Kings win the Stanley Cup; Twitter freaks out

The Los Angeles Kings have finally won a Stanley Cup after 45 years. They were able to clinch the most famous trophy in history against the New Jersey Devils in tonight’s game after a ref got steamrolled and they scored 6 goals. Now the cup finds a new home in LA.

1 = the @LAKings just won their first Stanley Cup in team history!
