Last week the Los Angeles Kings won their first Stanley Cup in franchise history, defeating the NJ Devils in six games in what was a very competitive series.

Simon Gagne had not played in a hockey game since December 26, 2011.
Had he not played once during the Stanley Cup Finals, the Los Angeles Kings organization would have to petition the NHL to have his name added to Cup if they beat the New Jersey Devils.

In a less-than-inspiring effort last night the Flyers fell to the hapless Carolina Hurricanes 4-2 at the Wells Fargo Center for their second straight loss in regulation to a non-playoff team.
The Flyers played without key defenseman Chris Pronger and Braydon Coburn and resurgent foward Jaromir Jagr. They dressed two AHL defenseman—Marc-Andre Bourdon and Kevin Marshall—who, [...]
