Hahaha. It sure will be. You guys predict a five game winning streak?
Stonewall Jackson
Beach Ball
A coach
The Invisible Man
Bailey. Make sure to wave with both hands at me so I know you are a fan of this blog.
Joe Thornton
hah...I remember that trade. We got Thornton from SJ? AWESOME!...Oh Scott Thornton?
What a dash to my hopes.
Scott, I thought you were going to dress up as a Kings player tonight...no?...Oh...well then why would you go out of your way put a "A" on your personalized Kings jersey??
I will be going as the worlds most negative Kings fan that can never see any good and always has to be obnoxious about it. In other words, I am going as anthony!
HOPEFULLY THE KINGS DRESS UP AS A WINNING TEAM =)
I just hope none of the Blue Jackets dress up as Tyler Wright, and that Jason LaBarbera doesn't dress up as Jamie Storr. That game was perhaps the low point of my Kings watching. A Tyler Wright Hat Trick, indeed!
I'm dressing up as Tim Lieweakly and I'll be throwing money away in the crowd. About $250MM.
I will be dressing up as former Hollywood Squares and 1970's game show icon, Rip Taylor.

I have decided to dress up as my role-model, mentor, hero, and life-coach: Aki Berg
I will be wearing the same outfit I've worn for the last 30 years! I will be dressed as a long suffering Kings fan waiting for a Stanley Cup!
Does anyone know the rules for Staples Center and costumes? What is not allowed?
Modry, I have a Berg jersey you can borrow.
Sadly, I really do.
That's a great idea, FroFan! We all would like to give away our Aki Berg jersies for costumes, too!!!
JW - Staples Center dress code pretty much only outlaws nudity and "offensive" dress. Of course, they get to decide what's offensive. However, I spoke to my account rep and he said, it being Halloween, they were giving wide leeway for people dressing up. I'm currently wearing a latex prosthetic on my face & a hooded cloak. He said that should be fine.
Hope this helps.
I'm dressing up as Joe Torre...
...I hope it helps.
Cammi and Avery smack-talk. From David Amber's Q&A on the ESPN site:
"Q: You're a pretty low-key guy, but this summer, I'm flipping channels, and there you are on "MTV Cribs." How did you get chosen for that?
A: They just called me up. They wanted to do it. So far, it has only been played in Canada. I guess they need to fill up their Canadian content. I'm Canadian, so it worked out for them.
Q: So, did you go out and rent some Bentleys so you could look like a serious roller?
A: (Laughs) No, I did it "au naturale." That's my real house. It would look the same if you came by today. I still have that one same car and that's the way it is. I'm not like Sean Avery, who borrowed Pavol Demitra's Bentley and pretended it was his."

I figured Thorton would dress as Ivanans...
Maybe he'd actually get into the line-up!
I was gonna as Roman Cechmanek...I figure if people threw stuff at me it would all go 5-hole.
I seriously considered covering myself from head to toe in week old swiss cheese, to present a history of Kings goaltending since the early 80s...
but the stench would compare to having to sit through all of last season.
Wearing my Kopitar jersey and watching the game as my girlfriend hands out candy. Good one Deelo.
Microphone, high-heels, over-sized sunglasses, fur coat and a skirt. I'm going as a "Gossip Queen!"

An NHL caliber starting goalie
I'm dressing up as blue faux hawk girl.
If I were going, I'd wear a Ducks jersey. Not many things more gruesome or scary than that.
I'm going as the NHL commissioner.
