This Day in Kings’ History (2012): Dustin Penner eliminates Phoenix in OT, which sends the Kings to the Stanley Cup Final
On May 22, 2012, the Kings advanced to the Stanley Cup Final for the second time in franchise history. Dustin Penner scored the series clinching goal in a 4-3 overtime win in Game 5 of the Western Conference Final against the Phoenix Coyotes.
For those now familiar with the series, here is the Off Campus series repping the Kings
They were invited to a game and led the GKG chant on the drum. Very few people knew who they were then or even about the show, so hopefully their presence can be appreciated now that the show is out! And hopefully their presence Kings will have them back again next season.

This Day in Kings’ History (2014): That 70s Line records 7 points against the Blackhawks
On May 21, 2014, Jeff Carter tied an NHL record, and set a Kings' playoff record when he recorded four points in the third period of Game 2 of the Western Conference Final. Carter recorded his second career playoff hat trick in a 6-2 win versus Chicago.
Realistically, what's it going to take for Brandt Clarke to have more minutes/opportunity like the future star defenseman everyone but the coaches know that he is?
Scenarios:
- New coach who understands how valuable Clarke is?
- Doughty's retirement?
- Moving out a D out?
[Strickland] Hearing Vegas has also denied LA permission to speak with Bruce Cassidy. Don’t believe Toronto has asked to talk to him as of last night.
i.redd.itHappy birthday to Jim Fox, Jari Kurri, and Marty McSorley!
Fuck Phil Danault
I hope the habs lose. Screw the goal he just scored.
How did DJ Smith utilize Byfield better than Jim Hiller?
I didn't get to watch that many games this year. But I did notice Byfield slow start in the first half of the season, and then he immediately caught fire when DJ Smith became coach. So what exactly did DJ Smith do better with Byfield than Jim Hiller?

Patrick O’Neal leaving Angels’ broadcasts and doesn’t know if he’ll be back with the Kings
It would be a shame if he isn’t brought back. Great at his job, really cares about the team and fans, and is always a total class act.
