ICYMI: The LA Kings Might Have Won The Stanley Cup in 2 OT's

((ht: nhl.com))

I'm quite honestly surprised Brother Jon hasn't gushed all over this story...but then again as a life-long, devoted Kings fan, he may still be celebrating.

The Los Angeles Kings won their 2nd Stanley Cup Title in 3-years Friday night with a 3-2 win in Double Overtime over the New York Rangers, the game was played in L.A.

The win gave the Kings a 4-1 series win over the Rangers and while it looked on the surface like a Kings runaway, the series was much closer than it looked.

Defenseman Alec Martinez dropped in a rebounded shot at the 14:43 mark of the 2nd OT and becomes a hero in NHL annals. It was Martinez, who had an overtime game winner in Game 7 of the Western Conference finals vs. the Chicago Blackhawks.

Needless to say, without Martinez's heroics, we may not be having this conversation.

The Kings Justin Williams walked away with the Conn Smythe Trophy as the playoff MVP and it was well deserved,

UPDATE: Yes, Brother Jon was celebrating quite well...
