Fear of Missing Out Playoff Running Diary: Flames @ Kings, Game 4, 1990 Smythe Semifinal

The top of the Jewels From the Crown website said it all this morning:

Willie Desjardins gone, Toffoli calls practice effort “pathetic”, no new coach yet, Kings slip to fifth in the draft. WHAT ELSE?

With that in mind—and the 2019 Stanley Cup Playoffs starting—I needed to be part of the action. My fear of missing out (FOMO) had kicked in full force, so I got in the DeLorean and traveled back in time to just around this time in 1990.

April 10, 1990 was when the Los Angeles Kings laid down a beating in the Massacre on Manchester against the defending Stanley Cup Champion Calgary Flames in Game Four of the 1990 Smythe Division Semifinals.
