LA Kings win the Stanley Cup

    My brother John got me a ticket to Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Finals against the New Jersey Devils.   Unbelievable game.  I was so nervous before the game, almost more than the 2011 NCAA Water Polo Championships (Fight On!)   My dad, John, Larisa, Brandon and Christian were all there.   The Plaga's have always been huge Kings fans with my exposure to hockey starting in 1982 after in my dad's season seats -- right on the glass at the Fabulous Forum.  Fast forward 30 years, and as the last minute wound down, and the crowd wound up more and more, I asked (yelled) to my dad, ""Did you ever think this day would come?"  He replied a humbling "No".  Unbelievable game. 
    








 Me and Dad.  What's up with those glasses on me?  2 weeks away from Lasik surgery.

 The crowd was going crazy. So glad I went to the game.  I was afraid to go-didn't want to be the jinx.  Thanks John for "making" me go to the game.  Utterly fantastic.
