2. During the 1993 Stanley Cup Finals game 2, a player committed a controversial penalty that many say swayed the series favor toward Montreal. Who was this player?

Answer: Marty McSorley

In game 2, McSorley was caught with an illegal stick. On the ensuing powerplay, Montreal's Eric Desjardins scored to tie the game at 2. Desjardins added another in overtime to seal the victory 3-2. The Kings ultimately lost the series 4-1.

Answer: Jamie Storr

After the hit, Storr's focus immediately deteriorated, and he allowed 4 goals resulting in a 4-3 loss for the Kings.

4. Who dropped the gloves to fight Geoff Courtnall after Courtnall charged the Kings goalie in round 1 game 3 of the 1998 playoffs against the Blues?

Answer: Sean O'Donnell

This resulted in a five minute major for O'Donnell as Courtnall did not fight back. The Kings were down a man for 5 minutes, where the Blues racked up all 4 of their goals for the 4-3 victory. The Kings would lose the series 4-0.

5. What former King's center drafted third overall, was traded in the deal to get Ziggy Palffy?

Answer: Olli Jokinen

The Kings acquired star right wing Zigmund Palffy and veteran center Bryan Smolinski on June 20, 1999, in exchange for center prospect Olli Jokinen, forward prospect Josh Green, defenseman prospect Mathieu Biron, and the Kings' first-round pick in the 1999 NHL Entry Draft.

6. Which of the following players was not part of the LAPD line which existed during the 2001-2002 and 2002-2003 seasons?

Answer: Man Games Lost

In the 2002-03 NHL season, the Kings just missed breaking the unofficial NHL record for the most man-games lost to injury in a season with 536. But with injuries to key players such as Adam Deadmarsh, Ziggy Palffy, and Jason Allison, they would easily surpass the record in the 2003-04 NHL season with 629 man-games lost.

Answer: Luc Robitaille
