The scariest thing in the world is buying tickets for an elimination game. If the Kings win, it's an amazing night. If they lose, I just paid $60 to get kicked in the nuts really fucking hard. Oh well, let's go for it; at the very least I'll be cheer for the guys. Have fun in the comments and be as stupid as you want because I won't read them.

 

Go Kings.

Davis Gaines sings the anthem, centers the fourth line and commits the TO for the GWG from Nic Wallin.

I was somewhat surprised that he sang it for all three games. I get he’s a huge fan, it’s just…there’s a lot of vocal talent in LA, right?

The anthems in LA are always awful. They do have a lot of vocal talent in LA, but I think everyone they get to sing the anthems is trying to play it up in some hope of being discovered or something.

I can appreciate creative and powerful singers, I just don’t think that national anthems are the venue for personal or creative embellishment. Too many of the singers in San Jose do it, too.

Sing it strongly, proudly, cleanly, and don’t drag out your minute and a half of fame.
