You know the cliche - a picture is worth a thousand words. One word to describe the L.A. Kings: Champs.
The Kings celebrated their second Stanley Cup championship in three years with a parade and rally inside the Staples Center on Monday. There were speeches, including one involving some colorful language, and upwards of 300,000 people lining the streets, according to NHL.com.
Here, now, are some of the photos from the day’s event.
