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.
The house wins
The wait is finally over. Michael Cammalleri and the Kings have finally heard back from the arbitrator, and the result is a two year deal worth $6.7 million. But considering that Cammalleri was asking for $6 million per season, I'm sure he's a little disappointed. But, that's how the game is played. I don't blame him for asking for the moon, that's what I'd do.
Cammalleri did receive the largest amount from arbitration so far this off-season. So at least there's something.
But now that the waiting is over, we can now proceed with the business at hand. Frozen Fury, baby! This will be the first time I make the trek to Vegas to see the Boys In Royal Blue battle the Avalanche.
I've seen plenty of hockey games the past two seasons, but I'm really excited to see this exhibition game against Colorado. And why? Just the thought of going from a furnace blast of air in the face to going inside the icy confines of the MGM Grand to watch hockey sounds like fun.
Who's going? What are you looking forward to?

Frozen Fury is always a great event to start your vacation. I took my wife last year and it was her most memorable event of the year.

Was very pleased that this is over and Cammi is signed for 2 years.

Now remember Matt, the game's at the MGM Grand, not at the Crazy Horse Too.
