Former Kings and Ducks close to hoisting Stanley Cup

LA Times  

Golden Knights goaltender Jonathan Quick has experienced the delicious, fluttery anticipation of Stanley Cup Eve twice before. “It is a very, very calming influence throughout the locker room, and especially just like when we were able to win 16 games then, and what we’re trying to do now.” Vegas defenseman Alec Martinez played in front of Quick and scored the double-overtime goal that clinched the Cup for the Kings in 2014. The Golden Knights rely on former Ducks defenseman Shea Theodore, who has averaged 20 minutes’ ice time per game during the playoffs. Vegas Golden Knights defenseman Shea Theodore celebrates his goal against the Florida Panthers during the second period of Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals in Las Vegas. It would be fun to finish it off and have a trophy.” Vegas’ Kings alumni chapter also includes former Kings Michael Amadio and Ben Hutton, former Kings coach John Stevens as an assistant to coach Bruce Cassidy, and director of goaltending Sean Burke, who finished his career with the Kings in 2007.
