Kings claim The Cup: New royalty by the numbers
By Andrew Tolentino | Beckett Hockey Editor
For the first time in franchise history, the Los Angeles Kings are Stanley Cup champions.
As the Staples Center in Los Angeles continues to echo from Monday’s history-maker, the hobby tips its hat to the newly crowned Kings. Under the leadership of head coach and hockey great Darryl Sutter, the Kings dominated the New Jersey Devils 6-1 in Game 6. A major victory for a major media market team — a potentially powerful popularity booster for the sport itself.
Using the Beckett.com OPG, let’s take a look at where the latest Cup kissers stand in the hobby right this second. Expect some spikes in the weeks to come.
