In their 46-year history, the Kings have made it to the finals just once. Will they finally win?<br /><br />Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/NMAtv<br />Webpage: http://www.nma.tv/<br />Twitter @nmatv: https://twitter.com/#!/nmatv<br />Tumblr: http://nmatv.tumblr.com/<br /><br />After Game 3, the Kings lead the series 3-0 over the Devils.<br /><br />But while the Kings are playing well, they struggle for attention in a city where the Lakers and Dodgers are treated like royalty thanks to multiple championship wins. The Lakers have won 16 championships and the Dodgers have won six.<br /><br />In fact, the Kings have been a non-entity for so long that NBC Los Angeles confused the Kings with the team from Sacramento. During a newscast, anchor Chuck Henry introduced a story on the LA Kings with a logo for the basketball team the Sacramento Kings.<br /><br />Meanwhile, Liz Habib, a sports anchor for KTTV, flubbed her way through game highlights by referring to the puck as a ball and mixing up players' names.<br /><br />But the Kings are finally gaining clout. FOX Sports will pay $21 million a season for broadcast rights, up from $12 million.<br /><br />Nevertheless, if the Kings hope to win the Stanley Cup, the team needs to improve its power play, which has been lacking with an efficiency of just 7.8%.<br /><br />Should they succeed, maybe LA Kings gear will finally find a wider audience beyond gang members.
