I've done this a few years now, so I'm revisiting my yearly pledge as a Kings fan:
1. I promise to turn the page on the old era, and look forward to the new.
2. I promise to remember that every year is a new year; that what happened in the past IS the past.
3. I promise to give the kids on the team a chance - to let them make mistakes and grow and not expect them to be "the next Vlade" or "the next Doug" or "the next Webber" or even "the next Mateen." They each deserve their own identities.
4. I promise to hate the Lakers.
5. I promise not to get too worried too soon...and not to cry about the "sky falling" at the first sign of a cloud or two.
6. On the other hand, I also promise not to start talking about the parade and the trophy after our first win...or first two wins...or first winning streak.
7. I promise to try very hard not to whine about poor officiating.
8. I promise that during my trips to Arco I will have fun and MAKE SOME NOISE!!*
Okay, that's my pledge. Corny? Of course. True? Certainly.
I'm looking forward to this season in a totally different way than the seasons of the recent past. This is truly the biggest mystery of recent memory. And I'm going to sit back and enjoy watching every moment of it unfold.
GO KINGS!!!!!
