The Kings-Rangers double-overtime thriller in 2014 deserves a deep rewind

  • It’s June 13th, 2014. We’re in L.A. where the hometown Kings are battling the New York Rangers in game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final. Tied at two, nearly 15 minutes into a second overtime. Someone’s gotta score.
    If LA can take control of the puck, every shot attempt has the chance to bring them their second Cup in three years. Their road has been anything but straightforward, they’ve overcome the odds with absurd regularity, in large part thanks to Jonathan Quick - their man between the pipes.
    If the Rangers can get another past him they’ll not only live to see game six but potentially steal the momentum of a series that could easily be in their control. If they can fully pull off the comeback, it would be the final feather in the already feather-filled cap of one of the most impressive goaltenders we’ve ever seen.

      Nah. Although this gave the Kings the Stanley Cup, the miracle on Manchester is still the Kings greatest OT playoff win. Rallying from 5-0 down in the 3rd period to tie the game, then winning in OT vs the dynasty era Oilers in 1982 will forever be their greatest win---- Kings fan since 72.

    Those Kings teams were so magical but it all seems like a fever dream now. Watching this reminded me of so many little details I had forgotten. I watched this game live in my weird little store front apartment in Echo Park. My wife who was pregnant with our first child had invited some people over to hang out after the game. I never thought this game would last so long so here I was watching one of the most thrilling games in NHL history on mute while trying to explain its significance to my wife’s friend’s disinterested boyfriend and brother. There are some diehard hockey fans in LA but they are few and far between. So as a Kings fan you always have to justify your passion for this team and this sport. To this day I still hold a grudge against those people in my home who were dead silent when Alec Martinez sealed the deal in one of the greatest moments in LA sports history. I was freaking out but I had no one to share that excitement with. This was just a few months before we moved out of that funky little storefront and fatherhood changed my life forever. But I’ll never forget that glorious moment. Go Kings, go!

    An extra note: the call at the end was from the CBC broadcast. That was the last NHL game CBC will produce until at least 2026 (year when the current tv deal expires). The next season, 2014-15, Rogers Sportsnet took over the national tv rights and Hockey Night in Canada broadcasting. And while CBC still broadcasts HNIC, they are doing it under a sublicense deal with Rogers. So yeah, for Canadians this moment has an special meaning because it was the end of an era for Canada’s biggest sports tradition in television.

Not just because it was a 3-0 comeback but the Kings actually took complete control in every single one of those games they won. They completely manhandled the Sharks with a combined score of 18-5 in the last 4 games that you almost forgot they were the team that was down 3-0 lol

      Well on the bright side at least you got to see Selanne and Getzlaf/Perry win a cup with the team. Could be worse, you could be the Sharks. Years of failure with one of the best teams in the league and now they are signing older players to ridiculous contracts when they should be trading them away for assets. Ducks current trajectory isn’t too far off of becoming a playoff team again. Hopefully we’ll see another Freeway Faceoff series again soon.

      2015 has to be the most heartbraking out of all of those years. We were one damn game away from the cup finals and we had so many chances to win those OT games vs the Blackhawks that we lost. I think we would've beaten Tampa that year, too. That was easily our best team ever besides the 07 team.

    Being born in the Central valley of California , I never really played or followed hockey growing up. Then I met a friend who moved from Canada while I was in highschool and his family and I watched the 2010 winter olympics. I remember watching Team USA vs Team Canada and saying whoever this goalie on Team USA I will follow their because if that's their goalie they'll always have a shot. Turned out to be Jonathan Quick of the Los Angeles Kings. Me being a Laker/Dodger/(LA) Raider fan i was shocked/ecstatic. After reading/watching the early Kings history it was crazy to see this team go on such a run. It was like I was meant to be King fan and now I follow them till this day.

    No one will ever repeat the crazy playoff runs the kings had in 2012 and 2014
    2012 they went up 3-0 in every series as an 8th seed and only lost one road and it was game 5 of the Stanley cup finals
    Then 2014 down 3-0 in the opening series vs. the sharks and come back with the reverse sweep. Then in the conference semi finals Down 3 games 2 to the ducks and came back on them. And then that series vs. the black hawks. They never had the lead in game 7 I remember going crazy at dodger stadium with my co worker, we also worked at staples center at the time, when Martinez scored that OT winner. And then all those epic OT games with the rangers. I don’t think we will ever see a team win 3 game 7’s all on the road. I was in the building at staples center working for both Stanley cup clinching games. I’ll never forget it !

    Fun fact, the pick used to draft Martinez came from the Capitals. LA and DC did a day 2 deal in the 2007 NHL draft, where LA got DC’s 2007 4th, while DC got LA’s 2007 6th and 2008 4th. LA’s pick was Alex Martinez, and DC selected goalies Dan Dunn with the 2007 6th, and Braden Holtby with the 2008 4th. Trade worked out pretty well for both teams.

When the first OT ended we decided to go to a bar like a 2 minute drive away and I drove like a bat out of hell to get there and parked even though we had 20 minutes. Then ordered a burger and literally was afraid to look down to pick it up to eat as I might miss something. Place went nuts for about 2 minutes when they scored and then went back to normal. One of the best moments of my sports life.

    There is so much that can be said about the 2012-14 Kings. Firing the coach halfway through 2012, the two massively impactful deadline pickups of Carter and Gaborik, the domination of the West in 2012, the three Game 7s and reverse sweep in 2014, the 2013 series against the Sharks and Blues featuring 11 out of 13 games decided by 1 goal... it was truly a golden age for them
