Enthusiasm levels are HIGH for tonight's game!
The Kings displayed an incredible amount of grit against a decent team of vets last night vs. Minnesota. Coach Joerger's strategy of using our deep bench and speed to outrun our aged opponents last night apparently worked, despite some clumsy errors, bad offensive decisions, and missed opportunities. HOWEVER, it must be pointed out that we fought, fought, and fought... and VERY importantly, played our game, throughout. It ended up being a galvanizing win and a test of our young team's will. Biggest win of the year by a significant margin.
The Kings now charge into a game against their most bitter rivals with both a lot to prove, and a lot to show, going against the game's biggest name where all eyes will be on them. I'm excited for our boys tonight, and it should be a great initiation for the younger ones into a bitter rivalry that predates even some of their birthdays!
GO KINGS!!!
