Man, I love Cuba Gooding Jr. One of the few LA based celebrity hockey fans that won't just show up for the finals (looking at you: Cruise, Tom and Beckhams). Let the man drink, be merry and dance to songs that may only exist within the confines of his head. He's a national treasure as far as Kings fans are…
