I've been a Kings fan my whole life, so I've seen 30+ years of players come and go, and Dave Taylor has ALWAYS been the favorite for me and my family! So tonight, when I tore into my mail box, I literally gasped when I saw what my Santa sent me - a Dave Taylor autographed puck! A DAVE TAYLOR AUTOGRAPHED PUCK!

I called my Mom to tell her (she already wants to steal it from me), and I realized as I was on the phone with her, that voice was way higher-pitched than usual. I called by boyfriend to tell him (he thinks it's pretty awesome), and he pointed out that I needed to bring my voice down to an audible level soon. Now I have a headache, and I'm trying to get my adrenaline to come down a little, I'm just so giddy and excited! This is so cool!

Thank you! Words cannot describe (plus you wouldn't want to hear any from me right now anyways)

True story Dave Taylor was my first "celebrity encounter" We all got decked out in all our Kings gear one night, and went down to an autograph signing near the end of his playing career. I don't even remember if I had anything for him to sign, I was just so excited to MEET him! (I was young) We stood in line for hours (seriously at least 3), and I blabbed on and on the whole time about how much I wanted to meet him, he's my hero, all the things I want to say to him (I was young). Oh my gosh, it's our turn! Yep, stood there staring and didn't say one f-ing word! There went my one and only chance to meet an idol, a role model, a legendary player, and I blew it, royally! We still laugh about it! But at least now, I've got his autograph :)
