Thread: Bavis and Bailey families at Ground Zero w/ Stanley Cup

Wow. Wow. Wow. I don't know what else to say.

I was just at Ground Zero last weekend.

Me and the GF donned our Cup shirts and took a few pics next to Mark and Ace.

Yup, they have wearing that since the 01-02 season.

“The one thing that was the most neat, the sister had said they had never been to Ground Zero before and said, ‘We have no interest in going there. The only way we’d ever go there would be in a celebration mode for these guys with the Stanley Cup.’ And she wasn’t kidding,” Lombardi said. “This was an incredibly emotional day for them. “This is the first day that any of them had been there.

Hopefully it helped some with the healing process.

I defy ANYONE in professional sports to show me a Classier organization, or one that has classier fans than the LA Kings. What an incredible emotional journey this has been for those families and to finally set foot at the memorial to celebrate something so great, but at the same time putting closure to something so tragic, is amazing.
