“We like each other. We love each other,” he said. “L.A.s the only thing I’ve ever known, being drafted here. But from what guys say that have played elsewhere, what we have here is pretty special, in terms of guys really liking each other, and that’s a testament to (general manager Dean Lombardi) putting together a group of guys like that.”

The arrest and subsequent suspension of teammate Slava Voynov after an alleged domestic assault raises a number of important issues outside the game of hockey. But one does have to wonder how this will affect such a tight-knit, successful team, and how management will respond.

Voynov is signed through 2018-19, with a cap hit of $4.17 million. Lombardi is still trying to find out how this could all play out…...

But suppose the allegations are true, that Voynov is indeed responsible for sending a woman to the hospital. Is that going to be someone the Kings welcome back into their “special” group?

How much of a role did this shitball play in their first-round series??
