L.A. the new Kings of NHL Hockey won the 2012 Stanley Cup tonight completing a dream playoff run and season for Conn Smythe MVP Trophy winning goalie Johnathan Quick.
The LA Kings need to lock up a long term contract with Quick who has one year remaining. Check out his performance:
1.49 GA in the playoffs – NHL Record
10 consecutive playoff road games – NHL Record
16-4 Playoffs won-loss – Tied NHL Record
Won first three games of all four playoff series.
Most playoff shutouts one season in NHL history.
For the first time, after waiting 45 years, the LA Kings have won the Stanley Cup. They’re young enough, big and fast enough to do it again.
Los Angeles Kings became the first NHL eighth seed to win a title and they did so by winning a record 10 straight road games.
The city of LA has another champion sports franchise. The NHL has the Figueroa Street Bullies.
Congratulations to the whole LA Kings team and the professionalism of coach Darryl Sutter. Hermosa Beach, California will be rocking tonight.

The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee message:
Today, as I mark 60 years as your Queen, I am writing to thank you for the wonderful support and encouragement that you have given to me and Prince Philip over these years and to tell you how deeply moved we have been to receive so many kind messages about the Diamond Jubilee.
In this special year, as I dedicate myself anew to your service, I hope we will all be reminded of the power of togetherness and the convening strength of family, friendship and good neighbourliness,
examples of which I have been fortunate to see throughout my reign and which my family and I look forward to seeing in many forms as we travel throughout the United Kingdom and the wider Commonwealth.
I hope also that this Jubilee year will be a time to give thanks for the great advances that have been made since 1952 and to look forward to the future with clear head and warm heart as we join together in our celebrations.

“ If Barack Obama becomes the President in November again, I will either be dead or in jail, by this time next year…

We are Patriots. We are Braveheart.
We need to ride into that battlefield and chop their heads off in November. Any questions?” – Ted Nugent, American Patriot
