Novelist dies in Mexico City
It just doesn't get better than Game 7 of the Stanley Cup finals. The ultimate game of the most intense tournament in the fastest, most demanding sport. Doesn't even matter who is playing, though in this case L.A. has a stake in the outcome. The players grow up dreaming of this moment. It takes 16 grueling wins over two months, then they are allowed to heft the Cup and blubber like a baby on national TV (albeit before a small audience, but one that totally gets it). L.A. Observed will be signing off at 5 p.m. PDT for as long as it takes to skate the Cup -- and will be pulling for sudden-death overtime.
