Not a jackass in the building. I was moved how quiet that building was. I hope the Courtney family was there to see and hear what I saw and heard. That was incredibly respectful. Thanks to the Kings, Bob Miller, and all the fans in attendance.

The only negative was that great moment was done prior to the NBC feed (I think).

It must have been prior to NBC joining the game because I did not see it at home. I'm glad they did that and sorry that NBC didn't show it.

May I add the person playing "Angry Birds" in section 314 (maybe it was 315) on their phone to that list?

I still think the Kings need to use his Ladies and Gentlemen, Your Los Angeles Kings into when the team skates out onto the ice. And I know I'm not the only one.

Firstly, it sucked that NBC didn't show it and yes it was strange when I heard his voice announcing the cup, it took a second for me to realize that that wasn't right, spooky.

I get what you are saying, I really do, but Dave is no longer with us and it is time to move on. This place is going to go nuts when Bob retires.

I wanted to see a hologram of Jack Kent Cooke lifting the Cup.

I was there & thought, WOW!!! I couldnt believe it was soooooo quiet!!! Very powerful moment/minute of silence....until, the whistles & I love you's started... Nice tribute and Boo to NBC for not airing it!!! I do agree, that using David's voice announcing the Kings onto the ice, would be nice to continue. Derek Jeter has the audio of the Yankees announcer (name escapes me) announce him , everytime he comes to bat at home- kinda nice tribute. Just my 2 cents.

It was so freaking quiet in there I actually heard the air conditioning units humming. I couldn't believe it.

This x1,000,000
There is some sort of thing that happens where people think that someone who dies needs to stay with us forever. Things change and acceptance is part of that.

The one thing I didn't notice was if the players were wearing a DC decal on their helmets.
