Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. In 1993, the Kings made an amazing run to the Stanley Cup Finals. Who did they defeat in the first round of the playoffs?

Answer: Calgary Flames

The Kings beat the Flames 4-2 in the series, scoring a total of 33 goals.
2. During the 1993 Stanley Cup Finals game 2, a player committed a controversial penalty that many say swayed the series favor toward Montreal. Who was this player?

Answer: Marty McSorley

In game 2, McSorley was caught with an illegal stick. On the ensuing powerplay, Montreal's Eric Desjardins scored to tie the game at 2. Desjardins added another in overtime to seal the victory 3-2. The Kings ultimately lost the series 4-1.
3. After a long playoff drought, the Kings finally returned in 1998. In round 1, the Kings were down 2-0 in the series coming home for 2 games. They had a 3-0 lead going into the third period when the Blues' Geoff Courtnall charged into the Kings goalie, and giving the goalie a concusion. Who was this goalie?

Answer: Jamie Storr

After the hit, Storr's focus immediately deteriorated, and he allowed 4 goals resulting in a 4-3 loss for the Kings.
4. Who dropped the gloves to fight Geoff Courtnall after Courtnall charged the Kings goalie in round 1 game 3 of the 1998 playoffs against the Blues?

Answer: Sean O'Donnell

This resulted in a five minute major for O'Donnell as Courtnall did not fight back. The Kings were down a man for 5 minutes, where the Blues racked up all 4 of their goals for the 4-3 victory. The Kings would lose the series 4-0.
5. What former King's center drafted third overall, was traded in the deal to get Ziggy Palffy?

Answer: Olli Jokinen

The Kings acquired star right wing Zigmund Palffy and veteran center Bryan Smolinski on June 20, 1999, in exchange for center prospect Olli Jokinen, forward prospect Josh Green, defenseman prospect Mathieu Biron, and the Kings' first-round pick in the 1999 NHL Entry Draft.
6. Which of the following players was not part of the LAPD line which existed during the 2001-2002 and 2002-2003 seasons?

Answer: Ian Laperriere

LAPD is an acronym for the Los Angeles Police Department, but in this case the acronym was used for Los Angeles' Allison Palffy Deadmarsh. When all three were healthy, the line was one of the most dangerous in the league.
7. The Kings called the Great Western Forum home from 1967 to 1999. During their tenure at the Forum, three player's numbers were retired. Which of the following was not a number retired at the Forum?

Answer: 99

Wayne Gretzky's number 99 wasn't retired until October 9, 2002 at Staples Center. 30 Rogatien "Rogie" Vachon, G, 1972-78 (February 14, 1985); 16 Marcel Dionne, RW, 1975-87 (November 8, 1990); 18 Dave Taylor, LW, 1977-94 (April 3, 1995).
8. On April 18, 2001, round 1 game 4 of the Stanley Cup playoffs between the Kings and the Red Wings was played. The Red Wings took a commanding 3-0 lead after two periods. With just over 6 minutes left in the game, the Kings started what would be an improbable comeback. Which of the following did not score a goal during their comeback?

Answer: Adam Deadmarsh

The miraculous come-from-behind win, now known as the "Frenzy On Figueroa", swung the momentum toward the Kings who would go on win the series 4-2.
9. What unwanted unofficial record did the Kings come close to breaking in the 2002-03 season, and then easily break in the 2003-04 season?

Answer: Man Games Lost

In the 2002-03 NHL season, the Kings just missed breaking the unofficial NHL record for the most man-games lost to injury in a season with 536. But with injuries to key players such as Adam Deadmarsh, Ziggy Palffy, and Jason Allison, they would easily surpass the record in the 2003-04 NHL season with 629 man-games lost.
10. Who became the first player to score more than 550 of their career goals as a member of the Kings?

Answer: Luc Robitaille

On the night of January 19, 2006, during a game against the Atlanta Thrashers, "Lucky" Luc Robitaille surpassed Marcel Dionne on the Kings' all-time franchise scoring list with his second goal of the night, his (551st) goal in a Kings uniform. He would go on to add an empty netter for the hat-trick.
