The LA Kings had 40 wins in their regular 2012 season.

They have won 12 games so far in the 2012 Stanley Cup Playoffs.

October 15, 1989 Los Angeles Kings vs. Edmonton Oilers.

How fitting that Wayne Gretzky would break Gordie Howe's scoring record in front of the very fans that saw him begin his NHL career. Gretzky played in Edmonton for nine years and brought that team 4 Stanley Cups.

Gretzky entered the game with 1,849 points just one point shy of the record and two back of history. Gretzky scored an assist five minutes into the first period to tie the record. The fans waited with anticipation throughout the remainder of the game as they were rewarded with just 61 seconds left in regulation when Gretzky came from behind the net and placed a backhander over the shoulder of Bill Ranford and under the crossbar to tie the game at 4 to 4. What took Gordie Howe twenty-five years and 1767 games to do, Gretzky did in just a little over ten years (this game was at the beginning of his eleventh NHL year) and in just 780 games.

In many places the ice is not removed; the basketball floor is placed over it. Of course, if they are not set up to put the floor over the ice, the ice is removed when going from ice hockey to basketball.

The best LA Kings player is there captain, Dustin Brown. But you can argue it could be Anze Kopitar, Drew Doughty, Jonathan Quick, or Alec Martinez.

"This Is LA" by The Briggs

The LA Kings play at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

"Casey" font seems VERY similar, even includes all the swashes for MANY of the baseball logos. The downside is its not free. It costs about $39 (at the time of this answer). There is another free one, but you have to make your own swoosh. It is called Baseball Weiner. You can do a search and its a free download.

Here's an approach based on mathematics, using travel/tournament baseball teams in New Jersey as a proxy. These youth leagues - AAU, Babe Ruth, American Legion, etc. - contain the elite players and serve as feeders to scholarships and minor league contracts.

Let's assume NJ is an average state as regards major league representation. This is reasonable given climate considerations. Florida and California probably have more since they play year 'round, while states with harsher climates than those of NJ probably see less participation in elite youth leagues.

Presently there are 20 MLB players who were born in New Jersey. The average baseball career is about five years per statistical studies. That means each year, four players born in New Jersey make the MLB. (It's rough, but it's a reasonable proxy. Work with me.)

In our NJ township we have 100,000 people as our population, and for each age group defined as year of birth, 50 kids play travel/tournament baseball. The population of NJ is about 8 million. Do the math and that yields a defensible estimate that 4,000 kids born in a given year are playing travel/tournament baseball in New Jersey.

So, for each year of birth, 4000 kids playing in these elite leagues will ultimately compete for the average of four MLB spots that will open up each year for New Jersey candidates.

So, sports fans, that means that if you achieve a spot on a travel/tournament baseball team - which is no easy task - your odds of making the MLB are...drum roll...1 in 1000.

That's depressing given that a recent survey showed that 10% of parents who have a kid playing on one those teams expects their son to make the MLB.

LA Kings join the league in the 1967 NHL expansion.

Six teams in total joined the league and were added to the "original six".

The six teams added to the NHL in '67 were;

California Seals (Later named Oakland Seals then California Golden Seals)

Los Angeles Kings

Minnesota North Stars

Pittsburgh Penguins

St. Louis Blues

their used to be kings and queens in LOS Angeles.

According to the Kings website, the original owner, Jack Kent Cooke wanted his new hockey club "to take on an air of royalty", hence he named his team the "Kings".

Too many to say.

Colin Fraser is number 24 on the Los Angeles Kings.

Justin Williams is number 14 on the Los Angeles Kings.

Depends on your skill, if you have a great shot range and can dunk, or if your tall and good at defence, chances are pretty high.

no he wasn't

Willie Mitchell is number 33 on the Los Angeles Kings.
