History[edit | edit source]
A Late Revival (1912-1918)[edit | edit source]
In 1912 the idea of a hockey team was still a rumor, but was voted by the government "in" and the Ducks, "out". The hardest part about this was that they needed an arena and they had no choice but to start their franchise at the forum.
In 1914 the franchise won their first Stanley Cup after only 2 years in existince, and you could tell that Shark fans were pissed. The team would then go into a decline untill the late 1970's.
A Start Of A Decline (1918 - 1920)[edit | edit source]
In 1918 people started to realise that the Kings suck, and it came at a bad time because L.A. wouldin't finance the Kings, stating that they thought they were "big boys now.".
In 1920 A construction of a new arena started, but failed. The plans for the arena would not go into effect untill 1972.
The End Of A Decline (1920-1922)[edit | edit source]
In 1921 The Kings finally got up on their feet, stood up together as a whole, and said "f*** you" to the NHL and it's staff. They would then serve a 20 year penalty of being forced to suck. The team would try to keep this secret, but since it's on here, I don't think it was very secret!!!
In 1922 the end of the decline started a whole franchise decline. This wasin't the "decline era", It was the "King era".
1922-1942[edit | edit source]
The end of the penaly issued was ended, but the Kings were still sucking, so the Kings had to take crystal meth before each game to kill ATLEAST one player per game. A sad, sad, time in Los Angeles it was. But, these are the Kings we're talking about so, who gives a f***? The Kings were as bad as a cat humping a squirrel, and that was soon their primary logo of the 1940's
