Each week CaliSports News will present the updated list of the NHL Pacific Division standings. This week in the NHL the Los Angeles Kings are sitting at the bottom in the standings. See it below:
Here is a recap from their game last night:
“It was a memorable game for the Kings faithful as controversial player, Rob Blake, had his jersey retired and lifted to the banners following an interesting history with the team.
The Kings scored the first goal of the game:
NHL.com reports the following about the Anaheim Ducks first goal:
“Ryan Getzlaf tied it 1-1 with his 14th goal at 14:19 of the second. Getzlaf won a faceoff and went to the net to chip in a rebound off Corey Perry’s initial shot. The Kings have had trouble protecting the front of the net lately and could not get a body on Getzlaf and Patrick Maroon.”

The Los Angeles Kings honored a very controversial player last night:
“Today at the Staples Center, before the game against the rival Anaheim Ducks, the Los Angeles Kings are going to host a ceremony to retire the jersey “#4″ with a banner in tribute to current Kings’ assistant general manager, former Kings’ player and team Captain Rob Blake. The jersey number will be the sixth in Kings’ history to be retired and will hang beside the other 5 retired numbers that include the legendary names of Wayne “The Great One” Gretzky (arguably the greatest player to ever play the game, so great in fact that his iconic #99 was also retired league wide) and the highest scoring left winger in NHL history (and current Kings’ President of business operations) Luc Robitaille (#20). Also retired and just as important are the numbers of three Los Angeles Kings pioneers, who’s hard work and talent paved the way to put LA on the hockey map. They are goaltender Rogie Vachon (#30) , former player and GM of the Kings Dave Taylor (#18) and one of the most underrated goal scorers and forwards in league history, Triple Crown line leader and Hall of Famer, Marcel Dionne (#16). Blake’s retired number will be in the company of the higher echelon of Los Angeles Kings royalty something that I like to call the “Royal Five.”“
