Devil Went Down To Lala (Part 2) The Devil opened up the game And he said, "I'll start this show" And lasers flew from his hockey stick As he gave his goons the Go And then he deked and dangled, before he pulled the string His shot made an evil hiss And a hoard of demons rushed in And it sounded something like this (guitar solo) When the Jersey Shore finished Johnny said, "well Pauly D & Situation Lets just sit down on that beach right there Let me show you how its done He played, 'Fire on the Kings pond, Jerseys drawn blood. Darryl rules the team from Hockeywood Brown, Cart & Lewis in a blink said Itsover, bro Martys team still gots some fight? No child, no The Devil bowed his head Because he knew his boys been beat And he laid that shiny trophy On the ground at Johnny's feet Johnny said, "Devil, stumble on back If you ever wanna try again I done told you once you son of a puck I'm the best there's ever been" He played, 'Fire on the Kings pond, Jerseys drawn blood. Darryl rules the team from Hockeywood Dustin and Kopi are endin the curse from long ago Martys team still gots some fight? No child, no

With apologies to Charlie Daniels, here is my take on the Los Angeles' victory over New Jersey, with special appreciation for Jonathan Quick: Devil Went Down To Lala (Part 1) The Devil went down to Lala He was lookin' for a Cup to steal He was in a bind 'cause he was three behind And he was willin' to make a deal When he came across this Quick man Tendin goal with magic pads and playin' it hot And the Devil jumped from the penalty box And said, "Boy, let me tell you what" I guess you didn't know it But I'm an ol rink rat too And if you care to take a dare I'll just make a bet with you" "Now you do some good crease defendin, boy But give the Devil his due I'll bet Lord Stanleys Cup against your soul 'Cos I think I'm better than you" The boy said, "My name's Johnny And you might own the sin bin But I'll take your' bet, you're gonna regret Cause I'm the best there's ever been" Johnny your knockin' blurs aside and stopping slappers hard 'Cause hell's broke loose in Tinsel and the Devil deals the cards And if you win you get Smythe's hardware so were told But if you lose the Devil gets your soul END OF PART 1

The energy inside Staples Center was absolutely amazing last night. Monday June 11th will be a night I will remember for the rest of my life. It was totally worth a month's rent to be there.

As a 20 years fan, watching all the other teams do this, and hoping that one day... the wait was worth all the pain. Thank You LA KINGS!
