Top 10 Crazy Things We Do Around NHL Hockey

NOTE: The LA Kings play game 7 tonight vs. the San Jose Sharks. Huge game. Makes some fans crazy.
  

  1. Drive in traffic to LA, drop off our dog with pet sitter in a questionable part of town, pay $25 to park and then get best seats where we can hear the cursing.  
  2. Hire Bailey the Mascot to come to Lemon Grove near San Diego for Jennifer's birthday celebration.  
  3. Give in to superstitions so our team wins, such as wearing Kings' beanie from 1978. (See picture) 
  4. Get a small game of air hockey to play during the period breaks.
  5. Create a Facebook message thread 222 posts long with buds from across Southern California, as we chat during the game.  
  6. Invite my men's team over to watch the game, and serve cookies with LA Kings logo on them.  
  7. Tweet announcers Patrick O'Neal and Jimmy Fox to get some clarity around some plays.
  8. Get into the insane intensity that is unmistakeable and unmatched playoff hockey.  
  9. Jersey Quick 32 for me; Jersey Kopitar 11 for Jennifer.  
  10. Hold breath for 2.5 hours every single game. 

Jim Ellis has liked the Los Angeles Kings ever since he was 10 years old. He even went to the Miracle on Manchester comeback game in 1982. His family can vouch for that. Other topics at LegacyProductions.org.
