise that Cup while I sat at home watching.

I was excited for the possibility to see Kurri and Gretz win one in 1993 but having the team fall apart and finally rise back up again to win it all really made me appreciate them winning it. I guess I don't have any real question, I just wanted to say Thanks..?

I should follow that up to say that I respect what you're doing with your life now. You seemed to have really turned things around and it seems you're doing a lot of good things, so good job. I say "seems" cause I'm keeping my eye on you McNall!

That aside, Fuck Peter Pocklington. I hate that guy.

P.S. If you ever find yourself in financial hardship again and you're looking to sell of that Stanley Cup ring, drop me a line will you. I'd love to get my hands on one of those!

The Kings old logo was based off the same crown as the Real Madrid logo, which was the Spanish Royal Crown which was a Kings crown not Queens.
