Welcome back Kings fans!
OMG! HOW GREAT was the All Star Weekend?
First, Doughty owned the draft.

“Calm down, my press babies. There’s enough Doughty to go ’round.”

And then Chris Sutter had a chance to share his awesomeness with the world.

But now it’s back to reality! And if you haven’t had your fill of watching Kopi and Doughty’s team lose while there’s a bunch of Blackhawks on the ice, then, BOY OH BOY! ARE YOU IN LUCK!
At least it will be nice to just have all the boys back home again.
Hearing Mike Richards of LA is on waivers today. Wow.

Meanwhile, I am barely able to contain my excitement at the prospect that one of my magical hockey babies may be back.
Anyone heard any news on Toffoli? How much longer is he stuck at home with his giant organ? #giantspleen #LAKings pic.twitter.com/2d9cGoOGRr

Are you ready Toffaholics? He’s almost Baaaack!
Somehow this gif works for both the Richards and Toffoli news.
This week has certainly left me with a mélange of emotions and I, for one, am just hoping to get back to watching the Kings win a few games.
So, yeah. Go do that, guys.
