After what I have been through this week in regards to the Kings I hope we get a minimum of 3 points this weekend...
Monday, I am on the way to the Fleet Center in Boston (I cannot call that place the Garden, because the Garden it ain't). Leave 2 hours before game time to I have plenty of time. All is good.
As I come to a point where I have to get on the only highway that leads into Boston, i run into traffic that is literally at a standstill, exactly 50' past where I could have re-routed and gotten around this mess.
I am 12 1/2 miles from the rink (roughly the same distance as from the 110/91 to Staples) and it takes me 3 hours, almost on the dot. I got to my seat with 9:52 left in the second period. Thankfully those tickets were free.
Jump to Tuesday and I get an e-mail that my flight out here, scheduled for Wednesday, has been canceled because of the incoming blizzard. So after nearly watching my Stadium Series tickets, my tickets for Thursday at Ponda as well as the high school reunion that I had organized all go up in smoke, I have to pull my son out of school, grab whatever we had already packed and drive two hours to Hartford to catch the last flight out of town.
So for all my frustration, I think the team can provide some restitution in the way of at least 3 (preferably 4) points this weekend.
