My friend Gary was a Los Angeles Kings fan. He disliked Edmonton and hated Vancouver, the same as me. Sometimes I wonder if it was because of me, but that's what he said.
He took me to a game against the Oilers in the first round last year. I was a bit wary, but I thought, okay, I guess I can cheer for any non-Vancouver team against them. He took me to the Flames game in Anaheim too.
Sadly, he passed in January. I watched Game 7 at one of the spots we liked to hang out in wearing the Flames charm bracelet he gave me. I think he would have loved that.
Miss you, friend.
