I remember the Floyd Patterson Sonny Liston fight in 1962. Me da went to pee just as the fight started. When he came back, the fight was over. Liston kayoed Patterson in the first minutes of the fight. Well, that’s what happened to me last night. I settled down with my brandy and was ready to watch the Kings bring a victory home. During the first period, I went to pee. When I came back the Kings had scored.
Second Period… A neighbor came over to borrow butter. While I was talking to her, the Kings scored. Now I’m getting pissed, but I still haven’t learned. So what do I do next? I answer the frigging phone and yes, the Kings scored.
Third period…. I decided that as a good wife & housekeeper that I am, I got up and rinsed the dishes. Yep. Kings scored. So I sat my ancient ass down and actually saw the 5th goal.
So here’s the lesson learned. Do not pee while the game is on. Wait for intermission. Do not answer the door or the phone. Screw em, if it’s important, they will call back. Forget everything else but THE GAME. Sir down and enjoy. Lesson learned. Amen GO Mighty Kings!!!

Wait, no, the lesson is that if you get up to do something, THE KINGS WILL SCORE! I am very sorry to tell you that I will now be ordering pizza, flowers, and singing candygrams to be delivered to your home during each future game so that you will have to repeatedly leave your couch so that the Kings will score!
But seriously though, that does suck
I wish you’d been able to watch the goals. What about Tivoing the game so that you can watch the replay?

If that is what it takes for the Kings to score, then I will gladly accept your generous gifts. As to Tivo, I have to wrestle my husband away from his CSI’s. But you know, that’s doable. I have learned my lesson though and I now have my priorities straight.

I’m sorry, but this is very important and totally serious. Just like Hubbypat and I put our jersey’s on before the puck drops, put the flag out front and get our beers settled because if we don’t – WE WILL LOSE!
Yes, its is true! It is all our faults whether we lose or not because we went to pee, didn’t have our jersey on, forgot to hang the flag. From now on, you are to REPEAT those things you did even if you have no dishes, don’t have to pee and no neighbor to talk to.
One game last season, sonsean came into the living room and the Kings scored. it was sad for him, but he wasn’t allowed to leave again until the end of game. We won.
Conincidence? I think not.

1) I will suffer a bladder infection before I get up during a game.. last night I really pushed myself as I waited til after the game was over and me and the herd made it down the escalator.. no I will not use the uni bathroom on level 3 and the woman’w was an hour wait
2) I will not answer the door when the game is on.. as several people will attest has happened in the past.. they had to wait til tv timeout ..and could only talk to me for that duration
3) the phone.. well that simply is off in my mind.. if people need me they better text.. and wait
for appropriate tv time out agian for responce.. the ex has learned he can actually call if it
is intermission .. and it is only to comment on some spectacular play..
ohh this may be why I am single now.. and plan to stay that way
GO KINGS GO!!!

You’ll be single until you find a Kings fan like you! My hubbypat is the same as me so we suit well. Except off season. He is ok with letting the hockey go until the new season and I’m not. He’ll have to tell me during the summer “relax, Tracy, you have time” LOL
