The Ring to rule them all

The cool gifts keep on coming to celebrate the LA Kings Stanley Cup. Last night the Kings played the Vancouver Canucks who they eliminated in the first round of the playoffs. It was a big deal since we lost to them in a first round series a couple of years ago. It is also doubly sweet since the Canuck have been the Presidents Trophy winner 2 years in a row. This is awarded to the team that has the most points at the end of the season but that doesn't usually transfer over to winning the Stanley Cup.

Okay, I reluctantly admit the Canucks are a very good team but there is an intense rivalry between the 2 teams which has just increased greatly since April. So Twitter was ablaze with snarky tweets from both team fans but the one I liked was from a LA fan to be respectful of the Canucks fan at the game and to congratulate them on their Presidents Trophy win.

The best was from another LA fan was that Vancouver will finally get their Stanley Cup rings...when they attend the January 28th game at Staples where everyone will receive a replica ring. Something along those lines since I always go over 140 characters. :) Really snarky but funny.

That leads me to the ring....I wasn't sure how cheesy this ring was gonna be but I was really surprised at how nice it is. Sure, it's not exactly like the authentic SC rings but it sure is cool. It is metal, has all the important details and will be a treasured keepsake for the LA Kings fans. :) So thrilled with it.

It's too large for a woman to wear it comfortably but I'll find a way...
