The L.A. Kings Just Won The Stanley Cup

    It went to double-overtime, but Los Angeles is the King of hockey once again.

    The Los Angeles Kings are your Stanley Cup champions. After a 3rd period comeback, the Kings defeated the New York Rangers 3-2 in double-overtime en route to capturing their second Stanley Cup in three seasons.

    After three overtime periods in the first two games, the Kings had a dominating 3-0 performance in New York in Game 3, only to fall inches short of a possible sweep with a 2-1 loss.

    Now back in Los Angeles for Game 5, the Rangers carried a 2-1 lead into the 3rd period, but were hit with a controversial tripping penalty that led to the game-tying power play goal.

    In the second overtime, it was Alec Martinez with the trophy-clinching goal for the Kings.

    Justin Williams, the leading scorer of the Stanley Cup final, was named the Conn Smythe winner as the MVP of the playoffs.
