KOPI With The Cup!

Yay! The day has finally come for the Los Angeles Kings Anze Kopitar to bring the Stanley Cup back home to Slovenia!

Check out the pics! He looks so happy, love him!

SPAIN VS PORTUGAL

So my patriotism or you could call it obsession with the Spanish national team started 4 years ago at the previous Euro Cup…when of course they won it all. Then, came the World Cup- 2 years ago…and again Spain made it to the top and became World Cup Champions.

And if you haven’t heard about the LA Kings winning the Stanley Cup (my team, not really because I don’t own it) then you’ll know that I’m having good luck with choosing winning teams in the last couple of years.

Anyways, enough about my lucky streak. The semi-finals are today for Euro Cup 2012…it’s Spain VS Christiano Ronaldo, oops I mean Portugal.

I think it’s going to be a close one, obviously Spain is the better team, but you just never know! Also, Torres has been completely useless in this tournament, unfortunately David Villa who was the star of the World Cup was injured this time around, and we haven’t been playing as good. It seemed like David was the one raking in the points last time around, but hopefully Torres will bust something out of his a** today!

My predictions, Spain Vs Germany in the finals this weekend!

Spain came on top of their Group C leaderboard.

Spain  7

Italy   5

Croatia   4

Ireland  0

LA KINGS: Stanley Cup Finals

So I’ve been obsessed with the LA Kings since my hometown team (Toronto) has been sucking at hockey, and I’ve been rooting for the Kings since last season, when they made it into the playoffs but were beaten out quickly.

This year, it has been an amazing ride watching the Kings play, they’re just an amazing team, filled with some great young players, hopefully when I make it to LA, I want to be watching these guys every night, well not every night but you know what I mean!

Unfortunately, since they are a West coast team, it’s hard to catch their regular season games, just because everything in Canada gets televisied first and foremost. Once they made it into the playoffs, I was able to catch every single game, and trust me I was lovin’ it!

Last night, the Kings did what nobody thought they could do at the beginning of this playoff season, and that was to make it into the Stanley Cup Finals. The Kings were in 8th spot heading into the playoffs, after knocking out the #1 team Vancouver, heads started turning.

It was the craziest game I’ve ever seen, it was tied 3-3 heading into OT, the Kings were on the powerplay but they couldn’t do anything with it. Then the Coyotes went on the powerplay in OT, still they couldn’t do anything with it either. Also, the Kings definitely dominated in OT, watching them play that 18 minutes it was like watching them play the first 2 games of this series where they controlled the puck. Anyways, there was a few minutes left in OT, off the faceoff, it all happened so quickly, Penner taps it in, he was there at the right place at the right time, and the Kings are going to the finals.

I’m so happy! I just wish I was in LA to enjoy the crazy madness that’s probably going down.
