    Ha. ;)

    I lived is SoCal for several years and I still remember the total amount of hockey conversations I had with the common populace ... zero.

    Come to think of it, after spending more then a decade on the west coast, I think that total is still zero. :?

    Congrats to the Kings and their fans. Great run.

    Makes sense about the TV ratings down. Last year's finals included an Original Six and a Canadian team. Last year was one for the ages. This year, not so much. The Kings looked in control the entire series. Tip of the cap to them for a fantastic display the past few weeks.

    I'm not making fun of LA or Kings fans who are passionate. I'm just noting that in a decade on the west coast, hockey never came up in conversation at work or when I was out on the town. What I'm saying is that with the majority of the population, hockey is out of sight and out of mind.

    And cheers to the faithful that follow the Kings and Sharks (screw you, anaheim)

    well let's be honest...the majority of people here know more about the kardashintons than anything else so i can see how trying to talk about hockey would be difficult :lol: :roll:

    yeah, you have a point. I guess you have to live near places where the residents don't seem to concerned with second-hand smoke and like Friday fish frys in order to talk about hockey.

    Try being a fan of the Dallas Stars.

    When I come across other Stars fans in public, I give them - at the very least - a high five. Some complete strangers have gotten a hug from me for being hockey fans.
