I've always been an Los Angeles Kings Hockey fan, since the Rogie Vachon days. Fast forward to the Kings getting the great one in a crazy trade and suddenly, we are going to win the big one. Nope, we couldn't even win a Stanley Cup with Wayne Gretzky. Then out of nowhere we you least expect it, the fricken Kings win 2 Stanley Cups in 3 years! OMG! The 2014 Championship was like some crazy underdog Disney movie that would have you crying in your popcorn. They were always behind, big time, left for dead, series after series and somehow clawed back, elimination game after elimination game and somehow ended up winning it all.I can understand why the 90s weren't the best, but it just made the Super Bowl all that sweeter, right? I'd rather win it all than get close; I know that from the Blues.
25 consecutive years in the playoffs. No Stanley Cups. First three years in the league made it to the Championship. Didn't win one. Years spent under shit ownership. Years spent in futility, selling off every player worth a damn for nothing.
Not until 2019. You old-timers probably felt a weight lifted off of your chest when the Rams won it all. I know I did with the Blues. That's what 2021 - and beyond - will be like when we win it all...and keep winning Super Bowl after Super Bowl. I can't think of a group of fans aside from Rams fans who have suffered more, who deserve to celebrate a dynasty.
I must say, I was really happy for Blues fans when they won it all a few years ago as I could totally relate, being a Kings fan, all those/these years.
