L.A. Mayor At Kings Stanley Cup Rally: "This Is A Big Fuckin' Day"

The Kings Celebrate Stanley Cup Win Next To Devastated Henrik Lundqvist
The immediate aftermath of Alec Martinez's game-winning, double-overtime goal for the Stanley Cup on Friday night was a flash. Net, referee signals goal, and a Los Angeles mob around Martinez.

Alec Martinez Was Mic'd Up For His Double-OT Stanley Cup Winner
Los Angeles Kings defenseman Alec Martinez deposited a meaty rebound in the back of the net at 14:43 in double-overtime, giving the Kings a 3-2 win and the Stanley Cup.

Woman Walking On Staples Center Ice Eats It On Live TV

CBC Loses Signal In Middle Of Stanley Cup Celebration

Lego Kings And Rangers, Getting Wrecked In A Blender
This video, from the "Will it Blend?" folks, purports to predict a winner of Kings-Rangers by seeing whose Lego knockoff Lego players survive. On a more primal level, enjoy it as super-high-speed camera footage of little Lego men (and a little Lego zamboni!) getting destroyed in a blender. [via Puck...

The Rangers' Unsung Heroes Are UFAs. Will NHL GMs Take Notice?

Fallen Rangers Fan Is The Saddest Subway Rider

Luck Is Hockey's "Bullshit Dump"
That up there is Bruce Bennett's photo for Getty, zoomed in to unsustainable resolution, but still clearly showing the millimeters of shaved ice that brought the loose, potentially game-tying puck to a halt with 1:11 left. The notoriously shitty surface at MSG tends to increasingly make itself known...
