Kings Players Have Productive Start to Summer Vacation
What do you do when you miss the playoffs? You tweet. A lot.
Reports of friction between the Los Angeles Kings and coach Darryl Sutter have been making the rounds for a couple days now (and everyone's probably overreacting to them), but it seemed pretty clear that there's no sort of rift between the players themselves. However, yesterday may have indicated a deeper issue in the locker room.
Drew Doughty started things off innocently enough...

Judging by the retweets of judges Anze Kopitar, Alec Martinez, Jarret Stoll, Tyler Toffoli, and Martin Jones, Trevor Lewis got the win in this round.
Will this tension serve as a distraction going forward?! Stay tuned for our 3000-word column.
