from Jon Rosen of LA Kings Insider,
The Los Angeles Kings are having fun again. This is something that has been written before. On Monday, Drew Doughty said it, and Alec Martinez backed him up.
“Yeah. I second that. Third, fourth, whatever you want to call it,” Martinez said. “It’s no secret. We’ve all talked about it. Hockey is fun again.”
Any discussion about How The Kings Are Having Fun obviously weighs it against the context of the last several seasons, which weren’t particularly fruitful. Daryl Sutter could crack the whip; he also won two Stanley Cups as the greatest coach in franchise history. But, without the playoff wins to reinforce his exacting approach, the process grew sore, and the loss of team leader Jonathan Quick 20 minutes into the first game of the 2016-17 exacerbated the team’s challenges.
