"Great idea - you can lead with how well the LA Kings are playing!"
Another fan took the opportunity to praise hockey as a family-friendly experience, drawing a stark contrast with the perceived rowdiness of NFL crowds.
"Good for him. The product is great to watch, and the stadium and fans are much more family friendly than the drunk fighting NFL crowd. Playoff hockey is great and there is much more parity in NHL than NFL because it’s not QB dominant almost any team has a real shot to win."

"smart kid," the wrote.
