Were You Rooting for the Los Angeles Kings?

The Los Angeles Kings have finally done it. For the first time in the franchise's 45-year history, the Kings can call themselves the Stanley Cup Champions. While the New Jersey Devils won two straight games after being down 3-0 in the Stanley Cup Finals, the Kings got the job done in Game 6. Actually, that's putting it lightly because the Kings demolished the Devils by a final score of 6-1.

“Everyone deserves this,” said Kings defenseman Drew Doughty, following the team's dominant Cup victory. “We got used to each other, we developed a chemistry, and we just went sailing from there.” The Kings' whopping six goals should be considered more impressive than they really are because they came against legendary Devils goalie Martin Brodeur.

Speaking of goalies, Kings goaltender Jonathan Quick was awarded the prestigious Conn Smythe Trophy for his outstanding series performance following Game 6. Not bad for a team that nearly missed the playoffs, eliminated the top three seeds, went 12-2 en route to the finals, and brought the city of LA its first Stanley Cup. Were you rooting for the Los Angeles Kings? Are you happy they won the Stanley Cup?

    A lot of blood, sweat, and effort went into this game, alone.

    After their 40 plus years of a dry spell, The LA Kings deserved to be the last team standing.

    Way to go Kings, and fans.

    Red Wing fan here. I would always rather see a team from my own conference win (unless it's the Avalanche).

    Plus, I love rooting for underdogs. Add to that the Kings had never won a Cup.

    So yeah, I was all for the Kings.

    They're not my favorite team, my favorites are out, but the Kings have never won in 45 years so I was cheering them on.

    It was fun watching their late run as they definitely turned out to be a team of destiny. It was a great story for the NHL.

    Truthfully, I don't watch hockey. BUT since NJ actually HAS winter ice nad LA is a bunch of transplants, I was going for NJ, but then Hubby said we couldn't go for anything Jersey, other than Chris Christi, SO, my daughter said LA had prettier uniforms anyway, so we cheered for them.

    HOORAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! for LA winning,. Good on them.

    Agreed. You can add "arrogant" for New Yorkers (particularly from the city).

    Not a fan of either state.

    Right, because nowhere else in the world is like that.........
    Also: exactly what percentage of Jersey do you think is like that?

    Well, I'd be the first to say that my impression is based on people from Jersey that I've known, so it's not a scientific sample by any stretch. But every person I've met from Jersey has been loud, obnoxious, crude and tacky.

    I'm sure not all of them are like that, but it sure seems like most of them are.
  • VenomHalos Heptarch 2012/06/25 23:04:22
    VenomHalos
    Alright. Well, if you're wondering, they aren't. There are a lot of kind and genuine people from Jersey.
  • Heptarch VenomHalos 2012/06/26 01:05:23

    I don't think that kind and genuine is mutually exclusive from loud, obnoxious and tacky, for the record.
  • VenomHalos Heptarch 2012/07/05 03:40:04
    VenomHalos
    *Sigh* Alright. How's this: there are many, many people that are not loud, obnoxious, OR tacky.

    Do not like the Devils. They beat the Stars 10 years ago or so for the Cup.

    For two reasons. One, I can't stand the Devils. I'll root for anyone who plays against them. Two, the Kings are sort of Flyers west.

    That makes 18 straight Stanley Cups for the United States since 1994. 20 out of the last 21. We're catching up with Canada.
