L.A. Kings Put Will Ferrell "Go Kings Go" Video Sign Outside MSG
There is a monstrous video screen with Will Ferrell's mug shouting "Go Kings Go," and other ravings about losing his mind, in the shadow of the Empire State Building.

The Kings Will Beat You At Their Game, Or Yours
A game can be a classic without being particularly good hockey. We haven't had a conference final Game 7 go to OT in 20 years, so Kings-Blackhawks qualifies as an all-timer just on sheer novelty, but it was ugly at times. Bad goaltending, lax backchecking, freak bounces on questionable ice, and goal...

The End Of The First Period Of Kings-Hawks Was A Goal Smorgasbord

Kings Win In OT; Jonas Hiller Looks Crushed
Oh man, poor Jonas Hiller. The way he whips his body around and looks back after that goal trickles in, you can feel his anguish and disbelief, even though he's wearing a mask. He is staring daggers through that puck. At 12:07 in overtime, Marian Gaborik redirected Anze Kopitar's pass and it sort o...
