NHL Betting Online: The Los Angeles Kings, founded in 1967, have been fairly consistent over their forty plus years in the league. While they have reached the playoffs a respectable twenty-four times in their history, they have advance past the second round only once. A sports franchise has not lost early in the playoffs that consistently since the Minnesota Timberwolves drove Kevin Garnett out of town with seven consecutive first round exits.

For Kings fans, the highlight of the franchise came in 1988, when Bruce McNall, new owner of the Kings, made one of the biggest trades in NHL history, acquiring Wayne Gretzky from the Edmonton Oilers. Gretzky opened his career with the Kings by earning his ninth MVP award, and then eventually led the team to the only Stanley Cup Final in franchise history.

Gretzky created a buzz for hockey in Los Angeles that had never been seen before in the twenty years previous. After his departure, however, things went downhill, and the Kings have yet to fully recover.

Since the Stanley Cup Final appearance in 1993, the Kings have won just one playoff series, and appeared in only six postseasons. With an overall record of 11-23 in playoffs series, it is safe to say that the Kings have their playoff woes that need healing.

Last year was simply more of the same, as the Kings finished fourth in the Pacific and lost in the first round of the playoffs to the San Jose Sharks.

For the Kings to regain the excitement that once coursed through the Forum, they need another big offseason splash. The addition of former Flyers captain Mike Richards is a step in the right direction, though with a trade for Gretzky in your history books, there may not be a trade that fully excites the fans again.
