OPENING NIGHT! …kind of. It was like Day 7 of the NHL season, but whatever!
It was a chance for LA Kings fans to finally return to Staples Center after last season’s trip to the Western Conference Final.
You know, it’s kind of funny looking back on that run. There were so many memories that rush through my mind when I think of those 18 playoff games.
I was actually discussing some of them with a buddy the other day while looking forward to the home opener.
Game 7 versus the Sharks. The McFlurry Miracle. Patrick Kane’s Hat Trick.
And then someone brought up the end of Game 1 against the St. Louis Blues.
I HAD COMPLETELY FORGOTTEN ABOUT IT!
Repressed memories, I guess.
…or a concussion.
Anyway, we can only hope that the LA Kings and Jonathan Quick have moved on from that nightmare.
Besides, NY Rangers fans had their own night terrors to deal with:

Brad Richards – snakebitten for nearly all of 2013 – able to finish off a juicy rebound. Great sign
— Kevin Baumer (@kevinbaumer) October 8, 2013
Brad Richards scores his first goal in nine years #pussy #youregettingboughtout
— Corey Lasko (@91CLasko) October 8, 2013
FYI, Brad Richards scored 34 points in 46 games last year.
Which was good for third on the team and ahead of Marian Gaborik and Ryan Callahan.
Brad Richards via Rick Nash o Derek Stepan. Minuterna före Henke stor press emot sig hjälpt av stolpen tappade klubban.. Shaken not stirred.

— Alexis Leonard (@Lexiecakkes) October 8, 2013
You’re the biggest #Quick Fan! Luckily, I went 4 a run before he gave up goal 3. You should follow me. I follow you.
— Poorman (@Poorman1) October 8, 2013
@LAKings Warning signs already of not a good year. Not surprising. Team doesn't give young talent a chance #Bernier @tytoff16 @Bschenn_10
— Poorman (@Poorman1) October 8, 2013
Any 1 who thinks @LAKings @JonathanQuick32 is the same goalie who won the Cup is mad! Always felt #Bernier was better. Traded him 4 nobody.
— Poorman (@Poorman1) October 8, 2013
Yes, these people actually exist.
Fortunately, so do these individuals.
Did the crowd just give Quick a Bronx cheer? Fuck all of you who did that. Each one of you is dead to me.
— Bobby Scribe (@kingsofhockey) October 8, 2013
#TeamScribe
Fuck the crowd at the Kings game, you dont cheer against your own goalie, how many rings do you have because im pretty sure Quick has 1
— Chilton (@chilton_beauty) October 8, 2013
Everyone who gave Quick that Bronx cheer can go fuck themselves. You don't do that to your goalie.
— Jay (@jayturna) October 8, 2013
Seriously though, LA Kings fans, QUICK IS THE ONLY REASON THE TEAM HAS EVER WON A STANLEY CUP.
— PumperNicholl (@PumperNicholl) October 8, 2013
Fuck you Kings fans booing Quick. It was a freak occurrence and you're jeering the biggest beauty on the ice? Real classy, fuckwits.
— Josie Hartman (@nerdjunkie) October 8, 2013
Anyone mock cheering #Quick is a fucking moron, dude brought this team the fucking Stanley Cup. Oh and go fuck yourselves
— Corey (@LAKingsforlife) October 8, 2013
Ok, so I missed the Quick silly goal and fans being dicks but go fuck yourselves. Do you even know what Quickie has done for us?! #LAKings
— Sara (@SaraMechell) October 8, 2013
If Jonathan Quick hadn’t given up that hilarious goal, the Kings could have lost 2-1. Missed opportunity for LA.
— Indiana Matt (@Indiana_Matt) October 8, 2013
When booing Quick, remember who was your MVP in 2012 and SHUT THE FUCK UP.
— Sayuri (@ViaSayuri) October 8, 2013
LA kings fans need to shut the fuck up, You have the best goalie in the league yet you mock him for one shot? You guys are lucky af,
— Tylor Dias (@Tylor_Dias) October 8, 2013
Jonathan Quick forever.
