Well, it's been 45 years in the making, but we did it, Kings fans. We freakin' did it. Kings fans of a certain age and older say this moment should've come 19 years ago in 1993, but that's another story for another time. To non-Kings fans who hopped on the bandwagon during the run, thanks for the support, and we can talk shit again when we play your team next season. To all the new Kings fans, we hope you stay. To the Devils fans who showed us love and gave us props after the win, thanks for a great series, and your guys deserve credit for fighting to the end.
However, I would like to address a certain section of the hockey fan community. This segment of hockey fans seems to have a problem with us for whatever reason. It could be they're bitter Ducks, Sharks, Coyotes, or Stars fans (oh well, kiss our ass). Or it could be that they simply seem to have a problem that LA has a winning hockey team. Oh, you know who you are. Admit it. You think that just because LA has a winning hockey team, that it's time to degrade us as a fanbase and claim that we've "been waiting for this moment since May" or that we simply don't know shit about hockey. You think that somehow, because we have a high average temperature, we don't deserve this. Think again, motherfuckers. Think again. People in cities like Boston, New York, and Toronto all seem to think we're a bunch of bandwagoners who only hopped on the Kings train after the Lakers lost in the playoffs. Let me tell you, that is simply not the case. Thanks to Twitter, I can interact with all kinds of people, and the Kings fans I follow know their shit. I can say that with great confidence. They've been around for the ups and downs, they've seen it all, from Wayne, Luc, and Co. to Jonathan, Dustin, and Drew, even going as far back as the '70s. That crowd you heard Monday night, that was us. That was 45 years of frustration and pain and demons, all gone in one night in June. So, to anyone who still thinks we don't know hockey, suck one. I have just one question to ask you: Do these look like bandwagoners?
