    First Los Angeles King goalie (in team history) to post three consecutive shutouts! :clap:

    -Very impressed with 2011/12 Kings team!
    -Very impressed with team chemistry!
    -Kopitar, Gagne, Johnson, Richards and Williams have been earning their paychecks! (they all have)
    -Who needs Doughty (when we have Slava Voynov) :)

    -The team looks "one-step" faster than in years past!
    (they've lacked team speed for a very long time)

    -For the first time in years...
    They have more than two or three players that WANT to put pucks in the back of the net!
    (lots of players with lots of confidence)

    I remember a few years ago saying "why are they calling up this Quick kid" and now it's "why arn't they playing Quick". Nice to finally have a great goaltender and a great back up.

    I was at the game last night and the Kings looked great! In years past they would play good in stretches only to have a mental or physical lapse. This did not happen last night. There was also great energy from the fans last night. It almost felt like a playoff game. Go Kings Go!!!

    Ok...so you know how I was saying I was going to wear my Robitaille shirt last night? Well I did and Lucky Luc Robitaille was sitting in a suite behind me the whole game! Literally 3 rows away! Unfortunately I didn't know this until there was 5 minutes left in the game. I tried to meet him but he got out of there pretty fast.

    Too bad. From what I've seen at the Toyota Center he's very approachable. Always talking with parents, kids & players. I think it also goes with his job, but he always seems sincere and enthusiastic to chat it up. (this coming from the guy who still gets a bit star struck every time I see a player/coach at the rink.)
