Ready for our closeup…<\/p><\/div>\n

How ’bout that Los Angeles major-league ice-hockey team these days? Three Game 7 road wins. How can you not be won over, even now that they are the favourite in the final showdown? We don’t normally shill for any particular professional sports teams outside Philalala or Islington, nor do we usually jump on the proverbial bandwagon, but we have to admit that we have been paying attention to your 2014 Los Angeles Kingsz. Regretsz! <\/p>\n

The forced storylines are many: Will NYC thwart LA? Not just in the hockey, but the sweeping 1½-mile circumference of NYC vs. the bullring of LA (Los Alamitos)? The Kingsz of the 1970s, Jack Clark Kent Cooke and all that, had a great First Line offense called the Triple Crown Line, you know. That was when their colours were purple and gold (just like another Los Angeles sports team long since forgotten!) and those purple-and-gold jerseys had the team’s original logo, a simple crown, on the front — hence the Triple Crown Line. <\/p>\n

Now we have Cali. Chrome shooting for the Triple Chrome on Saturday. Too much alignment here, the symmetry is irresistible. It looks too good.<\/p>\n

Forced storylines, NYC vs. LA. Rangers vs. Kingsz. California Chrome vs. NYRA. The Southland competitors seem too strong nowadays, whether on skates or hooves. NYC may not recover, unless Mayor de Blasio can make things ‘more equal’. Kingsz will be pouring giant non-diet sodas into the Stanley Cup, Cali. Chrome will ride the subway to ring the bell at the NYSE on Monday. New Yorkers will take to horseracing gripe site paidadvertisements.com to kvetch, kvetch, kvetch. Wailing, grinding of teeth, lamentations and Jeremiadsz! Lots of bellyaching. Pass the Brioschi!<\/p>\n

In the end, Zen wins…so, Welcome to La-La Land! You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave…<\/em><\/p>\n
