Stanley Cup: Kings are the Don Larsen of hockey

Ken Campbell of The Hockey News sees parallels between the Kings’ unprecedented Stanley Cup run and the perfect game thrown by the pedestrian Don Larsen in the 1956 World Series.

That, in fact, is the most frequently asked question: How come it took the Kings all season to even get into the playoffs?

It’s a shame in a way because it continues to invalidate the long-invalidated regular season. It seems like a long time since the Kings were shut out twice at home in succession, 1-0.
