I have 75 photos, so we’ll break them up into three parts. It starts inside Staples Center. Before the Kings got on the buses, they took their official team photo with some hardware. Then it was out to the street to get on the buses…
(Daryl Evans joined KTLA Ch. 5′s great coverage.)
(Jarret Stoll, Jim Fox and Bob Miller.)
(Slava Voynov and Willie Mitchell.)
(Justin Williams and Trevor Lewis)
(Getting ready to load the hardware on the flatbed truck.)
(Jim Fox with his wife, Susie.)
(The unofficial start of the parade route.)
(We could have taken the carpool lane.)
(Petros Papadakis, broadcasting live.)
(Turning onto Figueroa for the start of the parade.)
More, more!!!

I’ve received three from friends who work downtown and went to watch–two of them are not hockey fans, until they caught the bug from me in the past couple of weeks–teared up each time a photo arrived. Thanks for these, Rich.

@concussionman02,
That was not exactly cool! Lots of kids watching and this was not a heat of the moment thing like the first time right after the game 6. Not that I care personally, but wish me luck trying to explain it to my 13-yr daughter watching it live in her room.

was at the parade- what a great event. Missed the rally(no ticket), but just finished watching it on TV. Quick was caught up in the moment with his expletives. Another thing….Quickie, please burn those shorts, they were hideous!
[Reply]
Please, ANYONE. I’m begging…
I live in Denver, and could not afford to come out for the parade/rally. I set it up to record on NHL Network, and because those idiots can’t get their act together, it didn’t tape. I missed just about the ENTIRE thing.
I’m begging…does anyone know if the parade and rally will be available for purchase at any time soon?
Please!
Please email me at mrbrett7@yahoo.com if you know anything…
Thank you

Go Kings Go!
