About this episode

The LA Kings and the hockey world mourn the passing of Barry Melrose, who guided the Kings to their first-ever Stanley Cup Final and later became a beloved voice for hockey on ESPN. Eddie Garcia reflects on Melrose’s passionate impact on the team and the sport, revisiting memorable moments like the Gretzky bear hug and Melrose's role in promoting the game across the U.S. Is a Hall of Fame nod in his future? Plus, the Anaheim Ducks’ salary cap chaos may send Chris Kreider onto the market—should the Kings make a move for the veteran forward? Garcia examines the team’s roster needs and the likelihood of a signing.
