What made last season memorable? Was it Jonathan Quick setting new marks for Los Angeles Kings goaltenders, multiple times? How about the debut of 3-on-3 overtime, and more specifically, the discovery that the Kings were really good at it? Or perhaps it was Drew Doughty and Anze Kopitar breaking LA’s long streak of not winning individual awards?
How about the fact that it was, technically, the most victorious regular season LA has ever had?
Maybe we’re spoiled by all this playoff success, or maybe it’s because LA was in the middle of a slump, but there was little fanfare when the Kings won in overtime in Calgary on April 5.
