Kings vs. Penguins in Perspective, Plus Pictures!!!

Zamboni-mania!

Well, if you attended last night’s preseason game at the Sprint Center, you certainly got your money’s worth.  The Kings and Penguins tied 2-2 after regulation and a five-minute overtime, and went eight rounds into the shootout before deciding a winner.  Pittsburgh’s Matt Niskanen beat Jonathan Bernier in the shootout to seal it 3-2 for the Penguins and sent the KC hockey fans home relatively happy.

Politics, and Tim Leiweke, and struggling downtown businesses, and all of that nonsense aside, this kind of game is what makes Kansas Citians desperate for pro hockey.  

Jarret Stoll and Bailey Make Kansas City Cool

Los Angeles Kings center (centre) Jarret Stoll and Kings' mascot Bailey was in town recently to pump the upcoming exhibition game.  He also offered Kansas Citians a chance to beat the heat and buy tickets to skate on the Sprint Center ice, which also gave them tickets to the preseason game.  It was a decent idea and hopefully many people took advantage of the opportunity.  Plus, tickets for the game are not really moving at the moment.  I invite you to mock-purchase some tickets and see what's available, because there are A LOT of good seats still available.
