First stop, the KingsCast party at Diego's Restaurant, where I hooked up with my girl Chelsea for some POTENT margariats. Chris and Keith, the KingsCast guys, were giving out free stuff, so I had to get my goodie bag. And those dudes know how to party, so catching up with them was a great time.
Margarita buzz? Check. Free stuff? Check. Sounds like time to see some hockey! One the way out of the restaurant, Chelsea and I found Jen and Brianna Wells, who always manage to look the part of best dressed Kings fans. They certainly did Vegas right with the oversized beads and the tiaras!
Jen and Bri were sitting on the opposite side of the arena, so we headed to our respective seats. Pretty happy with the view from mine!
Especially since I saw THIS GUY right away!
I also had the pleasure of enjoying the game with two awesome Kings fans, my friend Shawna and her hubby. Always more fun sitting with people who scream as loud as you!
The game was up and down, typical of pre-season play with some rookies still trying to earn a spot on the team. I think the guys were all probably a little hung over from the party at Luc Robitaille's poker tournament the night before as well. But I got the moment I wanted...Drew scored a goal! And the Drew-cam operator nailed the video, so enjoy....although I apologize for the jumpiness at the end. I was a LITTLE excited.
In the end, the Kings won 5-3 and a GREAT time was had by all. But we weren't done by any means...
After a quick wardrobe change in Jen and Bri's room, we headed out to the Irish pub at the New York New York casino for a round of Newcastles and a lot of hockey gossip. Chelsea had some great stories from the poker tourney the night before...and no, I'm not sharing any of them! We're keeping it just between us girls.
Overall, a pretty epic day and night in Vegas. And the best part? Only 364 days until we get to do it again!!
The Kings home opener is Saturday, October 3. Can't hardly wait!!
