FAN MOMENT

By now you know I'm a big Los Angeles Kings fan. I really don't know what inspired me to do it, but I reworked the song, "My Favorite Things" from the Sound of Music to fit the LA Kings. It took me hours. It was really hard to get the names of the players in there. I didn't even succeed in naming everyone. I probably could have, but the song was already way too long.

Anyway, I tweeted it today to a few Kings people, and Patrick O'Neal, Fox Sports West TV reporter, tweeted me back. OMG. I about fell over.

"wow, nice work. I sang..."

That made all the work worth it. Here's the song. Feel free to sing along yourself. :)


My Favorite Things
 (To be sung to the tune from the Sound of Music)
by @Kate_Willoughby

Shots stopped and gloves dropped and sweet empty netters
Stanley Cup patches on LA Kings’ sweaters
Brownie our Captain, a cunning Right Wing
These are a few of my favorite things

Both Jons in goal on the road to the Playoffs
Richards and Stolly both winning the face-offs
Jake in the box for a hit with some sting
These are a few of my favorite things

When the Shark bites
When the Hawk strikes
When it’s looks like war
I simply remember my favorite Kings
Will capture the Cup once more!

Foxy and Evans, O’Neal and Miller
Shorthanded goals made by penalty killers
Number eleven, that nimble Slovene
These are a few of my favorite things

Pucks cleared and Pen's beard and multiple hat tricks
Power plays gained off of somebody’s high stick
Nolan and Clifford both taking a swing
These are a few of my favorite things

When you lose teeth
When your team’s beat
When it’s looks like war
I simply remember my favorite Kings
Will capture the Cup once more!

Men in home jerseys who kick ass and take names
Road trips that finish a series in four games
Carts on a break’way: my heart starts to sing
These are a few of my favorite things

Lewy and Dewy, a match made in heaven
Clogging the lanes we see “old” number seven
Days with Lord Stanley and Tiffany rings
These are a few of my favorite things

When your skull cracks
When your knee’s whacked
When it’s looks like war
I simply remember my favorite Kings
Will capture the Cup once more!
