NHL team season; 2012 Stanley Cup Champions
The
2011β12 Los Angeles Kings
season was the
45th season (44th season of play) for the
National Hockey League (NHL) franchise. Although they finished the season with 95 points, and the eighth seed in the Western Conference playoffs, they went on to capture the first
Stanley Cup championship in team history.
[1]
[2]
Regular season
On December 12, 2011, the Kings fired head coach
Terry Murray and named
John Stevens interim head coach.
[3] On December 20, 2011, the Kings hired
Darryl Sutter to be their head coach, replacing Stevens.
[4]
With only one month to play in the regular season, the Kings were tenth in the Western Conference, two seeds away from a playoff spot. Their defense and goal tending being the only highlights throughout most of the season, highlighted by Jonathan Quick and Drew Doughty. The offense was loaded with talent, but unable to find any kind of significant consistency. Until the final month and a half, when they proceeded to go 12β4β3 in their final 19 games as their offense finally caught fire and started scoring the goals they lacked earlier in the year. Securing the eighth and final playoff seed in their 81st (and second-to-last game), a shoot-out loss to their arch rivals, the San Jose Sharks.
Out of the Kings' 82 regular season games, 21 ended in a shutout; the Kings were shut-out ten times, the most of any NHL team in the regular season.
[5]
[6]
Playoffs
The Kings made the playoffs for the third consecutive season, needing a win in the final game to secure the eighth seed. The Kings also became the second team to eliminate the first, second and third seeds from the playoffs in the same post-season (after the
2003β04 Calgary Flames ), as well as the only team to win the Stanley Cup after defeating the first, second and third seeds in sequence. (Darryl Sutter was the head coach of both the 2003β04 Flames and 2011β12 Kings.) They then defeated the
New Jersey Devils in the Stanley Cup Finals, becoming the first eighth seed in North American professional sports history to win a championship. They are also one of the few teams to win a championship after never benefiting from home-venue advantage in the post-season after the
1994-95 New Jersey Devils . Los Angeles would start every series by winning the first three games, only sweeping the St. Louis Blues.
