The Los Angeles Kings received their Stanley Cup rings Monday night and they are ginormous icons of largesse.
The Los Angeles Kings got their Stanley Cup rings at a private ceremony Monday night, but the rings didn’t stay private long.
Thanks to the miracle of social media, happy players were quickly sharing images of their new bling.
Tanner Pearson was getting his first ring as he was not one of the players who was also with the club when they won their first Stanley Cup in 2012.
He showed off the ring in the box:
It’s not until you see the ring on the hand of forward Trevor Lewis that you get an idea of just how ginormous the championship baubles are:

It took the Kings 44 years to win the franchise’s first Stanley Cup in 2012, when they rolled from the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference to beat back President’s Trophy winning Vancouver, St. Louis, Phoenix and New Jersey to capture the world’s shiniest house planter.
It only took the Kings two years to win it again, however, and they did it in dramatic fashion, coming back from a 3-0 series deficit in the first round to beat the San Jose Sharks, bouncing back from a 3-2 deficit to beat the Anaheim Ducks and avoiding blowing a 3-1 lead to beat the Chicago Blackhawks in overtime of Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals.
They won the Cup in five games over the New York Rangers, although three of the four wins went to overtime and two games—including the clincher—needed double-overtime.
And the team is still hungry, if this tweet from captain Dustin Brown is any indication:
