For years people would ask Grapes who the player was that came onto the ice to cause the too many men penalty. He would never say, which I thought was a very classy move. Big fan of Don Cherry. Miss him on HNIC.
Go Kings!!

Knickle played minor league hockey in my hometown for several years. He definitely paid his dues and has a feel good story. When I heard he was called up to the Kings I was ecstatic for him and even more happier when he did well.

It's a little surreal to me as a younger person how long the team's been 'round. Seeing pre-90's stuff especially.

I remember going to see Robb Stauber play early in the season. It was January 12, 1993 the Kings were playing the Ottawa Senators for the first time and Ottawa had only won 3 games so far that season.
Low and behold, Ottawa got the early 2 goal (2-0) lead and it looked like the Sens were going to get a win against the Kings. Yikes. Then The Kings scored goals by Rob Blake, Marty McSorley, and Warren Rychel to win the game in regulation. Stauber stuck it out, the Kings ended up winning the game 3-2.

March 25, 1971 Found this clip about Bob Pulford being honored for his 1000th game, it says he has scored 600 goals, the only player at that point that had scored 600 was Gordie Howe. The same mistake was in multiple papers that published the UPI article verbatim. I think they meant points since Pully had 643 of those. No brawl this time with only 4 minor penalties called all game, the Kings won 5-3 with 2 goals from Mike Byers and Mike Murphy.
March 25, 1981 Jerry Korab has 3 assists in a Kings 4-2 win over Chicago in front of 12,347 without Dave Taylor and Charlie Simmer. Marcel Dionne was held off the score sheet as Jim Fox, Andre St. Laurent, Greg Terrion and Mike Murphy lit the lamp. Love the ad that says "1000 good seats released 1 1/2 hours before game time", Bill Wirtz could sell booze, but was **** at marketing a team in the 3rd largest media market.
March 24, 1981 The reason the Kings were gassed is that the Kings escort service defense was on full display as Mario Lessard stopped 65 of 68 shots in a Kings 4-3 win at the Met in front of 12,896. Jim Fox, Mark Hardy, Dave Lewis and Mike Murphy lit the lamp for the Kings as they held off a North Stars onslaught that had them outshot 29-2 in the 3rd with only 1 goal being scored.

OK, that game I remember. Big time game by Lessard. However, it showed off the problem the team had overall that season: DEFENSE or a lack thereof. They got trounced by the Rangers in the playoffs because of it. Losing Simmer was nothing compared to the "matador" defense the Kings put on the ice every night.

March 30, 1976 The Kings come to Kansas City, for what ends up being the last game of the Scouts, mired in a 23 game winless streak:
7,123 show up to Kemper Arena as the Scouts take a 6-5 lead into the 3rd, but the Kings quash all hopes with 3 goals in the 3rd, Tom Williams had a hat trick while Butch Goring added 4 assists. Mike Corrigan had 2 goals as well. Dave Hutchison and Steve Durbano had a scrap in the 2nd with both benches getting penalties for abusive language. Wonder how good it was?
Also a feature on future King Gary Unger, who had just recently set the ironman record in the NHL with the Blues who are in LA to take on the Kings on the 1st, also some nice insight about the Dead Things and how they were run:

April 1, 1972, the Kings play their first April Fool's Day game, but its the Seals that are the fools in a 9-4 rout. Butch Goring had a hat trick, Giles Marotte had a goal and three assists, and Serge Bernier had a goal and two assists. The Kings pelted Giles Maroche for 43 shots in the last game of the season. Fred "I haven't a clue" Glover was on many players minds as the WHA is coming around and are willing to sign up there if Glover is kept on as head coach.

April 4, 1976, the Kings are the last NHL team to visit the Oakland Coliseum Arena as the shorthanded Seals win 5-2:
A pathetic crowd of 6,442 watched Dennis Maruk score 2 goals, while the Kings had goals from Marcel Dionne and Gary Sargent. Future King Charlie Simmer was a -2 with 4 PIM. The Kings will take on Atlanta as Syl Apps Jr scores for the Pens with 3 seconds to go to give them a victory over Detroit, had Pittsburgh lost, they would be taking on the Kings and the Flames would be taking on Toronto.

Well, the Seals ended up moving that summer to Cleveland so whatever worries the owner had came to fruition. I think what happened over the next decade was pretty round-a-bout. The Seals were sold to the Gund brothers so they were moved to Cleveland. It didn't work out there after two seasons either so the NHL "contracted" to 17 teams by merging Cleveland Barons with the Minnesota North Stars and the Gund brothers got ownership interest in the North Stars. Roughly 10 years later the Gunds ended up selling the North Stars and took interest in the new team that the NHL was putting in San Jose. So in a weird way the Seals ended up back in the Bay Area.
Maruk ended up in Cleveland and then Minnesota. I think he later got traded to Washington. He was a pretty underrated player. Another pretty good player they had was Gill Meloche (sp?) the goalie.

April 7, 1982, the Kings visit Edmonton to start their opening round series, the Oilers had gone 9 games without a loss, while the Kings had lost 7 of 8. Pretty long article about the Kings version of Esa Tikkanen, Dan Bonar who is going to try to shadow The Great One this series:
The game turns into a game of pond hockey as the Kings are down 4-1 after only 9 minutes with 2 goals by Risto Siltanen, the Kings then fought back to make it a 8-6 Kings lead at the end of the second with 2 goals by rookie Daryl Evans and 2 by Marcel Dionne. The Oilers tie it up again by the 10 minute mark with a goal by Gretzky and Matti Hagman. Charlie Simmer scores what ends up being the game winner with 5 minutes to go. Goalie Mario Lessard stops a Gretzky breakaway fed by Jari Kurri with just more than a minute remaining. 20 seconds later Bernie Nicholls scores an empty netter to make it 10-8 Kings in front of a shocked Northlands crowd.
Also announced is a contract extension for Dave Taylor, reports have it at over $3 million over 7 years.

April 10, 1982 The Kings come to the Forum tied in the best of 5 series after Gretzky scored on a breakaway in OT to win Game 2.
Not even the top story in the Times that next day (Fernandomania was in full bloom and pitched 6 shutout innings in a 6-0 Dodger win over the Padres) after the Miracle on Manchester we all know and love, owner Jerry Buss left when the score was 5-1 and missed the wild conclusion. If you wanted to see it, you had to be there, no TV coverage.

Incredible! Thank you for sharing. Many years ago, I had a hobby of looking at microfilm at the public library of old newspaper articles, and this was one of the first I looked up.

April 14, 1990, Game 6 of the first round, in the longest game in Kings history, Mike Krushelnyski scores a floater goal over Mike Vernon to win the game 4-3 and the series. The goal light had turned on early in the OT for Calgary's Brian MacLellan, but after consultation with the on ice officials it was ruled no goal. (Video Review didn't start until the 91-92 season) Steve Duchesne scores twice including the game tying goal with 1:43 left to put the Forum into a frenzy.
The remainder of the article is missing from the archive. The Calgary writers didn't mince words for how bad the Smythe Division winners played...

I still think MacLellan scored in OT....I even remember still being a bit pissed the Kings traded him some years before. I always thought he was a good player.
