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.
So, when are you going to update, dude?
Well, as the 2007 season has come to a close, my duties at work have ramped up. And when I tell people that I work in a sports department for a newspaper, I am frequently told how lucky I am to works in sports. It seems that people think that we all sit around in lounge chairs, sipping beers and watch games as we put out the paper.
Well, I'm here to tell you one thing: we don't sit in lounge chairs. We sit on beanbags.
I still plan on covering at least two more games before the plug is pulled on the Kings' season, but I still plan on updating this blog. So, faithful reader, Life in Hockeywood is still alive.
