SI’s cover story also looks at how Lombardi and coach Darryl Sutter began plotting during the Olympic break in February to dethrone the defending champion Chicago Blackhawks.

The national recognition that Lombardi, Darryl Sutter and the Kings players have catalyzed will surely help out in 2015 awards voting.
