Los Angeles Kings Earn First Stanley Cup in Franchise History With 6-1 Win Over the Devils in Game 6

Los Angeles is now the king of the hockey world. The Los Angeles Kings celebrated their first Stanley Cup victory since the franchise's inception in 1967 with a 6-1 victory over the Devils last night in Game 6 of the finals at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

After falling behind 3 games to none in the best of seven series, New Jersey battled back with victories in games 4 and 5, but the Kings, a team full of talent who didn't start to put it all together until just before the postseason, proved to be too much, and they overwhelmed the Devils in game 6.

The Kings became the first 8th seed to claim the Cup after knocking off the top three seeds in the Western Conference on the way to defeating the 6th seeded Devils in the finals.
