Didn't the Kings originate in St. Louis?

I used to like the Flames, when they were in Atlanta.

Ice hockey in Atlanta. Just ain't natural, con-sern it!

I don't mind the Kings, even though it is WEIRD for ice hockey to be played in places where it doesn't snow.

Snow ... ? That cold white stuff? We keep it up in the mountains where it belongs, less than an hour drive from LA. That way it doesn't mess up the surfing.

Ah, then up in the mountains is where you'll find me

I'm a winter-lovin' girl.

(Gorgeous pic, btw.)

We can hang ten in the northeast, too

Nope. According to WIKI "The team was founded on February 9, 1966, when Jack Kent Cooke was awarded an NHL expansion franchise for Los Angeles, becoming one of the six teams that began play as part of the 1967 NHL expansion." (I have a Gretzky ... the Great One ... autographed stick.)

OK. I remember Atlanta had the Flames, DC the Caps, the Colorado Rockies.

 

[snowbear96]

Found it. Capitals & KC Scouts in 1974. NY Islanders and Atlanta Flames in 1972.

Yo, Sharon. You back, yet?

For the Whovians on the board. My BD cake from a couple of years ago,

Yo, Sharon. You back, yet?

Just a few minutes ago! Actually got out of choir practice about 10 minutes early tonight--mostly because he decided that was the best he was going to get out of us tonight!

But then I came home and had a different idea for my whatsit posting so had to go take some new pics.

Then I had to spend a few minutes reading what I missed in the Leaderboard thread...ah, Hockey is the topic du jour, eh? So I didn't miss a thing.

Not a hockey fan, at all, but I did watch it a good bit years and years ago when the Atlanta Flames were around. I lived down there at the time, and it was cheap entertainment, that and Braves games, so we spent a lot of time watching both teams.

I love most sports, but somehow just never could get that excited about hockey. It might just have to do with that whole, "it ain't natural to play an ice sport where there's no snow" thing.
