Matt Murray has been a Kings fan since the late '80s, when Wayne Gretzky grabbed headlines by defecting to the West Coast. Since then, he has been a card-carrying bandwagon member as the club soared in popularity with their sole Stanley Cup appearance to their position near the bottom of the Pacific. But things are looking brighter, as he is anxious to witness the rise of the new Kings.
It's official: we're gonna have a Duck hunt in jolly old England
According to TSN, The Kings will face the Ducks in a home-and-home series, Sept. 29-30, in London, England, in the state-of-the-art O2 Arena.
This will be the first time two non-Original Six teams will play games in Europe, and the first time the Kings will have opened their season outside the North American continent.
I would kill to go see this event. Maybe if I start collect cans or something. I'd love to see the Kings take on our hated rivals across the real pond in England. You know that Anze Kopitar's fan base in Slovenia will turn out in force.
