2012 LA Kings Stanley Cup Championship

[@JeffBondOO7]

The 2012 LA Kings had one of the best playoff runs I've ever seen. There was no beating this team.

[@23skidoo46]

this still brings a tear to my eye. I waited my entire life this moment and when it finally happened, I was overwhelmed w/emotion. the 2012 team will never be forgotten. amazing run.

[@bobareebop]

As much as I love Kopitar, Dustin Brown will forever be the Kings captain in spirit.

Yeah, even though Kopitar is an amazing player Brown is just a natural leader.

Much deserved win from a Devils fan, what a great story this team had, and the characters in that room. This is what a great team is, and they caught fire at the right time!

Man let me tell you, it was so exciting for us fans! By the time we got to the Devils, I just had hoped it would be a swift series to grab our first cup! Thanks for the sportsmanship!

[@user-vy2fy7gf9o]

Best run by any NHL franchise ever. Up 3-0 all 4 series. Considering they were up 3-0 in 2014 against NYR as well.

3-0 as an 8 seed, Western Conf. Finals the next year, won 3 game 7s on the road the following season. Hell of a 3 year run.

The Kings-Hawks playoff series' were the best of the decade, IMO.

[@TjSamson]

The Hawks and Kings will be back!

[@holup2691]

If you think about it, both the Kings and Hawks could have threepeated, they just happened to get in the way of each other for two years in a row. Doesn’t matter which eastern team made it to the dance. No one was stopping those two teams at the time, they were just built different. And I’m saying that begrudgingly as a Tampa fan who still remembers how soul crushing 2015 was lol. As good as that series was we really never stood a chance, it was the era of Hawks and Kings.

Can’t believe this was ten years ago. Attending game 6 was one of the best experiences of my life.

[@chrislouden6702]

I waited so many years for this to happen! I was born in Inglewood @ Cent Hospital. I was living in Fresno at the time and had all my neighbors and even some of Fresno police rocking out when they finally won! A few patrols stopped by just to say congrats! I was very happy it happened then my dad died a little while later!

[@deBebbler]

These championship videos never break new ground and always follow the same boring formula, but this one is probably the best one I have seen produced. For a Red Wings fan that had adopted a certain west coast franchise to be his 2nd favorite team, that was one fun year of hockey.

[@TjSamson]

I completely miss those years.

[@dirty.dan37]

It really sucks that this team doesn’t get the recognition it deserves across the world of sports cause it’ll either never happen again or not for a long long time

[@ethanparker7900]

I agree homie. I have never been much of a kings fan tbh but I will admit the 2 runs they went on were fun to see especially the first in 2012. I mean in 2012 they were the 8th seed in the regular season who BARELY made the playoffs and the Vancouver Canucks had back to back president's trophies and nearly won the cup entirely the year prior against Boston. No one not even myself thought the kings would get even close to a cup given that they were the second wild card who just barely made it in and I thought the Canucks would go deep again or even the second seeded Blues but man was I proven wrong for someone who was only 9 years old in the spring of 2012 lol. This run really showed me that ANYTHING can happen come when it comes to playoffs. Standings for regular season only give you home ice advantage other than that the standings in the regular season doesn't mean much at all. This mini dynasty from 2011-2016 was certainly a fun one to see since not many dynasties happen often.

All those hits all those now (1k+) games played i believe the greatest captain of them ALL & I mean ALL NHL, i was there at his draft i knew he was going 1 b the foundation of these 2 cups we all felt something special even at 18 years old myself my brothers I believe every Kings fan knew this guy was something unique, DB, a genetic hockey marvel. I have this crazy idea since most all r still playing , we would need a gutsy out side the box owner, leader, manager but lets bring them back for 1 more fact is i truly believe they all had some unfinished business i really believe that, they should have had 3! What a run (both times!) 41 years my 1st game i was 8 i still sometimes cant believe it all. The way they won both, 1st ever last seed, 1st in decades 2 come from 3 down, 1st ever 3 times game 7 on the ROAD, THANK U GUYS SO MUCH!

I can still close my eyes and see Trevor Lewis picking Hamhuis' pockets and getting the puck over to Stollie streamin' down the left side and scoring that game winning goal over the Canucks. They had been the President's Trophy Winners and our guys were also-rans? It was an impossible dream wghich could've gone either way for the Kings. But they won. I kind of felt sorry for the Canucks...right up until the Kings celebration behind the gaol and that fat-as(*& white Canucks fan giving them the finger. From their on out, my sympathy was gone forever. But I cried at the end and did it again when the won the Cup. It was truly an answer to my prayers-I didn't think I'd live long enough to see it happen!
