Coach passed away today He was arguably the best coach we ever had and should have coached this team well into the 1980's if it was not for JKC being an asshat.

Still our only coach to win the Jack Adams.

One of our favorites. We had season seats from 72-79 and loved watching him play and coach. Dean Lombardi's father-in-law. RIP coach.

Pulford was a key player on the 4-time Cup winning Leafs in the 1950s/60s before joining the Kings in 1970. I remember that player well as both the Canadiens and the Leafs regularly beat up my hometown Bruins in that 6-team era. As I said, great player… and great memories for sure.

Sorry to hear this. He was a great coach that taught the Kings how to play defense in front of Vachon.

...and, yes, Cooke was an asshat.
